<p>The House Ethics Committee has finally charged Maxine Waters (D-CA) with corruption.  ;</p>
<p><strong>Here&rsquo;s what she did: ;</strong></p>
<p>In 2008, Maxine arranged a meeting between the Treasury Department and representatives of OneUnited bank &#8211; where her husband was a notable shareholder. ;</p>
<p>As a member of the House Financial Committee, she was able to directly contact then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to speak with him about meeting with minority-owned banks. Through her efforts, OneUnited bank was able to obtain $12 million in federal bailout funding to help cover ;expected losses from the collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  ; ;</p>
<p>If OneUnited had gone under, Maxine&rsquo;s husband could have lost as much as $350,000. Oh, and she ;hired her own grandson (Mikael Moore) to work as her chief of staff.</p>
<p>&ldquo;By contacting then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to request a meeting, allegedly for a group of minority-owned banks, but then arranging for only one bank &ndash; OneUnited, in which she had a financial interest &ndash; to attend, Rep. Waters violated House conflict of interest rules,&rdquo; argues Melanie Sloan, Executive Director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).</p>
<p><strong>These are the rules she broke:</strong> ;</p>
<p>&bull; A House rule requiring members to act in ways that reflect &ldquo;credibly&rdquo; on the chamber</p>
<p>&bull; A House rule prohibiting lawmakers from using their positions for financial gain</p>
<p>&bull; A government ethics statute banning the dispensing of &#8220;special favors&#8221;</p>
<p>In 2011, Maxine made it onto CREW&rsquo;s list of &ldquo;most corrupt&rdquo; politicians. Today, at age 78, she has emerged as one of the country&#8217;s leading critics of President Trump. ;</p>
<p>Dave Hodges of <em>The Common Sense Show</em> calls Maxine the &ldquo;poster child&#8221; for &#8220;the congressional group who vehemently opposes Donald Trump, refuses to work with him even though he&rsquo;s extended his hand across the aisle, even though he&rsquo;s a man that has set up apprentice programs in Maxine Waters&rsquo; district&hellip;this country is on a collision course with civil war because of people like Maxine Waters.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Author&#8217;s Note:</strong> Maxine has a long history of suspicious behavior. She is a crazy person who has been elected to the House 10 times. The media likes to cover her antics but has mostly avoided covering her corruption charges. This could actually be a move ;by Democrats to get rid of her. ;</p>
<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s note:</strong> If this were done by a Republican, it would be front page news in every mainstream media outlet.</p>
