Near the end of March, we reported that longtime Democrat leader Alcee Hastings (D-FL) had become embroiled in a corruption scandal that saw him paying his girlfriend over $2.5 Million over the last 20 years. Hastings’ girlfriend was his highest paid employee, even though she was not among his closest or most important staff members. Now, news is breaking that another popular Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) has been discovered in a similarly troubling ethical conundrum. The Washington Free Beacon is reporting that Karen Waters has been paid over $600K by her mother since 2006: The daughter of Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) was paid nearly $70,000 by her mother’s campaign during the 2016 election cycle. Karen Waters has been on the payroll of her mother’s campaign committee, Citizens for Waters, since 2006. She has pulled in more than $600,000 for her services since that time… Karen pulled in $65,287 overseeing the slate mailer operation in 2016, making her the third-largest recipient of Waters campaign funds that cycle. Karen, together with her firm Progressive Connections, has received over $600,000 in payments from the Waters campaign since 2006. This isn’t the first time that Waters has gotten herself into ethical hot water, in fact, it’s happened several different times over the almost 30 years she’s been in Congress. In 2010, Waters was brought up on three separate charges by her colleagues in the House, even after Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) warned her against getting involved in advocating for a bank in which she had financial interest. The panel said Waters, who sits on the Financial Services Committee, broke a House rule requiring members to behave in a way that reflects “creditably” on the chamber. The committee said that by trying to assist OneUnited, she stood to benefit directly, because her husband owned a sizable amount of stock that would have been “worthless” if the bank failed. The committee also accused Waters of violating the “spirit” of a House rule prohibiting lawmakers from using their positions for financial gain, as well as a government ethics statute banning the dispensing of “special favors.” She also been tabbed by various government watchdogs as “one of the most corrupt” politicians in Congress. (See here and here.) The point is, no one should be surprised by Waters’ current difficulties because it is simply more of the same from someone who always seems to find herself in ethically questionable situations. .

Ummmmmmm......
Hands down !!!! She should be in the movies, horror movies. She could be the star in a remake of " The Thing " As to her ethics problems. She is a Demonrat , so it means nothing ! Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. Never Pick A Fight With An Old Man He Will Just Shoot You He Can't Afford To Get Hurt I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur

Not his first one,either. He used to be a federal judge in Florida,and then the FBI caught him taking bribes to throw cases. He didn't go to prison for that like anyone who was white would have,but he was thrown off the bench for corruption. He then ran for Congress in a almost all black District in Florida and has been a congresscritter ever since. If FACT,he is now a VERY important congresscritter who gets briefed on classified us operations and plans. And why not,right? After all,he probably learned his lesson from the slap on the wrist he got by being booted off the bench,and would never dream of betraying public trust again,right? BTW,his bio says he likes to be called "Judge" and brags about him spending 10 years as a federal judge. HEY! If you can't trust a impeached judge to safeguard national strategic secrets,who CAN you trust,right? In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Oops! Forgot about this witch.
Liberals are a lot like Slinkys, they're good for nothing but they bring a smile to your face as you shove them down the stairs.
Wonder what her parents looked like.
