House Ethics Committee finds no violations in Rep. Waters case

Associated Press ^ | 9/21/12

[Justaham]

California Democratic congresswoman Maxine Waters will not be charged with ethics violations.

At a meeting Friday, House Ethics Committee members said they found no violations in their investigation of allegations she steered a $12 million federal bailout to a bank where her husband owns stock. Waters is a senior Democrat on the Financial Services Committee.

The committee, however, said Waters' chief of staff, Mikael Moore, did take actions in Congress in an attempt to help the bank and violated standards of conduct. Moore likely will receive a letter admonishing him for his conduct. but will not face more severe punishment, such as a reprimand, by the full House.

Virginia Republican Rep. Bob Goodlatte, who is acting chairman of the panel, announced the tentative findings at a hearing but noted the committee has not issued a final report.

Further proof that Holder’s People are above, beyond and outside the law.

The D after her name is all she needs................D’s can’t be convicted because they are never guilty, doncha know.

Life’s a bitch—and then you die.

[Darksheare]

“Maxine Waters will not be charged with ethics violations.”

Of course not.
She’s a Dem, she could be caught red handed with a knife and a fresh body and would never be charged unless public outcry reached beyond a fever pitch.

I thought about the same. These people get away with everything. I bet she never even broke a sweat, knowing the fix was in.

NO SURPRISE.

[txrefugee]

Another bunch of spineless Republicans heard from. They can only cash their checks and blab about how tough they are when they are campaigning back in their districts.

When dealing with obvious Democrat corruption, they are geldings.

[GeronL]

Democrats are above the law.

Ask Eric Holder and Sebellius

[DallasGOPMan]

No back bone in our country any more, we’ve created a generation of wusses. Just wait till this next generation truly comes into play. Pray for this country.

[Bringbackthedraft]

I wonder, if this committee hearing was anything like having Roland Feisler as the leading judge in the Nuremberg trials “after” WW II?

[jazusamo]

Nope, no surprise at all.

[onyx]

Democrats are all the same... corrupt.

Their vote on obamacare proved that.

[onyx]

Vote them all out.

[Irenic]

Of course not, to find a violation would show the hypocrisy of many of the others.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Democrats are above the law.

[boomop1]

Throw them all out.

Can you imagine what his list of Executive Pardons will look like just before he leaves office. How many Chicago thugs will be back on the street?

We Conservatives will do our part to vote in Republicans just because there is no other option to erase this panty skid mark of the Obama administration from our midst, but for whomever from the Party who might be reading this, you are on notice that you are the next dust ball that will be swept away. You spineless fargin bassturds!

Check in with Robert Bennett of Utah to get a feel for how it feels so it won’t be a sudden shock to your system that we surround you, not the other way around.

I like your attitude. Big Boot in November.

If they had issued so much as a mild rebuke, it would have been labeled as a lynching.

Just remember, the percentage of minorities in government is far greater than in the general population...not that race matters.

[MrB]

Why am I not surprised?!

Look at me, NOT being surprised!

[MrB]

The D after her name and the high melanin content of her skin make her invulnerable to ethics charges.

Clearly it was just a coincidence.

“Unexpected”

[yadent]

This is a ‘House committee’....the House is controlled by Republicans. Republicans have found her to be ‘honest and clean’. There is very little difference in ACTUAL politics in DC between the 2 parties.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The rule of law does not apply to “people of color.”

"House Ethics Committee finds no violations in Rep. Waters case..."

Of course not. Waters is as pure as wind driven slush.

Truly barf-worthy news. Rs scared of being called racist. Same reason they let Obama and Holder operate outside of the law.

[onyx]

Yep, you’re right.

All weak kneed.

Worthless.

Scares the h-e-double-hockeysticks outta me. Imagine Gitmo’s doors being thrown wide open.

let’s get ethical !

Its to bad unethical people’s tongues do not fall out of their head when they use words like “ethical” or “truth” or “fairness”
There would be a whole lot less prog/commie/libs in public office.

[AbolishCSEU]

Black is the new Teflon—only if there is a “D” after your name, however.

[theDentist]

Republicans also went along with it. Total Whitewash, each side protecting the other so they in turn can be protected.

[Tzimisce]

...If I were corrupt like her, I’d be in jail right now.

Of course I’m white, male and conservative....

[no-to-illegals]

One cannot blame the People (aka Citizens) for being frustrated. The criminals walk, and those who told us they were conservative balk. Will agree it is frustrating, though let us not be discouraged. This victory to come will be sweet, but the sweetness of a full surrender by those who control us is coming, because we have united. There are more of us than there are of them. Be glad, it is not over yet. I can see the goal-line from my house. It will not be easy to bring our country back to its rightful owners (the Citizens). Everyone here knew when we enlisted for this fight, it would be long and difficult. We can win, dang it, we have to, do we not? Fight on, I can see the goal-line. I can see the next hill. We are going to win. Never ever give the enemy back the gains we have won. We owe it to ourselves. We owe it to America. We owe it to all who cried in the churches, in the wars, in the silent battle waged to keep our nation. We are now vocally displaying our disdain, and our voices shall ring throughout this land. These voices shall echo greater than the shot heard round the world in 1776. I have no doubt. We have them on the run. They fear us, and with good cause. They know they are wrong. Ronald Reagan says, Give ‘em Hades!

[yadent]

LOL, seen the actual value of a dime lately? Good day to ya!

[NormsRevenge]

Ethics?

in CONgre$$?

How unAmerican.

They are the representatives of their constituents after all..

or so I have long been told.

[TribalPrincess2U]

chief of staff, Mikael Moore, another scapegoat.

[DoughtyOne]

In other news, 98% of the committee couldn’t find the equipment necessary to pleasure themselves. 86% couldn’t find their own belly-button.

To set the record straight, Maxine Waters was able to find both. She’s also able to recognize that she committed a crime here.

[kingu]

Look! Up in the sky! It’s a floater!

Float out that she might be found not guilty, see if anyone’s paying attention on the Friday news dump... Coast clear? Publish final report following Friday, and it all goes away.

[mcleodglen]

What? That's shocking, i mean it's so obvious.
