During the height of the 2008 fiscal crisis, Waters helped arrange a meeting between the Treasury Department and top executives of a bank where her husband was a shareholder. Using her post on the House Financial Committee as leverage, she called Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson personally, asking him to meet with minority-owned banks.
When Treasury followed through, there was only one financial institution present: OneUnited. Had that bank gone under, the New York Times reported, Waters' husband would've lost as much as $350,000. Luckily for the Waters family, OneUnited received a cool $12 million in bailout funds.
After three years of special investigation, the ethics committee eventually ruled that Waters didn't technically break any rules. But that ruling came after unearthing her more than questionable family business practices, like making her grandson, Mikael Moore, her chief of staff.

Another dressed up “Street Rat” scamming the public.
Mad Maxine is the poster child for the disease known as Liberalism.
What little brain she had has been totally eaten away by it....she’s insane and should be locked up with the rest of em. California would be so much better off.
I still remember that bitch saying “Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson and Jaime Gorelick are blah, blah blah” in the Fannie/Freddy scandals. She lauded them and defended them all the while they were allowing that credit derivative crap to propagate and cost us billions/trillions? They each got untold millions as bonuses and we got the damned bill.
She and Barney Frank are the authors of the worst economic letdown of the century IMO.
Leave Maxine alone ,she’s crowned herself Leader of the Demonut Party
Oh yes she is too. The crazy old bat is protected by the corrupt Media and the Race Industry. She can babble like the low-IQ moron she is without fear of any consequences of her stupidity.
She's black, she's female, she's a Marxist, and she's got a government job. That's as good as it gets in this rapidly crumbling society.
...hey Maxi,steal anymore taxpayer money?
Waters: You bring up anything against me you be racist.
“When I investigate a man and prove he’s a criminal, if he doesn’t already work for the government, they’ll hire him. If he already has a government job, once they hear he’s a crook they’ll promote him. The criminals in Congress only feel comfortable with other criminals.”
Charlie Winstead, the FBI agent who gunned down John Dillinger. From his book, “The Bureau”, William C. Sullivan quotes Charlie Winstead as saying the above (P.27)
Looks to me like anyone who needs ‘impeachment’ is old Maxie....
When you realize that the libs are only for themselves and not for the betterment of America and her people, then you can understand who and what they are...
What rat is?
Can Maxine Waters even SPELL “ethics”? She seems to get hung up on some pretty spotty definitions, like “impeachment”. She seems to have a rather poor interpretation of what may or may not constitute an “impeachable” behavior or conduct.
Being rich & powerful doesn’t defend Mad Maxine & Nancy Pelosi from being two over-the-hill extremist ‘crazy ladies’ with a foot in the grave.....
Just like the Evil_Witch from Little Rock, the clock has run own on those two grifters....
I hope that you are correct.
This stupid b*tch still thinking the Russians are invading Korea?
Rats have no problem with wealth as long as you are stealing it from the government and not actually earning it.
The ones who will replace the likes of Waters and Feinstein will be worse. Far worse.
“The ones who will replace the likes of Waters and Feinstein will be worse. FAR WORSE.”
Exactly,... President Trump may buy us some time, but the next generation of communist subversives will be the end of our Constitutional Republic.
She does nothing for the people she represents. She is only there to line her own pockets.
I keep hoping some of the younger intelligent members of her constituents will find out the truth about her and get her out of office.
