Representative Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) has 600,000 ethical questions that seem to point toward corruption. The Honorable Waters is no stranger to ethics complaints, this making the 3rd in her years in office. This time it is her daughter’s employment for over half a million dollars that is bringing the questions. Nepotism exists in politics as in all facets of life, but the Congress has certain rules on appearance of propriety that need to be adhered to. I think she may have missed this briefing.

As Written By Onan Coca for the Constitution:

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…..
