| Waters' Chief of Staff Named In Ethics Charges |
| 2010-08-10 |
| House ethics investigators today unveiled three formal charges against Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) alleging that her chief of staff played a central role in her office's efforts to help a minority-owned bank. In a ten page document detailing the charges against Waters, ethics investigators allege that the chief of staff exchanged numerous emails and phone calls with officials from the bank. At issue is whether Waters violated congressional ethics rules by prodding the Treasury Department in October 2008 to give $12 million in government bailout funds to OneUnited Bank, in which her husband owned stock. |

| #4 No gallows, use the guillotine instead. That strikes more fear than hanging. |

| #3 She and all the rest of the corruptocrats need to hang from gallows built in front of the Congressional building on the Mall, for all to see. The only way we're going to have and ethical government is for the punishment for criminal behavior to be swift, painful, and permanent. There are about 30 other Dummycritters and some half-dozen Rethuglycons that need to hang alongside her. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid need to be in the very front and center. |
