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.”

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

"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.”

These idiots talk impeachment before Trump even is in office/has taken the oath. Obama robbed us blind, lived more extravagantly that any king in history, sold America down the drain, and; these losers think free crap paid by us is just great. Throw the freeloaders plus every non assimilator out our country.

Anyone who attempts to listen to this woman needs to have extra IQ points they don’t need. This woman is so stupid it leeches IQ from those around her.

You can add Lois Lerner and Koskenin to you’re list along with SO many others. They all needed impeachment followed by trials and prison sentences.

I know that,and how on earth the guy interviewing him kept a straight face is beyond me.

Interviewed? Hank Johnson made his 'capsize' statement at a congressional committee hearing, which must have made at least half of those in attendance jaws hit the floor. The man doesn't seem to even have the sense or education of a 3rd grader.

Hank Johnson actually thought he was making a very astute, intelligent point. I wish everyone in America would view that and see first hand the kind of stupid idiots that democrats elect to represent them.

Are there any CA congresscritters possessing above average IQ?

Yes, it is a self answering question.

It's hard work to be that stupid, and she's been working at it for years. That level of stupid can't occur naturally!

Maxine is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. She’s never met Mr. Integrity nor Ms. Morals.

This is the idiot who threaten the oil companies with nationalization in a house hearing on gas prices because she thought they were colluding to keep gas prices high.

This woman is ten rungs short of climbing a nine rung ladder.

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

And since he does not yet hold an office, as a civilian he cannot be impeached for ANYTHING!! Waters should be impeached for being illegally ignorant.
