Rep. Maxine Waters' campaign committee reportedly paid $10,000 for tickets to Broadway smash hit "Hamilton" and wrote the payment off as a fundraiser expense.
Citizens for Waters paid for tickets on Aug. 26, according to a Federal Election Commission report of receipts and disbursements.
A representative of the California Democrat, a strident opponent of President Trump, did not immediately return a request for comment from the Washington Examiner about the disclosure.
Inquiries made to Ticket Fulfillment Services LP, the recipient listed on the form, were also not immediately responded to.
Citizens for Waters raised a total of $954,948 and spent $1.05 million to re-elect Waters — a member of the U.S. Congress since 1991 — as of Dec. 1 2016, per Inside Gov.
"Hamilton" creater Lin-Manuel Miranda has been linked to various Democratic and progressive causes in the past.
The cast of the musical famously addressed Vice President Mike Pence when he attended a performance just after the Nov. 8, 2016, elections.
You won’t see this in the WaPo.
As corrupt as she is she is part of the “untouchable” crowd.
Some watchdog organization has named Waters the most corrupt member of congress for 6 years running
“As corrupt as she is she is part of the “untouchable” crowd.”
We have a two tiered justice system.
here’s a great article about her ‘ethics’..
“The newfound Maxine Waters Fan Club might want to know that Waters’s government cronyism and self-dealing earned her a “Most Corrupt member of Congress” designation from the left-wing Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington five times — in 2005, 2006, 2009, 2011, and 2017.”

ping to Mad Maxine..
I don’t know...but I do know, that my husband, who works for the Canadian federal government, would never do that. He actually has principles. We may be on the verge of divorce, but he would never take advantage of his position, which is actually pretty high.
Btw, he wouldn’t have gotten there had he not met me. He didn’t speak a word of English when we met. LOL! (He is from Quebec). :) You can’t get far in Canada if you can’t speak English....

I’d like to think the AG could take an interest in this.. sigh..
