Maxine Waters now on MSNBC arguing that if Clinton had been elected, she should have fired Comey, but that Trump shouldn't.— Karen Tumulty (@ktumulty) May 10, 2017
A few years ago, Waters
was charged by the House ethics committee for allegedly securing
bailout funds for a bank in which her husband owned stock. She received three counts of violating House rules in addition to the federal ethics code. These charges were linked to her moves to establish a meeting between OneUnited bank representatives and Treasury officials in 2008.
The committee stated that Waters’ moves to benefit OneUnited bank would
serve as personally beneficial to her own interests due to her
husband’s ownership of stock. The Congresswoman and her attorney filed a motion to have the charges dismissed, but unsurprisingly, the ethics panel denied it.
