Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) and Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) won't face public ethics trials until after the election.

The House ethics committee announced Thursday that Rangel’s trial will begin Nov. 15 and Waters’s is set to start Nov. 29.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), who chairs the panel, made the decision unilaterally after Republicans publicly balked last week about the delay in setting the schedule and argued the trials should be held before the November midterm election.

1. I don't think they are called trials but hearings...trials makes it sound ominous...

which may be the article's intent.

2. Good. They are just political show trials, targetting prominent Black politicians

in order to inflame the racist GOP base.
