The committee said new material has come to light that has prompted a decision to send the Waters case back to the initial subcommittee that first looked into it, according to CBS Radio News Capitol Hill Correspondent Bob Fuss. That four-member subcommittee will now reexamine the evidence against Waters. Was this "new material" in large or small denominations?

...seriously, we don't know if this new material would help exonerate her or, quite possibly, involves evidence of further crimes. That's what I'm wondering.
Does anybody know how she's regarded by the other Dims? The impression I get is that she's a b!tch.
They could be throwing her to the lions.

Hope they found something to indict Barney Frank, too.
Is that just wishful thinking on my part?

But, seriously, we don't know if this new material would help exonerate her or, quite possibly, involves evidence of further crimes. I would say that it's probably exoneration or at least a plausible excuse. That's the only good reason to delay.
If it was evidence of new crimes, the Democrats would want to push her through the ethics committee hearing whitewash and censure her like Rangel before the Republicans take over.
Then, the Republicans would be in a difficult position to initiate a new investigation over the same issue. Kind of like double-jeopardy: you can't be tried twice for the same crime.

This arrogant, dim-witted thug has been funneling money to her husbands companies for decades. She is a CRIMINAL, pure and simple. But I’d be quite surprised to see republicans summon up the GUTS necessary to try her after the first of the year. After all, they wouldn’t want to risk losing that perpetually ENORMOUS number of black votes next time around!!
To: sorrisi
They want the Republicans to handle it. Then they will call them racists.

Is that just wishful thinking on my part? Bawny's going to be a tougher nut to crack. I think his suck-up skills are a little better than Maxy's.(no pun intended, unless appropriate)
I merely suspect that hers are dismal, that maybe she's PO'd a lot of her fellow travelers.
But I really don't know.
Wishful thinking is what's keeping me going these days.

hmm...new material...could that new material be the conviction of Rangel? can’t have two black congressmen convicted by a Dem Congress back to back - what message would that send to their black constituents for goodness sakes? why, they’d call the Dems the R word. There’d be riots for crying out loud! So they’ll sit on Waters until a few other un-blacks are found to take the spotlight, and then get back to her, if she hasn’t retired by then, when the “racist” republicans are in power.

Do her working class constituents know that their tax dollars were used to finance a luxurious lifestyle for OneUnited bank chairman and CEO Kevin Cohee, including a Porsche and a mansion on the exclusive Pacific Coast Highway?LOL. Her constituents don't pay taxes. I'd be willing to bet serious cash, that if you looked at welfare vs. taxes paid in her district the balance would be extrarodinarily slanted towards payments made by the government.
