(Maxine) Waters chooses ethics trial

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) has chosen to go through an ethics trial, like the one lined up for New York Rep. Charles Rangel, rather than accepting charges made by an ethics subcommittee, a source familiar with the process tells POLITICO.

The back-to-back trials of a pair of black lawmakers represent an unprecedented use of an ethics adjudication system that has rarely been used by House members accused of breaking House rules.

Waters' case revolves around allegations that she improperly intervened with federal regulators to help a bank that her husband owned stock in and on whose board he once served.

[markomalley]

Waters is a nasty piece of work. I first remember her from the "no justice no peace" press conference after the Rodney King trial that set off the '92 LA riots.

[gundog]

Racism, plain and simple.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Mebbe so, but it’s clear there’s a white lib racist plot against her and Charlie The Tuna

Who’s next? Conman Conyers? Lyin Lewis? Emmanual Cleavage?

This Dem lynchmob has got to stop.

[J Edgar]

I’m looking forward to some good You Tube videos.
If she only knew how entertaining her diatribes are?

When ever I see her, I think of Sanford and Son, and speculate on the many episodes she could have starred in!

[Erik Latranyi]

Is this some setup? Rangel and Waters on trial, both get exonnerated for their crimes and cry “racism” to the media!

[cranked]

You forgot your sarcasm tag.....

Cities will BURN!!

[Farmer Dean]

Wow,they’re really thinning out that black caucus herd!

Ding-ding-ding. We have a winner!

Looks like Obama is going after the Congressional Black Caucus. Wonder what they did to tick him off?

[Moonman62]

They are draining the swamp.

[JSteff]

This, along with the Rangel affair will turn into a "race" situation. That would be great to see. Two dems going after the dem party.

Some how though, I think they will turn this around on the conservatives including the tea party.

[Ronin]

If that is there idea of “winning” than I am all in favor of it.

Any American voter with a half a grain of common sense can see how this is going to play out, and how the Democrats are shamelessly using the race card to cover up the misdeeds of two utterly corrupt slimeballs.

They will pay the price for this “victory” in November.

[Grut]

Keep in mind that so far, the function of ‘ethics probes’ in Congress has been to hand out free passes.

[ldish]

good

[kevao]

Why is the Congressional Black Caucus not protesting this vicious racist persecution of their colleagues?

[dragnet2]

Can I be honest?

She’s a lying racist.....

Spit*

[JSteff]

Good call, and I think you are right. But would they be so stupid to direct it to folks outside the dem party?

[w1andsodidwe]

The Waters case also presents a test of the Office of Congressional Ethics, an independent body that takes complaints from the public and chooses which ones to forward to the House ethics committee.

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus have complained that the OCE has unfairly and disproportionately targeted them, and many have signed onto a legislative effort to de-fang the office.

Waters' case was referred to the ethics committee by OCE.

Let's kill the messenger.

Marxine and Cholly have had it coming for ages, the pigs. As far as 'cities will burn', back in the day we called it 'urban renewal'. If those freeloaders and savages get caught within their own walls of flame, so much the better.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

[Popman]

Obama isn’t going “after” the CBC, he’s using them for whatever poltical purpose he has planned

[ldish]

who is persecuting them...a muslim socialist, commie pig...whoops...pig and muslim in the same sentence

[doc1019]

Since the election of Obama the stockpiles of self-defense weaponry has increased amongst the concerned ... try and burn my community. LOL

[Volunteer]

Waters claims that the CIA introduced crack cocaine into the African-American community.

I hope they kick this scumbag out of Congress.

[historyrepeatz]

Plug the hole or drain the swamp?

[Osage Orange]

Gonna take more draining...that those two leaks.

Cry racism and get the black vote out in November. We are being set up.

I love it. If there’s any justice, this trial could be very interesting.

Not a contender for the Mensa Society though.

Those devious Rats are quite creative you must admit! The joker is wild but the Ace of Spades is their trump card.

The back-to-back trials of a pair of black lawmakers represent an unprecedented use of an ethics adjudication system...

...it's almost as if they thought they'd get a free pass just because they're black, and that's why they didn't even bother to be subtle about their "lapses".

[truth_seeker]

“Why is the Congressional Black Caucus not protesting this vicious racist persecution of their colleagues?”

I expect if it goes what they deem to be “too far” they will play their race card.

[Bean Counter]

But what makes this especially delicious to savor is that it is Dhimmie v Dhimmie; more specifically, Dhimmie v Black Dhimmie, and nobody gets nastier with the vicious race card than Maxine the Red. It this goes to trial, especially right before the elections and on National television...

Hope she remembers those remarks...

Looks like my first fews days back at work this year are going to see my fellow teachers a tad antsy! Especially since I work at a rather ummmm intense inner city high school in Miami, FL. Should be interesting.

Corruption in politics is just one more place, where negroes are not proportionately represented. They have MORE than their share of:

—corrupt politicians

—black on white crimes

—black on black crimes

—out of wedlock births

—unemployment

—prison

—public assistance (welfare, foodstamps, housing, medical)

[historyrepeatz]

Lorrrrrrrd have mercy!

[RummyChick]

Can’t wait for Obama to say she should end her reign in dignity...hahahahaha

[woofie]

thank God for that Obama pendant
