Maxine Waters, who has a terminal case of TDS, was ordered to pay $68,000 for receiving illegal donations to her 2020 campaign. She is no stranger to such problems, from allowing her daughter to receive over $1M in payments from her funds, for giving a bank help with ties to her husband, and a 2018 accusation of receiving illegal donations.
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) said “get Trump no matter what it takes” Mad Maxine Waters’ 2020 campaign committee, Citizens for Waters, ran afoul of several campaign finance laws in a tranche of documents released Friday.
The FEC accused Citizens for Waters of “failing to accurately report receipts and disbursements in calendar year 2020,” “knowingly accepting excessive contributions” and “making prohibited cash disbursements,” according to one document that appears to be a legally binding agreement that allows both parties to avoid going to court.
Mad Maxine Waters’ committee agreed to pay the civil fine as well as “send its treasurer to a Commission-sponsored training program for political committees within one year of the effective date of this Agreement.”
“Respondent shall submit evidence of the required registration and attendance at such event to the Commission,” the document said.
Citizens for Waters had accepted excessive campaign contributions from seven people totaling $19,000 in 2019 and 2020, the investigation found, despite the maximum legal individual contribution being capped at $2,800.
The committee offloaded those excessive donations, albeit in an “untimely” fashion, the document said.
Mad Maxine Waters’ campaign committee also “made four prohibited cash disbursements that were each in excess of $100, totaling $7,000,” the FEC said.
The campaign committee “contends that it retained legal counsel to provide advice and guidance to the treasurer and implemented procedures to ensure the disbursements comply with the requirements of the Act.”
Leilani Beaver, who was listed as Citizens for Waters’ attorney, sent the FEC a letter last year that maintained the campaign finance violations were “errors” that “were not willful or purposeful.
Mad Maxine Waters, the top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, has served in Congress since 1991.
It is not the first time, however, that Waters has generated public scrutiny. James Hartline

If she was a Republican, she would be expelled from Congress and be under an FBI investigation looking at prison. The two-tiered justice system is a joke. pic.twitter.com/cb7AqlrZ4G

Mad Maxine Waters has incited violence and harassment against Trump supporters and cabinet members since his first term. This $68K feels like a slap on the wrist. She belongs in jail.
