House Ethics Committee finds no violations in Rep. Waters case
Associated Press ^ | 9/21/12

Posted on 09/21/2012 7:41:51 AM PDT by Justaham

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.

“Maxine Waters will not be charged with ethics violations.”

Of course not.
She’s a Dem, she could be caught red handed with a knife and a fresh body and would never be charged unless public outcry reached beyond a fever pitch.

I thought about the same. These people get away with everything. I bet she never even broke a sweat, knowing the fix was in.

Another bunch of spineless Republicans heard from. They can only cash their checks and blab about how tough they are when they are campaigning back in their districts.

When dealing with obvious Democrat corruption, they are geldings.

I wonder, if this committee hearing was anything like having Roland Feisler as the leading judge in the Nuremberg trials “after” WW II?

Of course not, to find a violation would show the hypocrisy of many of the others.
