House Ethics Committee finds no violations in Rep. Waters case

California Democratic congresswoman Maxine Waters will not be charged with ethics violations.

At a meeting Friday, House Ethics Committee members said they found no violations in their investigation of allegations she steered a $12 million federal bailout to a bank where her husband owns stock. Waters is a senior Democrat on the Financial Services Committee.

The committee, however, said Waters' chief of staff, Mikael Moore, did take actions in Congress in an attempt to help the bank and violated standards of conduct. Moore likely will receive a letter admonishing him for his conduct. but will not face more severe punishment, such as a reprimand, by the full House.

Virginia Republican Rep. Bob Goodlatte, who is acting chairman of the panel, announced the tentative findings at a hearing but noted the committee has not issued a final report.

Can you imagine what his list of Executive Pardons will look like just before he leaves office. How many Chicago thugs will be back on the street?

We Conservatives will do our part to vote in Republicans just because there is no other option to erase this panty skid mark of the Obama administration from our midst, but for whomever from the Party who might be reading this, you are on notice that you are the next dust ball that will be swept away. You spineless fargin bassturds!

Check in with Robert Bennett of Utah to get a feel for how it feels so it won’t be a sudden shock to your system that we surround you, not the other way around.

I like your attitude. Big Boot in November.

If they had issued so much as a mild rebuke, it would have been labeled as a lynching.

Just remember, the percentage of minorities in government is far greater than in the general population...not that race matters.

Why am I not surprised?!

Look at me, NOT being surprised!

The D after her name and the high melanin content of her skin make her invulnerable to ethics charges.

Clearly it was just a coincidence.

“Unexpected”

This is a ‘House committee’....the House is controlled by Republicans. Republicans have found her to be ‘honest and clean’. There is very little difference in ACTUAL politics in DC between the 2 parties.

"House Ethics Committee finds no violations in Rep. Waters case..."

Of course not. Waters is as pure as wind driven slush.

Truly barf-worthy news. Rs scared of being called racist. Same reason they let Obama and Holder operate outside of the law.

Yep, you’re right.

All weak kneed.

Worthless.

Scares the h-e-double-hockeysticks outta me. Imagine Gitmo’s doors being thrown wide open.

Its to bad unethical people’s tongues do not fall out of their head when they use words like “ethical” or “truth” or “fairness”
There would be a whole lot less prog/commie/libs in public office.
