She is a prominent Democrat, so I guess it's OK, "the culture of corruption" statute doesn't apply.

So Maxine Waters is on the House Financial Services Committee and her husband is a director for a bank they are both invested in.

No conflict of interest there...

Washington is a cesspool.

DEMS are not a “new mob”, they are an “old mob”. They are organized like mafia - they are, after all, in “minority protection” racket - with the unions and “activists” / “organizers” as an enforcement arm.

And they practically own legal system, propaganda and all levels of brainwashing institutions (K-U), and quite a large segment of financial industry...

In today’s political environment, corruption is defined by the media, and it’s defined solely as being of the wrong political affiliation. Period.

She’s an idiot.

It's the people who keep electing her who are truly idiots, if they think that she and her ilk have their best interests in mind.

Democrats cannot commit moral turpitude because they are at the start a-moral, having no values other than empowering their political capital. Maxine is a piece of commie entitlement work. She’s so powerful now, she can threaten the oil industry that she and her demcorat party will take over the oil industry if they don’t do as she tells them.

“ms” Waters is also a viscous attack dog when it comes to defending ACORN and Fannie and Freddie. ANY time there’s anything going on remotely touching on ACORN, Fannie n Freddie, that CBC biotch is right up there in it. I dare say “Ms.” Waters is as corrupt as Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. Not to mention she is PART of a system that has beggared people she says she was trying to help and she ACTIVELY assists in keeping Black people both ignorant and dependent on Government. All so she can stay in her cushy Congressional Position.

If I were one of her black supporters I would be out to smack that evil twit right the heck out of congress for her betrayal of the Black American Community.

Is that a strong enough condemnation?
