Whatever Happened to Maxine Waters and the OneUnited Bank Scandal? (ethics, accuse)

[Wapasha]

Are we sweeping this under the rug? Or are republicans playing the waiting game, until the 2012 elections get closer?

To recap:

She is facing charges from the House ethics committee that she intervened on behalf of OneUnited Bank at the height of the recession, after it lost $50 million on an investment it held in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the federal housing finance agencies. The panel has accused her of of helping to steer bailout money to a bank in which her husband, Sidney Williams, owned shares.

Summer of Corruption: Maxine Waters Update: House Ethics panel releases charges

Maybe I missed this, and she has already been found guilty and punished.

I hope whomever is in charge of the ethics panel will hold out until Summer 2012, and then drop the bombshell on all the Democratic House ethics violators....who to my knowledge happen to all be black.....in order to tarnish Democrats even further.

It wouldn't surprise me if this is the plan. If so, I believe it's a noble plan indeed.

This is what I tend to believe. Then again, its a big club, and maybe they all want to let her slide; I mean, how else can the rest of them get rich if they can't use the power of their office in a dishonest and self serving manner?
