The House ethics committee announced Wednesday that it is extending probes into two lawmakers -- Democrat Maxine Waters of California and Republican Sam Graves of Missouri -- in unrelated cases while it deferred investigation into a case involving Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct did not say why it was extending the probes, but that they related to an unannounced question surrounding the conduct of Waters and an unspecified matter regarding Graves.
In a news release the panel said the committee extended the probe into Graves for 45 days even though the Office of Congressional Ethics did not find a "substantial reason to believe" that the lawmaker was guilty of any misconduct and had found information "that may contain exculpatory evidence" which was never provided to Graves.

Anyone.....
Jackson Jr. was already a snitch for some other prosecutor on some other case from what I thought I read, so he already was caught doing something I would think.
Depending how valuable Jackson Jr. is will probably determine what charges they go after him on currently IMO.
Sounds like Graves might be cleared with further investigation.
Waters on the other hand...
it is possible that Waters is under investigation for her role in the decision to provide $12 million in federal bailout funds to OneUnited Bank, where her husband, Sidney Williams, had served on the board and owned a minimum of $500,000 in stock in 2007.
Are they going to sweep it under the rug?
But they had not chased him on that because he was of use on some other issue as a witness and informant if memory serves me right.
It was something like that I think G-GOP.
Are they going to sweep it under the rug?
Does Charlie Rangel sleep on the beach?Does Charlie Rangel withhold payment of taxes?
Does Charlie Rangel fail to report income property?
Does Charlie Rangel refuse to comment?
Don’t make me laugh!
