Maxine Waters: ‘We Are Fiddling While Rome Is Burning’ — Trump ‘Needs To Be Impeached’
Breitbart ^ | 5-12-2017 | Pam Key

Posted on 05/12/2017 10:07:11 AM PDT by blam

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” in response to President Donald Trump firing FBI Director James Comey, Rep. Maxine Waters declared we were “fiddling while Rome is burning” and that Trump needed to be impeached.

Waters said, “The circumstances are such that he’s in the middle of an investigation, and he gets fired. And it appears that this president has admitted that he interfered with the investigation by asking him if, in fact, he was under investigation. So I don’t think that’s hypocritical at all. The hypocrisy lies with this president. This man lies every day. He changes his story. He does not even realize that most people don’t believe him anymore.”

Maxine, go ahead and file articles of impeachment and shut the hell up. Nothing’s stopping you.

So, Maxine, you are in the House, file the impeachment papers. Why are you waiting for someone else to do it?

Dennis Kucinich filed impeachment bills more than once when the dems started chanting Impeach Bush! And funny, they never put their money where their mouth was and voted on any of them!

Go Maxine! YOU have the power to start his!

I impeached a bowl of ice cream last night with some home made preserves.

It was soo good, I’m thinking about hitting the grocery store later today to get some fresh peaches to impeach myself with a late night snack tonight.

Waters: “And it appears that this president has admitted that he interfered with the investigation by asking him if, in fact, he was under investigation.”

But here is the exact quote of Trump’s query to Comey (via the NBC Trump interview):

“I said, ‘if it’s possible, would you let me know, am I under investigation?’

“IF IT’S POSSIBLE ...”

Comey could have said no. But he didn’t. Should he have? I have no idea. But the fact that Trump posed the question in that manner is certainly not being noted by the MSM. No surprise there.

Or will it be what ‘planet’?

Interesting that her district was ground zero for the 1992 LA riots, and she’s talking about ‘Rome burning’.

"I hope everyone realizes that the Democrats have 193 votes in the House to indict, and 48 votes in the Senate to remove. I hope everyone also realizes that, with the flimsiest of excuses built on steaming pile of fake news, that the 25 GOP House votes needed to indict and the 19 GOP Senators needed to remove would be easily found."

You do realize that the Capitol will burn if Trump is impeached. Trump's support is still as strong, maybe stronger, than when he won the presidency.

What you're seeing is the media blowing smoke...people have wisened up and don't listen to it anymore.

Let's take a little trip down memory lane. Here is a quote from an article describing why Waters was charged by the House Ethics Committee with ethics violations:

As Rep. Maxine Waters was warned against interceding on behalf of a bank with ties to her husband, her chief of staff, who is also her grandson, was "actively involved" in working to help the institution, according to a House Ethics Committee report released Monday that accuses the longtime Los Angeles political figure of three ethics violations.
