Monday on MSNBCs Hardball, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said if President-elect Donald Trump or staff on his campaign had collusion or exchanges of information, with Russian government officials about former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, that would justify impeachment.
Partial transcript as follows:
WATERS: When John talked about him being ill legitimate, he talked about the fact about whether or not the Russians did play a role in determining what happened in our elections and also I think John was talking about there are going to be more investigations to determine whether or not Trump or his advocates people associated with him on his staff on the campaign, whether or not there was some collusion, exchanges of information, and whether of not they were strategizing together and I think thats what he was trying to describe. Other people are trying to talk about this democracy and whether or not once you question whether someones legitimate that you are questioning whether or not the democracy works. People, you know, dont want it to be that youre deciding that somehow the electoral system doesnt work, the democracy doesnt work, et cetera. Hes talking about this unusual occurrence where in fact we know that the Russians played an important role and they tried to support Mr. Trump and they tried to make sure that Hillary Clinton didnt get elected. So I think thats a legitimate discussion.
MATTHEWS: Lets talk about where that leads to. You raised a good point. If we find out that somebody on behalf of Donald Trump was on the phone or email relations with somebody in Russia or the ambassador from Russia and there was some sort of, as you call it, collusion, then what? Does that make Trump subject to impeachment?

Dumbest person in history? Top 10 anyway.
Hey, Maxine, you dummy! No one has accused Trump of that! Yet.
Maybe Maxine is worried that her black constituents will start listening to the truth for a change and kick her black caboose to the curb?
Yo Laz.....she has lots of competition from the CBC!
Because the Russians don't want to play chess against a psychopath who makes random moves and then threatens nuclear war when they move a pawn into an open space.
It’s unDemocratic for Americans to have the truth reported. Shouldn’t they really be mad at Wikileaks?
What a despicable & vile human being.
Why would Putin prefer Trump who is a strong pro-American leader and outspoken in his determination to put “America First”??
Shrillary is a weak figure, easy to bribe and unwilling to put America first. She would be better for Russia’s interests.
Plain and simple, lets answer this question once and for all. Although I can imagine the democrats would freep that vote by saying yes...
I am sick to death of hearing about the “Russian influence” that no one can quantify... what about the influence that Soros had that is demonstrably a fact??? Anyone hear a peep about that?? Nope... and you won’t either, but the man spent millions of dollars hiring protesters and other rent-a-thugs to interfere in our electoral process.
“Dear Vlad,
I need your help in winning the election so please hack the DNC’s email system, you know they don’t take security very seriously. And be sure to reply to me only IN CURSIVE so that dumb bitch from California isn’t able to figure out what we’re saying!”.
Your comrade, Donald.”
Ugly as a mud fence.
Does that mean that we can impeach John Kerry?
"Illegitimate" is one word, Maxine.
Bernie Sanders was railroaded. Crickets...........
And I am 100% certain that if Hillary won she would be just as concerned about Russian hacking.
Maxine Waters is known for her constitutional scholarship.
This crap is going to go on his whole term “He isn’t wearing his tie properly, impeach him!” The good thing is Trump won’t put up with any of this BS and will put them on the spot.
