Nancy Pelosi didn’t do a very good job of draining the swamp.
Yahoo/AP: [Rep. Maxine] Waters, 71, has been under investigation for a possible conflict of interest involving a bank that was seeking federal aid. Her husband owned stock in the bank and had served on its board.
New York Democrat Rep. Charles Rangel also faces an ethics trial this fall on charges that include failure to disclose assets and income, nonpayment of taxes and doing legislative favors for donors to a college center named after him.
Both Waters and Rangel are prominent members of the Congressional Black Caucus and the trials would be an embarrassment for the group. Dual ethics trials would also be a major political liability for Democrats, forcing them to defend their party’s ethical conduct while trying to hold on to their House majority.
While Rangel is a former chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, Waters is a prominent member of the House Financial Services Committee.
Waters came under scrutiny after former Treasury Department officials said she helped arrange a meeting between regulators and executives at Boston-based OneUnited Bank without mentioning her husband’s financial ties to the institution.
Waters isn’t ready to cut a deal with the ethics committee. I heard that Rangel may try the old “Everybody else is doing it” defense. That should be interesting.
I think old Nancy tried draining the swamp, but Barney Franks fat ass stopped up the drain, now it is just a putrid pool of stagnant scum.

It was never intended to drain the swamp. They just wanted to hide their own malfeasance. With the help of the MSM, they’ve been mostly successful.

That includes this gem from the comments section:
Racial tension? Please. The race card has been swiped one-too-many times. The scuffed-up magnetic strip is worn beyond recognition, and darned if that 16-digit number on the face is completely obscured.

And what the heck is with this “swamp” stuff? Shouldn’t it be “wetlands”?
