Rep. Maxine Waters Struggles To Explain Why Trump Should Be Impeached [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | January 16, 2017 | Christian Datoc

Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters had difficulty explaining why she thinks Donald Trump’s campaign attacks against Hillary Clinton are impeachable offenses while being interview by MSNBC’s Chris Matthews Monday night.

Waters, who will join Georgia Rep. John Lewis in boycotting Trump’s inauguration on Friday, first ran into difficulty when Matthews asked why some Democrats still view Trump as “illegitimate.”

"If there’s some sort of — as you call it — collusion,” the Hardball host noted. “Then what? Does that make Trump subject to impeachment? Just generally, tell me what you mean by the term.”

“Well here’s what I’m trying to get to,” Waters responded. “If we discover that Donald Trump or his advocates played a role to help provide strategy — if they’re the ones who came up with ‘Crooked Hillary,’ if they’re the ones who came up with, ‘she’s ill, something’s wrong with her energy,’ and the way that he basically described her during the campaign — I think that is something that would put the question squarely on the table whether or not he should be impeached.”

“So, you think you can commit an impeachable offense before you take office?” Matthews incredulously asked the California Democrat.

“Well, I think that at the point that investigations discover and confirm and can document any of that role in helping to strategize — they had a role in attempting to determine the outcome,” she answered regardless of the actual question. “That in many ways they used the information they got when they hacked into emails etc. — if that was used against Hillary Clinton in some way, yes I think that’s impeachable.”

At what point do you call someone and ask them to stop supporting you?

She’s an idiot. What she’s talking about is called political campaigning. I know Hillary can’t be impeached, but would Ms. Waters like to ask Lowrental Lunch to investigate the mean things Hillary said about Trump? No? Gee. Why not?

Maybe not. SHe don’t care about what you or I think, she only cares about what people back in her (crazy, racist) district think, and they think she’s sayin’ it just right.

These people pay no political price for this kind of garbage because they will ge re-elected until they die anyway.

Odungo can commit the whole laundry list of impeachable and just plain traitorous acts, and Ms. Brain Dead has nothing to say about it. Trump is not even yet in office, and Robo-Mouth is spouting off "Impeachment!" from between her slobbering lips.

What this woman flushes has a LOT more brains than what's taking up the space between her ears. I can barely process how STUPID this moron is, and marvel at the corresponding stupidity of those who keep voting her in. I'm gonna guess that they are black, and of the same intellectual firepower as those who kept voting in Charles Rangel, John Lewis, Kamala Harris, and other one trick phonies. Apparently, if the candidate is black and says the right "Oh, you poor victims" garbage, that's enough to win with them. Scary!

Why there should be term limits. You know when you think about it 200+ years later, term limits in Govt. is the only over sight the founding fathers missed.

A president can only be impeached for offenses committed while in office.

And except for the above, a sitting president is immune to prosecution of any other kind.
