"House trial linked to OneUnited postponed" by Beth Healy and Donovan Slack, Globe Staff / November 20, 2010
The House ethics committee yesterday said new evidence prompted it to postpone the trial of Representative Maxine Waters, who is facing charges that she improperly helped Boston-based OneUnited Bank seek federal bailout funds in 2008 while her husband was a stockholder of the bank....
It doesn't matter what color or gender they come. Scratch a politician and they all bleed scum.
According to the Associated Press, the material was an e-mail between Waters’s chief of staff and grandson, Mikael Moore, and staff of the House Financial Services Committee. AP reported it had obtained a copy of the e-mail, which indicated Waters remained involved in the drafting of Congress’s bank bailout even after she had made others aware she had a potential conflict of interest with OneUnited.
OneUnited received $12 million in bailout funds in December 2008, after the bailout bill was passed....
According to the Investigative Subcommittee’s June report, OneUnited chief executive Kevin Cohee, as well as the bank’s top lawyer, Robert Cooper, contacted Waters in September 2008, after the bank had lost $50 million on investments in the mortgage agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac when they were taken over by the US government. Waters allegedly called then-Treasury chief Henry Paulson and arranged a meeting.
Guess who got stuck with the bills, taxpayers.
Then the banks foreclosed to seize properties anyway.
Waters maintains she was looking to help an association of minority banks, of which Cooper was chairman-elect. But at the Treasury meeting, the OneUnited executives asked for a bailout for their own bank, according to the ethics report....
The delay of Waters’s hearing came one day after the House ethics committee voted to censure Representative Charles B. Rangel of New York for 11 violations, including failing to pay taxes on rental income from a villa he owns.
I hope the wrist slap didn't hurt.

Not that one group should be held to a higher standard; however, it was hoped that those that were on the bottom for so long would have been a bit more honorable and decent.
How naive was I.
