California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters is certainly no stranger to controversy and scandal. In fact, she wallows in it. Waters strikes me as someone who believes she is above the law and can get away with whatever she wants. It’s one of the reasons she is seen as one of the most corrupt politicians in Congress.
A new complaint has been filed against Waters and it and the new unfolding scandal surrounding the complaint has the potential to finish off her career. The complaint involves an obscure fundraising tactic that has raked in thousands of dollars from state politicians in exchange for being listed on her slate mailers. This go-around, it involves supporters of a former Los Angeles mayor defeated in the June gubernatorial primary.
A conservative watchdog group named the National Legal and Policy Center is the one who filed the complaint with the Federal Election Commission against Waters, her campaign and a pro-charter school group called Families and Teachers for Antonio Villaraigosa — which backed the former Democratic mayor of Los Angeles.

Don’t know that California requires residency in one’s district. In any case, the Democrat-controlled Congress won’t expel her, the current Congress can’t expel her—requires 2/3rd vote, if she were expelled, her district would overwhelmingly re-elect her. I suppose that if she were caught on camera robbing a bank, she might have some political problems (but she might get reelected from her jail cell) but for what is cited her—fund-raising shenanigans—she’s untouchable.

You are correct sir..
Should have looked it up before I posted....
From Google;
“Some state and local lawmakers have been prosecuted for not living in the districts they ran to represent — a requirement under California law. When it comes to Congress, federal law only requires members live in the same state as the district.”
Ha, right! She will be gone like Menendez and Rangel are gone. Nope, not gonna happen.
She won’t even dare to live in her own District
No, promote her to Speaker or, maybe better, put her in charge of the DCCC
Whenever I hear she is finished I laugh. She sailed around the bank scandle a few years ago. She is skin tone immune.
New complaint my butt. This is just a repeat of an issue with Waters from years ago that cannot be prosecuted unless another Democrat within her organization does a turncoat on her, and that ain’t gonna happen.
Yeah, well, nothing is going to happen. Her constituents don’t care how corrupt she is an Nancy will never allow her to be removed
She as most Blacks always have the Race Card and that is a get out of Jail Free Card!
She needs a colorful cowboy hat.
Will claim racism.
She never said that.
.
No one is untouchable if someone with enough juice wants him or her gone.
Mad Maxine included.
ImPEACH ImPEACH
Yeah right. Wishful thinking!
The worst that can happen is that she'll serve constituents & serve time simultaneously.
Hasn't anybody heard of "House Arrest"?
Liberal
She is not finished. She has protective melanin, and so can do and say anything at all and get away with it.
If she starts messing with the money people (bankers); she may very well end up committing suicide by shooting herself 7 times in the back of the head. Hey; it happens. Just ask the Clinton enemies. Oops. Guess we can’t now. They be dead.
From what I see, Democrats (especially the female variety) get away with murder, treason, spying, espionage, larceny, tax evasion, election tampering, and all manner of fraud.
Even though this is common knowledge, the majority of the country barely raises an eyebrow.
Max is the right color and right gender - ain’t gonna happen.
