Maxine Waters Calls For Impeachment If Trump Campaign Colluded With Russia
Breitbart ^ | January 16, 2017 | Pam Key

Posted on 01/17/2017 7:05:23 AM PST by COUNTrecount

Monday on MSNBC’s “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 that’s what he was trying to describe. Other people are trying to talk about this democracy and whether or not once you question whether someone’s legitimate that you are questioning whether or not the democracy works. People, you know, don’t want it to be that you’re deciding that somehow the electoral system doesn’t work, the democracy doesn’t work, et cetera. He’s 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 didn’t get elected. So I think that’s a legitimate discussion.

MATTHEWS: Let’s 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.


It’s hard to decide who is the dumbest, there are so many stupid Democrats to choose from: Maxine Waters, Sheila Dumb@ss Jackson Lee, John Lewis, Barbara Boxer (thankfully now gone but her successor is just as bad), Fauxahontas, etc.

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?

I don't see why the Russians would have preferred Trump

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?

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.

I am surprised that no polling outfit has yet done (or published) a poll in each major swing state that asks actual voters the following: "Did the revelations by Wikileaks or the John Podesta email leaks, cause you to vote for Trump?"

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.”

As the Big Zero said elections have consequences. I want people like Waters politically destroyed to the point that her constituency understand that for their economic survival they need to voter her out of office.

And I am 100% certain that if Hillary won she would be just as concerned about Russian hacking.

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.
