Congresswoman Maxine Waters recently tweeted an endorsement of impeachment proceedings, saying “Mueller kicked the impeachment ball to the Congress. The Constitution gives the responsibility to Congress to impeach an unfit president - "high crimes and misdemeanors." What more do we need?”

While some of her fellow Democrats were questioning the credibility of Attorney General William Barr over his handling of the Robert Mueller report, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., took that criticism to another level. The California Democrat trashed the attorney general Wednesday night on the eve of Special Counsel Mueller’s report being released to the public, calling Barr “a lackey and a sycophant” for President Trump. “I never expected Barr to do anything that would be respectful to the members of Congress or to include us in any real way,” she told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, joining colleagues fuming over the decision...

Rep. Maxine Waters is embracing corporate campaign contributions as the new chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee, even as some progressive Democrats have sworn off fundraising from businesses. **SNIP** Even industries that Waters has bashed were willing to make contributions to the new chairwoman. TransUnion's PAC gave $5,000 to her campaign on Feb. 15, two weeks before its CEO testified with other credit reporting executives at a Financial Services hearing intended to showcase their companies' shortcomings. Other corporate PACs that contributed to Waters' campaign included those operated by Amazon, NASDAQ and the Independent Community Bankers of America. Boeing and...

by Sheri Urban The House Banking Committee, led by (ahem) "distinguished" Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), called in the nation’s top bankers on Wednesday to arrogantly lecture them on greed and political correctness. During her questioning Mad Maxine asked the bankers about what they were doing with their own loan policies to help those suffering with massive student loan debt. Each of the bankers on the panel sat for a moment in stunned silence, and then -- trying to hide a smirk -- quickly reminded the Banking Committee Chairperson that they no longer make ANY student loans. As in...NONE....

Shortened title. Full title: SICK! Mad Maxine Waters Invites Trump Treasury Secretary in to Testify – Abuses Him, Threatens Him, Holds him for 3.5 Hours This is your Democrat Party at work— Thugs and tyrants. Mad Maxine Waters called in Trump Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin to testify on Tuesday. She knew he had prior commitments but held him in committee for three-and-a-half hours. Then she berated him, abused him and threatened him when he asked how long the sideshow would continue. This was a Democrat show-trial.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), the chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee, engaged in a fiery exchange Tuesday with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin over the length of his testimony before the committee. The exchange grew heated as Mnuchin requested to leave the hearing because of a meeting he said he had scheduled with a foreign leader. After Waters told Mnuchin that he was free to leave, Mnuchin asked her to dismiss the hearing, saying that she was supposed to "take the gavel and bang it.” “Please do not instruct me as to how I am to conduct this committee," Waters...

UPDATE: When searching for activity associated with the House of Representatives IP's used in the doxxing of Republican Senators, we find a posted comment from August 22, 2018 registered to Kathleen Sengstock, the Senior Legislative Assistant for Representative MAXINE WATERS.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is not quite running a tight ship. Despite the California congresswoman’s repeated calls for her colleagues to focus on legislation and move on from the fantasy of drafting articles of impeachment against President Trump, some in her caucus are just really committed to seeing him removed from office. Rep. Maxine Waters, D.-Calif., for example, promised supporters this week that she is very much devoted to pursuing impeachment. "So, some people say, ‘How dare her come out and say impeach him? She doesn't know enough about him to talk about impeaching him.' But now the American...

The 50th Annual NAACP Awards were handed out this weekend, and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-California) was honored with the Chairman’s Award. “Extra’s” Terri Seymour was with Waters backstage, where she talked about the honor and about Jussie Smollett. Maxine Waters: "It's the correct thing that the charges were dropped," said the 80-year-old Democratic Congresswoman from California in a Sunday interview with Extra at the NAACP Image Awards. "First of all, we probably will never know all of the details. We’ve heard a lot of information," said Waters. "No one was hurt — that is, physically, killed, shot — he never...

Congresswoman Maxine Waters called for President Donald Trump to be impeached at the NAACP Image Awards on Saturday night. During her acceptance speech of the Chairman's Award, Waters took aim at the commander-in-chief and Attorney General William Barr for 'holding' Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report about Russia's involvement during the 2016 election. '[I] haven't forgotten about 45. He's appointed an attorney general who thinks he can hold the Special Counsel's report from the American people,' she said, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 'I still think he needs to be impeached.'

