Rep. Maxine Waters’ daughter collected $240K from congresswoman’s campaign

The daughter of California Rep. Maxine Waters netted around $240,000 this past election cycle — from her mother’s own campaign, new records show.

The congresswoman’s campaigns shelled out payments to Karen Waters for work she did on her 82-year-old mother’s reelection campaign, including “slate mailer management” and “GOTV” — or likely “Get Out the Vote” services.

The payments appear in new Federal Election Commission filings reported by Fox News on Friday.

More than $212,600 in disbursements to Karen Waters are broken down into 26 entries such as “slate mailer management” fees, “office expenses” and “canvassing” between March 2019 and September 2020.

Another $28,150 in payments to Karen Waters occurred in October and November, for “GOTV” and “slate mailer management” fees — though one for $1,000 was simply labeled “Walker payments.”

Maxine Waters, who chairs the House Financial Services Committee, has been scrutinized over payments to her daughter before. Her campaign has paid Karen Waters or her public relations firm Progressive Connections to produce, print and mail slate mailers since 2004, Fox News said.

Since then, Waters’ daughter has reportedly received almost $1 million from the campaign.

How is this not illegal?

What kind of legislation could be put forward to make such clearly unethical behavior illegal?

With Dems controlling the voting, even if people want to get rid of these criminals, they can’t. The election is a fraud covering up a criminal enterprise.

These people don’t suffer from lockdowns. Their paychecks keep on coming. No wonder they stay in office so long past retirement age.

How is this not illegal?

What kind of legislation could be put forward to make such clearly unethical behavior illegal?

It's actually quite easy to explain. The legislature decides what laws get passed, which means they decide what is legal and illegal.

Every election candidates all over the nation promise to go and "clean up washington" and some of them even try. What they don't ever do is make a meaningful dent because those do gooders have to get reforms passed through the very legislature they just got elected to serve with by calling their new coworkers dirty.

Ethics regs within the legislature are mostly a CYA attempt to make it look like they are ethical, but really what they're doing is making the paperwork for unethical behavior look clean. That's why the DC establishment fixated on Trump's taxes so much. He never set up his finances to look like a politician's, so it would be easy to paint him as unethical while a whole branch of government is filled with politicians who somehow become multimillionaires on low six figure government salaries with "clean" paperwork.

Even a constitutional amendment at this point would probably fall short of cleaning it up, unless it was so carefully crafted so as to never gain the popular support needed for passage.
