Rep. Maxine Waters told Morning Joe back in October 2009 that Charles Rangel was not the only crook…
“We all suffer from disclosure issues.”

She wasn’t kidding.
Today Rep. Maxine Waters was charged with three counts of violating House rules. The far left representative influenced a $12 million bail-out in which she had a close business interest.
The Hill reported:
The House ethics committee said Monday it has charged Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) with three counts of violating House rules and the federal ethics code.
Waters is accused of using her position to help secure Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds for OneUnited Bank, in which her husband, a former bank board member, owned a sizable amount of stock.
Waters, a member of the House Financial Services Committee, is accused of violating a House rule that requires members to behave in a way that reflects “creditably” on the chamber. The committee argues that by trying to obtain assistance for OneUnited, she directly benefited herself by acting to preserve the value of her husband’s stock holdings.
She is also accused of violating the “spirit” of a House rule prohibiting the use of a lawmaker’s position for his or her own financial gain and a government code of ethics statute that bans the dispersal of special favors.

Obama does not care about ethics or committees to probe laws. He like crack, and printing money that our children will have to pay, some far off day if the USA survives.
Obama is all about class warfare and crack smoking.

Her defense of Charlie the Wrangel only proves the old saying; Waters seeks it’s own level.

Hopefully this will bring down Bawwney Fwwank along with her.

Pelosi said she would “drain the swamp” but an ol’ mama gator like ol’ “poke salad Maxine” will just dig down in the mud and wait it out. She will never resign and the ethics committee won’t do diddly squat.
God! I can’t wait ’til November to see how many of these slimy mofos are gone.

High crimes and misdemeanors. These are certainly interesting times. The Dem’s are not going to like what is going to happen.

Now, when will we be seeing Mrs. Pelosi charged, for:
- directing much (millions?) of “stimulus” money to her husband’s Western Samoa tuna canning business
-using the airforce fleet as a personal taxi service for her family, as well as herself
I guess it’ll be the same time we’ll see Misters Dodd and Frank charged, or Mr. Dacshle charged for being the head of the transportation committee in congress when his wife was a key airline lobbyist, or the Carnahans in Missouri, for conflict of interest w/ the wind farms, etc.
That’s ok. They must all think we don’t notice what they do, but, the funny thing is, we do notice.
Corruption can only permeate so long before truth and goodness emerge.

“Far Left Rep. Maxine Waters Charged on Three Ethics Counts”
The video was great.
The commentary was great.
Adding the words “far left” to the title of this post insults your readers.
