"I don't know nuttin bout no bank"

Rep. Maxine Waters, one of Los Angeles' most enduring liberal politicians, has come under scrutiny because of bailout funds that went to a bank in which her husband had owned stock and served on the board.
Waters was a senior member of the congressional committee dealing with the financial crisis when OneUnited Bank -- one of the nation's largest minority-owned institutions -- received $12 million in bailout funds.
Her husband, Sidney Williams, served on the bank board until early last year and held at least $500,000 in investments in the bank in 2007, the most recent year for which public financial disclosure statements are available.
A month before Congress enacted the bailout program, Waters helped set up a meeting between the chief executive of the bank, representatives of other financial institutions and Treasury officials.
"When a member of the financial services committee calls, you pay special attention," said Jeb Mason, who was a high-ranking Treasury official last fall.

ALL Marxists are dirty because their bleeding hearts make them think they are above the law so as to forward their Utopian ideology. So it's ever been...
This story will go nowhere. Racism!
So it’s ever been... So it seems...and the party of bleeding hearts is home to most, if not all of them.
LMAO !!
And that is a far as it will go. . .
I have seen this rodeo too many times. . . .
Maxine or Bill Cosby? Whonose?
“Programs we need programs”-Maxine Waters
...remember her slip during the hearings?....take over the oil companies?
So was Charlie Rangel. Rules are for thee, not for me.
No mention of party affiliation...other than her being a liberal. Maybe they meant Libertarian...
Hopefully They will FRY her Mangy Butt over This Obviously GROSS, INTENTIONAL CRIMINAL ACT!! Oh, she will say “GEE. I never knew, little old stupid me?” MAXINE was behind the Horrible Riots of LA and she is a Ripoff Artist thru and thru.:-)
One of the worst crooks ever. It’s about time someone noticed this woman and her crooked deals.
