So let me get this straight: Rep. Maxine Waters is fine with accusing Goldman Sachs of intruding on government decision-making, even though she has no evidence and does not appear to have more than a rudimentary understanding of the banking system. But she denies violating House rules by pushing Treasury Department officials to provide relief for a bank in which her husband has a financial stake. DealBreaker's Bess Levin thinks that any House Ethics trial should allow Waters to question Waters. They could put it on pay-per-view and actually make a few bucks.
