Ethics Panel Investigates Waters, Graves and Jackson

Rollcall ^

[wingsof liberty]

The House ethics committee revealed Wednesday it is investigating allegations involving three lawmakers in unrelated incidents.

The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, commonly known as the ethics panel, issued separate statements Wednesday identifying inquiries into Reps. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.), Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and Sam Graves (R-Mo.).

This is all well and good, but would someone please tell me what the point is?? EVERY time an investigation is done and turns up something, our "fair and non-partisan" house speaker Nancy Pelosi dismisses the results. Otherwise John Murtha would have been locked up a long time ago. Your tax dollars at work, folks....

they will play the race card and everything will go away with our Neutered reps smiling.

Democrats stick together to maintain power. That is all there is to it.

The ethics committee did not indicate what allegations it is examining involving Waters, but a series of news reports earlier this year questioned the California lawmaker’s 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.

Dang racist ethics committee.

I wonder if this was a diversion on Ms. Water part?”

Graves is the exception, most investors in biofuels don’t have any income to forget to disclose.

I AM SO FU*KING TIRED OF THIS BS

Dear God we ask you to fully expose the corruption in our government and leaders and let them be held accountable. Remove them from ruling over us and trashing the founders vision for the nation they entrusted to You we pray!

Finding guilty, corrupt black politicians guilty of corruption is racist.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

So why read this article. We all know NOTHING will be done. We are a Banana Republic. Never thought I would say this but we are looking into moving out of the US in a yr or 2. Don’t know if we will find the place but I’m looking. This nation has become a cesspool of corruption. Urkel who can’t produce the birth certificate & his ilk will destroy whats left.

[K-oneTexas]

It lists Waters but doesn’t give specifics. What’s her investigation about.

Her recent comment was about investigating conservatives for racists views. Guess, conservatives will be fair game for some time to come and guilty till proven innocent. Which will not happen of course.

Maybe I should stop reading all the articles that would lower my blood pressure but then it would be sticking my head in the sand so to say. There need to be a second revolution in this county to remove all these scumbag who have placed themselves above the laws by controlling the laws. I am seriously beginning to pray that God's judgment would fall on this nation for everything we've done since ww2 that we have no business doing. This is no longer a Godly country and it is a mockery to what His plan was for this county.

"This liberal is all about playing my Obama Teflon Race Card. Nothing is going to stick to me. You crackers at Rollcall can kiss my black @$$."

Graves is my critter. He’s a good guy, very conservative. Hate to see this happen to him, I’m sure the rats will use it in the next election no matter the outcome.

Rats get caught all the time with their hands in the cookie Jar but nothing ever happens too them.
