Maxine Waters: Trump Should Be Charged With Obstruction Of Justice
Townhall.com ^ | May 12, 2017 | Matt Vespa

Posted on 05/12/2017 1:18:37 PM PDT by Kaslin

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) just loves this. She’s back, folks. After calling the president a “disgusting, poor excuse for a man,” saying Trump had no business being president, and that she would fight for his impeachment every day, Waters has been having a field day post-Comey firing. Keep in mind, she has said that it would have been fine for Hillary Clinton to fire the FBI director, but not Trump. So, she’s upset that Mr. Comey was fired after saying he’s lost all credibility, but also outraged that Trump fired him. She’s probably the most explicit example of Democratic hypocrisy on this matter. Now, she feels that the president has committed obstruction of justice with Mr. Comey’s dismissal, an impeachable offense (NTK Network):

Maxine Watters This President Needs To Be Impeached

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) yet again called for President Trump to be impeached during an interview on MSNBC, Thursday night.

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes started the interview by asking Waters if she agreed with President Trump’s statement that former FBI Director James Comey was a showboat and a grandstander.

“As you know, I did say that he had no credibility, and I still say coming out of that classified briefing, that I had come to the conclusion he didn’t have credibility,” Waters told Hayes.

Waters went on to tell Hayes that the comparison between what Democrats previously said and what they are saying now regarding Comey isn’t hypocritical because President Trump fired Comey, while the former FBI Director was investigating the Trump campaign.

Hayes followed up by asking Waters what she would being doing right now if she was Speaker of House.

“Well absolutely, I think [Trump] can be looked at and perhaps even charged with obstruction of justice,” Waters told Hayes.

Hayes asked Waters if she meant impeachment proceedings.

“You know, I’ve said all along that he would lead us to impeachment, and he’s doing just that. Everyday, more and more is unfolding,” Waters told Hayes.

Oh, and let’s not forget that Ms. Waters said that outgoing Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) might have Russian ties on Hayes’ show without even mentioning a shred of evidence. So, it’s just a friendly reminder that she’s tossed out tin foil hat insanity before. All the more reason why we need to make her the face of the Democratic Party.

The left is perpetrating a criminal conspiracy.

What I hear Maxine Waters saying is, “Please bring several million gun-toting, freedom-loving, Trump supporters to Washington, storm Congress, and take out the trash... add my name to your list of trash... and Trump must extend blanket pardons to such a mob in order to return the rule of law.”

We put up with 8 years of lawless, unconstitutional tyranny from Obama. He illegally armed drug dealers who used those guns to kill border patrol agents. He and Hillary teamed up to arm Muslim radicals, including ISIS, in the Middle East. They murdered and tortured Christians in Egypt, Iraq, and Syria.

This is not to mention the crimes against humanity (abortion and selling baby body parts), and crimes against nature (homosexual marriage) that the left has imposed on free society.

Waters, Obama, and the Clintons ought to be chopped up, fed to pigs, and have the pigs and their feces air dropped, along with a large bomb, on Mecca—the breeding place of Islamic terrorism.

The inmates have been running the asylum long enough. Sane people are fed up and they’re about to put an end to it.

At first, I thought that one of my cats had sprayed a blast of diarrhea on my computer monitor.

Then, I realized that it was a picture of the seditious moroness from Caliwhackistan.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said that she would have supported Hillary Clinton if she decided to fire James Comey but did not support President Trump’s decision. Waters’ reasoning made little sense to MSNBC’s Peter Alexander, who had to ask Waters for clarification multiple times during an interview on MSNBC.

MSNBC played a clip from earlier this year when Waters said FBI Director Comey “has no credibility” following a closed-door session with him.

MSNBC’s Peter Alexander asked Waters if she supports President Trump’s decision to fire Comey, given that Waters had previously said she has no faith in Comey.

“No, I do not necessarily support the president’s decision,” Waters told Alexander, citing President Trump’s praise for how Comey handled the investigation into Clinton’s emails.

“But congresswoman, I understand in the past he was praising him, but if you said that FBI Director James Comey had no credibility, wouldn’t you support the fact that the president … made the decision to get rid of him?” Alexander asked Waters.

Waters told Alexander that is not the case, because FBI Director Comey was investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, which Waters believes will lead to Trump’s impeachment.

Alexander followed up by asking Waters if she thinks it would have been better to leave in place the FBI director, who Waters had previously said had no credibility, to conduct such an investigation.

Waters dodged the question, redirecting the conversation to how President Trump had said earlier he had confidence in Comey.

“But you said [Comey] had no credibility, so it would make sense that [Trump] get rid of him,” Alexander pressed Waters.

“No,” Waters responded, telling Alexander that President Trump’s firing of Comey amounted to interference in an ongoing investigation.

Alexander then asked Waters if she thinks an FBI director with credibility would have been in a better position to pursue this investigation into Trump’s campaign.

“I think if the president had fired him when he first came in, he would not have to be in a position now where he is trying to make up a story about why. It does not meet the smell test,” Waters told Alexander.

Alexander then asked Waters if she would have recommended that Hillary Clinton fire James Comey, had Clinton won the election.

“Well, let me tell you something. If [Clinton] had won the White House, I believe that given what [Comey] did to her, and what he tried to do, she should have fired him. Yes,” Waters responded forcefully.

“So [Clinton] should have fired [Comey], but [Trump] shouldn’t have fired [Comey]?” Alexander asked Waters. “This is why I’m confused.”

“You’re not confused,” Waters responded.

Alexander said that he is confused, before Waters proceeded to give another confusing answer.

Our family dog that died and was buried 3 decades ago, has a higher IQ as a dead dog, than Maxine does as a living PC example.

Cannot help it, she has the zaklies disease, you know, when asking her doctor why she could not get any dates her doc told her she had the Zaklies. She asked is that bad. He said why yes it is but it is not fatal. She pestered for a definition of the disease and the doc said well, I detect an extreme case of the Zaklies: it is when your butt looks like your face.

Maxine was the subject of an ethics probe for her role in enriching herself through bank legislation, but it just sort of evaporated like so many other scandals.

It’s too bad members of Congress don’t have to prove they have an IQ of at least 80 before being allowed to take office. I wish she’d go back to rambling incoherently about Russia’s invasion of “Korea” instead of constantly attacking our president with imbecilic nonsense.

“You know, I’ve said all along that he would lead us to impeachment, and he’s doing just that. Everyday, more and more is unfolding,” Waters told Hayes.

So he fired a guy you wanted fired. Now he is leading you to impeachment. Wut?

See: “Corrine Brown convicted on 18 of 22 federal embezzlement charges for a charity”.

Sistah Corrine and Waters are quite close— or were. Corrine’s up for sentencing— and maybe she will spill on Maxi baby. Maxi is a far bigger crook, esp the bank shenanigans with her husband’s bank.

This is why she is howling, and running like mad. All the marbles, game changing cleaning of the Augean stables.
