LOS ANGELES (AP) - Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters' family members earned more than $1 million over the last eight years by doing business with companies, candidates and causes that she helped, according to a newspaper report Sunday.
Waters' daughter and son pocketed fees from campaigns endorsed by the congresswoman's election mailers while her husband worked for a bond underwriting firm seeking government business from her political allies, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Waters, an influential lawmaker who has represented Inglewood, Hawthorne, Gardena and parts of Los Angeles since 1990, declined to answer detailed questions, insisting her family's fortunes were kept apart from her political activities.

LOL
Yea, Mr. Senator Diane Feinstein has made Billions from the Legislation that DiFi got passed for his trade with China.
She's poison. That woman looks like she was weaned on kerosine.
Just like all the other multi-millionaires in South Central ...
(Or in the least, have her committed to an asylum)
Just Jesse in drag!
Do you have any before and after pictures to post?
I haven't seen her lately.
No big suprise here. This female would be a blot on any group she came from because she has tunnel vision. In addition she encouraged the south central L.A. riots that resulted in Millions of Dollars in damages and many deaths.
I guess this is what liberal swine mean when they hawk the benefits of "minority hiring."
If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
Nah, not Maxine! Why she's so honest and above board, I just can't believe she and her family would be a part of something like this. /blatant sarcasm
Real jail terms for Maxine and her family. Without the usual bs when I get out of jail, I'll make a lot more money with becoming CEO of X or Y dummy corporation or maybe I will write a book. First, I have to hire a publicity firm that will make sure that I am loved.
And I have to make sure they all know what I did was forgivable uh, forgetable.
Well if the MSM picks up on this story of Maxine and her little helpers .. THEN I will be truly shocked
