The average American tax paying peon has more chances of being thrown in jail for not wearing a stinking mask, than these politicians do for committing major ethics violations and outright felony fraud.
Only a million? /s
No problem, she is a democrat, nothing will happen to her.
She’s in a very safe dim seat. She didn’t need to spend a cent to get reelected. The only reason to donate to her is to buy her politically.
Oh well, she’s a democrat so nothing will become of it. Nothing ever does.
Probably won’t be held accountable-that might be racist.
And she will face no penalty whatsoever. That’s the country we now live in.
DITTO...
What about the 12 million she steered into her husbands company? That was our money disguised as a gift from the 40forthed inlegit resideny. Que up that Benny Hill song.
Here is the entire thing - based on a Free Beacon report.
Maxine Waters Caught Funneling Over $1 Million in Campaign Cash to Daughter

Maxine Waters have given her daughter over $1 million in campaign cash
Controversial Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) has been caught funneling over $1 million in campaign cash to her daughter, a financial paper trail has revealed.
Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings show Karen Waters, daughter of the California lawmaker, took home $1.13 million from the campaign coffers.
The payments were allegedly for providing various “services” for her mother’s campaign since 2003.
Most of the cash is for her role in running a slate-mailer operation.
The scheme involves California lawmakers giving money to Waters’ campaign in exchange for mailers bearing her apparent endorsement.
The mailers have become increasingly lucrative for the younger Waters over the years.
During the 2020 cycle, her payments hit a high of $240,000, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
That’s significantly more than the $90,000 her firm, Progressive Connections, took in during the 2006 election cycle.
The Federal Election Commission gave Waters the green light for the mailer operation in 2004.
While slate mailers are commonplace in states like California and Oregon, the practice is extremely rare at the federal level.
In fact, Waters appears to be the only federal politician to use a slate-mailer operation.
As such, the arrangement between her and her daughter has led to complaints from watchdog groups.
The FEC has been called on to audit the campaign over the concerns.
Many prominent California politicians have paid to be featured on the mailers.
Kamala Harris twice shelled out tens of thousands from her campaigns for a spot on the mailers.
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) and former Sen. Barbara Boxer (D) have likewise dished out cash for Waters’ support.
The practice has received criticism from local media.
“While some of these mailers reflect the earnest political values of the organizations that put them together, many are pay-to-play money-makers that blur the line between endorsement, paid advertisement, and extortion,” CalMatters wrote last year.
Waters’ campaign has yet to comment on the findings.
It’s OK, she’s not only a Democrat politician, she’s a black Democrat politician, so she can break any and every law, and ignore every ethical standard without consequences.
What amazes me is that anyone , in her entire life , would have sex with Maxine Waters. It just goes to show , again, that some men will have sex with anything.
Waters Has Shoveled Over $1 Million in Campaign Cash to Daughter

This is Standard Operating Procedure SOP for most democRATS. They run for office, whether or not they have any chance of winning, to tap into all that campaign cash. Family and friends create nonprofits and siphon most of the ‘donations’ purporting to ‘work.’ democRATS cannot get a regular job, show up every day, work, save. That idea is anathema to them. The ones that run for higher office siphon incredible amounts. One year Bernie Sanders wife had a campaign organization that funneled over $80 million dollars into their pockets. This is another reason they, both Republicans and democRATS despised Trump. He did not use all those ‘experts’ in the 2016 campaign. Some of these so-called ‘experts’ have never won a race. But they think they knew better. They did not get to siphon off their percentage of the campaign dollars. Many of them became never Trumpers.
"Caught," has so many subtle nuances of meaning. If this was a conservative, "caught," would be like a coyote in a trap, implying it was immobilized and that something really bad was going to happen. As it involves Marxine Waters, "caught," is used more along the same lines as a bird that has been "caught," on film by a wildlife photographer.
Duncan Hunter was forced to resign from congress for 1 tenth the amount. He was also nearly given a year in jail.
Goes to show how some congress animals are more equal than others.
No surprise. Just another corrupt demonrat. Lotta that goin around.
Congress...where people spend 10s of millions to get a job that pays (on the surface) thousands.
Just funneling some reparations to a deserving African-American.
And ho much found it’s way back to her.
