Maxine Waters attracts scrutiny for potential federal election law violation
Washington Examiner ^ | 10/08/18 | Diana Stancy Correll

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., is facing scrutiny from a conservative watchdog group for possibly violating fundraising rules in a slate mailer, with the group requesting that Waters’ campaign committee be audited as a result.

The Federal Election Commission received a complaint Monday from the National Legal and Policy Center claiming that Waters, her campaign, and a pro-charter school group called Families and Teachers for Antonio Villaraigosa violated federal election law. The complaint claims the group paid $25,000 for Villaraigosa to be featured in the Waters mailer when he was running for governor in the Democratic primary earlier this year.

Although candidates can pay a fee to be included in slate mailers, it’s illegal for outside groups such as Families and Teachers for Antonio Villaraigosa to make such a payment.

The media gives her a forum and she has a big black mouth. The corruption is so in your face these past couple of years for all of us to see, there is no hiding anymore. Its like yeah I did this and what are you gonna do about it, nothing! We need to get these criminals under investigation and prosecuted, this will probably be the only time that the tax payer would welcome using tax dollars to hang these bastards

At first, I thought you said pigs, and I thought, they probably do, as long as Mad Max doesn’t oink. 😊😁

She’s a Negro, female, insane, and a Dummycrat, so absolutely nothing will happen to her. Waste of time. We don’t have an attorney general, so . . . . waste of time.

Well that sure shut her up fast. Pretty sure her protest time has been taken up by “negotiation” with the BCC and house ethics committee.

“They” could get her any time they want to. Sadly, no one has the stones to do it. And, Aunt Maxine knows it.

Unfortunately, watchdog groups can’t prosecute and AG Rosenstein won’t do anything.

Of course. Leftists have no issue with breaking law. They believe law does not apply to them...only to their enemies.

Water’s husband needs to have a thorough audit of his lifetime of ‘banking’.

She has kryptonite democratic shielding and checks off several oppression checkboxes. She could publicly kill toddlers and eat them on live television and nobody will ever touch her.

Beagle8U, I have wondered often what would make someone almost spit out what they were drinking when reading something on this site. I think after years of lurking (under another name which I’ve forgotten) and now under this name, I finally read a statement that came at me out of the blue. NEVER would I have thought of such a statement! And as bad as it reads, it was funny. A sick kind of funny, however, funny!
