Two of the three firms providing legal counsel to Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., in his pending ethics cases are lobbying firms. In fact, one firm, Oldaker, Belair & Wittie, conducts much of Rangel's political fundraising, while operating four different lobby shops.

But who's ultimately paying Rangel's legal bills? Mostly corporate and union political action committees along with individual lobbyists. Over the past six months, PACs and lobbyists have accounted for a majority of the money Rangel's campaign has raised this year, not counting transfers from Rangel's other fundraising operations (more on them below).

Ahhhh Rangel nice guy. He who has been taking care of his wall street buddies for so long is now being repaid (sorta) for his true loyalties.
Another POS who has been in power too long. Shackle him up and throw him out.
Its sickening that these "lobbyists" can not only buy politicians, but that after their true colors are shown, they still benefit by defending them, both monetarily and politically. Fuckin shell game is what it is. So glad things have changed in Washington - NOT.
