Maxine Waters Charged with Three Ethics Violations

[longknife]

Couldn't happen to a better person. Just a shame there aren't more - and criminal charges as well.

The first charge against Waters states she violated a House rule that members must "behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House." Waters should have instructed her chief of staff to stop assisting OneUnited once it became clear she should not be involved in helping the bank, but she failed to do so, the charges state.

Her staff's "continued involvement in assisting OneUnited created an appearance that [Waters] was taking official action for [Waters'] personal benefit, which did not reflect creditably on the House," the charges state.

Waters was also charged with violating the "spirit" of the House rule that prohibits a member from receiving compensation for exerting improper influence from her position in Congress. Waters' husband's investments in OneUnited constituted compensation, according to the charges.

The congresswoman was also charged with violating the Code of Ethics for Government Service.

Meanwhile , Trumps violates the immoluments clause on a daily basis .

Nowhere in the constitution does it say the president has to leave office in near poverty as happened to Harry Truman. George Washington died in near poverty because he neglected his plantation at Mount Vernon during his term as president.

Who said poverty? The idea is that the prez wouldn’t be subject to bribes .
