</html><description>Matt Stoller is a fellow at the Roosevelt Institute. &#xA0;You can follow him on twitter at&#xA0;http://www.twitter.com/matthewstoller  Last month, Yves highlighted an article on the coming fight between senior Democrat Maxine Waters and senior Democrat Carolyn Maloney over the top spot on the Financial Services Committee now that the bank-friendly Barney Frank is retiring. &#xA0;Maloney, of course, is the driving force behind several initiatives to deregulate Wall Street, including the JOBS Act (which Alexis Goldstein took down&#xA0;in Maloney's face&#xA0;on Up with Chris Hayes) and a bill to get rid of a significant derivatives regulation by redefining a transparent public swaps exchange as two guys talking on the phone. &#xA0;Maloney as ranking member of the Financial Services Committee would be a victory for the New Democrat caucus and its banking allies. &#xA0;Waters, of course, carries her own baggage. &#xA0;She is under an ethics cloud, which had dragged on for years inconclusively (but I suspect will wrap up without consequences). &#xA0;She is widely hated by the financial services community, and she supported problematic policies around Fannie and Freddie in the 1990s and early 2000s.</description></oembed>
