ZitatThe House ethics committee on Monday outlined its charges against Rep. Maxine Waters, who is accused of helping a bank in which her husband owned stock secure federal bailout funds.
The committee charged the 10-term California Democrat with three counts of violating House rules and the federal ethics code in connection with her effort to arrange a 2008 meeting between Treasury officials and representatives with OneUnited bank.
The panel said Waters, who sits on the Financial Services Committee, broke a House rule requiring members to behave in a way that reflects “creditably” on the chamber. The committee said that by trying to assist OneUnited, she stood to benefit directly, because her husband owned a sizable amount of stock that would have been “worthless” if the bank failed.
The committee also accused Waters of violating the “spirit” of a House rule prohibiting lawmakers from using their positions for financial gain, as well as a government ethics statute banning the dispensing of “special favors.”
Waters has vehemently denied wrongdoing and said she would rather defend herself at an ethics trial than admit to “something I did not do.”
I wonder if Mad Maxine will claim these charges are motivated by racism? In a perfect world she would not only be found guilty of these charges, but would also be censured for her calls for violence against administration figures.

Too good to be true
Unfortunately Waters proved to be coated in teflon and with the help of the race card was cleared in 2022

She'll play the full deck: Racism, Sexism, White Privilege, Classism. In her case I'd add one other: Specism. One canm argue Maxine barely qualifies as a primate...

Interesting thing about that video of Mad Maxine calling for harassment of administration officials. The crowd, at least what we can see of it, is mostly white.
Mad Maxine should be censured.