**SNIP** Although the Image Awards recognize the contributions of artists, politics were never far from anyone’s mind as the 2020 presidential election ramps up. Representative Maxine Waters received loud rounds of applause every time her name was mentioned, and she was given a standing ovation when she took the stage to receive the NAACP Chairman’s Award. The chairwoman of the House Financial Services committee repeatedly told the audience that she “had the gavel and wasn’t afraid to use it!” Presidential contenders Senator Cory Booker and Senator Kamala Harris also made an appearance to speak about the importance of voting in...

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), who has been calling for President Donald Trump's impeachment since he took office in 2016, has admitted there is no longer any point in pursuing the 'pipe dream.'Waters, who became a leading Democrat in the anti-Trump "Resistance" in Congress, and famously said she had been 'sent by God to stop Trump,' frequently called for the president's impeachment before the conclusion of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., has toned down her calls for President Trump's impeachment since Special Counsel Robert Mueller concluded there was no collusion with Russia, admitting that forceful removal of the president has “never been discussed” as a realistic strategy among Democrats. Waters, whose calls for impeachment and support for the now-disproven Russia-collusion theory helped boost her national profile, made the striking admission Monday, despite saying just days earlier that the Mueller report didn’t signal “the end of anything.” “I think we do nothing now but concentrate on getting the information, getting that report,” Waters said, in reference to...

Rep. Maxine Waters showed no sign of slowing her calls to impeach President Trump after special counsel Robert Mueller’s report found no evidence of Russian collusion. “This president has a way of trying to get into people’s heads and indoctrinate them,” Ms. Waters, a Calfornia Democrat who chairs the House Financial Services Committee, told MSNBC’s Joy Reid on Sunday. “He’s been saying ‘no collusion, ‘no collusion,’ ‘no collusion’ over and over again for a long time now, and he’s going try to conclude that this report is proof that there is no collusion,” she said. “And you have a lot...

Republicans on the House Financial Services Committee are seeking to postpone consideration of marijuana banking legislation scheduled to be brought to vote next week by the panel’s Democratic chair, Rep. Maxine Waters of California. Ranking member Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina and Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer of Missouri wrote Ms. Waters on Thursday raising concerns about Congress potentially passing the Secure And Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act, a bipartisan proposal meant to protect banks that work with marijuana businesses in weed-friendly states. “The impact that many state laws, which have legalized marijuana, have on the federal laws governing the manufacturing,...

All of a sudden, its popular to be progressive. The unexpectedly competitive Democratic primary of 2016, pitting Hillary Clinton against Bernie Sanders, quickly became a battle of "progressives" versus "progressives who get things done." And in the Democrats search for identity following Clintons soul-crushing general election loss to Donald Trump, Democratic candidates at all levels throughout the 2018 election cycle wore the progressive badge, even if their definition of "progressive" was sometimes rather ambiguous. Now, theres a Democratic majority in Congress, and along with it a diverse class of new lawmakers proposing an agenda which is resolutely radical by the...

The scandal-plagued U.S. bank Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC) is "too big to manage," a top U.S. lawmaker told CEO Tim Sloan at a hearing Tuesday in Washington. Maxine Waters, a Democratic congresswoman who heads the U.S. House of Representatives' Financial Services Committee, said at the hearing that Wells Fargo is blighted by "ongoing lawlessness and failure to right the ship." Waters represents a district in southern California, where some of the San Francisco-based bank's alleged customer abuses first emerged. It was the first time Sloan has appeared before the House panel since Democrats took control of the chamber following...

On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” House Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters (D-CA) stated that President Trump isn’t acting in the country’s best interests and Americans should rely on Congress and not Special Counsel Robert Mueller to determine whether the president is undercutting the Constitution, acting in the country’s interests, or putting Americans in danger “because he may be compromised in the way that he’s dealing with other countries.” Waters said, “I believe in the Constitution, and the Constitution gives us the authority and the responsibility to decide whether or not a president is acting in the best...
