Watch her interrogate Jerome Powell
By Bob Unruh
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., has engaged in rhetoric for many years that often is out of bounds.
Get in their faces, she told supporters years ago about Republican members of the White House then. Make sure they are unwelcome in public places like restaurants and grocery stores. In other words, she was inciting confrontations that could be violent.
She hasn’t changed much over the years since.
But now her words have taken on a new tone, one of extreme concern.
About what could be corruption.
In fact, she’s put into words the worst nightmare for America’s Left.
And it all comes because of President Donald Trump, his Department of Government Efficiency, and his campaign pledge, now actually being pursued by the White House and many federal agencies, to clean up the government, rid it of corruption, fraud and waste, and more.
Her concern, “We don’t know what all they have on us.”

Social media responses included “Maxine seem a little worried here.”
And, “I bet she’s concerned about her bank accounts being discovered.”
And, “She’s awfully worried.”
The Gateway Pundit said the situation was Waters saying “the quiet part out loud.”
Her comment came during a House Financial Services Committee hearing. She was questioning Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
The committee meeting was shortly after Elon Musk, heading the Department of Government Efficiency, announced the government would be looking into very rich “public servants.”
“We do find it sort of rather odd that there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who have essentially a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars but somehow manage to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are in that position. We’re just curious as to where it came from. Whether they have very good investing in which that case we should take their investment advice perhaps. They seem to be mysteriously getting wealthy, and we don’t know why – where did it come from? I think the reality is that they are getting wealthier at the taxpayer’s expense,” he suggested.
Waters actually isn’t ranked among the wealthiest in Congress, but her worth still has been estimated to be in the range of millions, with bank accounts and real estate holdings.
