Maxine Waters hit with FEC complaint over mailer money

[FakeNews]

Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters, one of the most outspoken members of the anti-Trump ‘resistance’ in Congress, is facing fresh questions about a longstanding controversy regarding how her campaign raises money and how those funds have flowed to her daughter.

The first complaint alleges Waters broke federal campaign finance law, and also names the California Democratic State Central Committee and Sen. Kamala Harris, a likely 2020 Democratic presidential contender.

However, the FEC complaint filed on July 25 states that the California Democratic party paid $35,000 to the Waters campaign in 2016 to include the endorsement of Harris’ Senate candidacy on the mailer. The FEC complaint, which cited an October campaign finance report, contends a third party is not legally allowed to pay for the mailer of a candidate without a reimbursement under the 2004 FEC advisory opinion.

That's not a crime for the members of the DC elite.

She probably has more ethics complaints on the books than any other sitting member of Congress.

She probably has more ethics complaints on the books than any other sitting member of Congress.

Certainly possible, but since, as of the 2nd quarter, there have been 23 ethics complaints for the 115th congress, it's just as likely she hasn't.
