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 bank board.
Waters was a senior member of the congressional committee dealing with the financial crisis at the time that 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.

Thanks. I should have checked before I posted.
Name one Democrat in Washington who isn’t corrupt.
Ah, yes, OneUnited Bank. The only minority owned bank in Massachusetts, which, if I recall, owned a Porsche for use by its executives. And they were in the red? Say it ain’t so.
Bawney Fwank has his grimy mitts in getting OneUnited bailed out too. He should be in prison for his role in FNMA, FHLMC and all the rest. A women’s prison.
Get your cracker ass in line, get in the back of the bus, and you sure as hell better never, ever step out of line again. It is now your turn to be the slave.
Your future retirement has been stolen, as was Maxine's freedom. Now you will be made to work into your 90’s so you can “pay your fair share”...you know...”be patriotic”.
Just in case you happen to hide some cash and assets under your white-ass hair piece, you once again will get whipped, just as Maxine was. Your estate will be taxed to the point that all of your offspring will have to...you guessed it...work into their 100’s so they can “pay their fair share”...you know...”be patriotic”.
One more thing. Your lovely home will need to be either down sized or destroyed by bankruptcy or foreclosure. You too must live as all of the third world does, just like Maxine Waters DID! You may be smart, but Marxists have the power. The revolution will not be televised. The Revolution Will Be Live!
Bawney don't mind, women have fists. I say he needs a major league bat!
Culture of corruption again.
She doesn’t have to worry about ever going to jail. She won’t even ever be reprimanded by her co-conspirators in congress.
Scrutinize real good on this one!....She’s got a lot to hide!
