First it was New York Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-How Many Rent-Stabilized Apartments Do You Have?). Now it’s California Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-Can You Help My Husband Out?) in front of a House ethics committee.

From a Saturday New York Times report:

A House ethics subcommittee has charged Ms. Waters, 71, a 10-term congresswoman, in a case involving communications that she had with the top executive of a bank that her husband owned stock in while it was applying for a federal bailout in 2008

Here’s the Boston connection:

Ms. Waters, at the time the investigation by the House ethics panel began last fall, was accused of intervening on behalf of OneUnited, a Boston-based [black-owned] bank. The Times reported last year that Ms. Waters called Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. in 2008, as the economy was in a free fall, to ask him to host a special meeting with executives from black-owned banks.

Just doing the Mister a solid.

But rough Waters ahead.
