Maxine Waters: Congress Has ‘Responsibility’ to ‘Impeach Trump’ for ‘High Crimes’
breitbart.com ^ | 22 Aug 2018

Posted on 08/22/2018 6:45:09 PM PDT by Helicondelta

On a day when top Democrats like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tried to downplay any talk of impeaching President Donald Trump, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) declared that it is Congress’s “responsibility” to impeach Trump for “high crimes.” Pelosi has previously said that “any discussion of impeachment” would be a “gift to Republicans” and claimed on Wednesday that impeachment is “not a priority” for Democrats.

But after Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to various campaign finance violations on Tuesday, Waters could not restrain herself, tweeting about impeachment hours after Pelosi signaled to Democrats to downplay the issue.

“Cohen admitted Trump instructed him to break the law. If it’s a crime for Cohen, it’s a crime for Trump. Debates about whether you can indict a president do not excuse Congress from its responsibility to impeach Trump for ‘treason, bribery, or other high crimes & misdemeanors,’” Waters tweeted.

Has anyone heard one of these radical Dem politicians or the liberal news media state what Trump has done that equals anything that justifies impeachment?

An attorney paying off an accuser and having them sign a NDA, and then being reimbursed by his client is not a crime.

So - there is no requirement for a candidate to reside in the district they represent? For that matter - no requirement to register to vote in the district they live in? Shouldn’t this be investigated? Maybe a special prosecutor and complete staff?
