SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), who has been a leading opponent of President Trump on Capitol Hill, told thousands of Democratic activists and officials “to get ready for impeachment.”
Speaking at the California Democratic Party’s annual convention in San Diego, Waters said that she believes special counsel Robert Mueller, who’s been helming the investigation into Russian interference into the 2016 election, is “getter closer” to figuring out who colluded with Russia.
"I say it is time to get ready for impeachment," Waters said to roaring applause. “I cannot wait and I’m counting on special counsel Mueller to connect the dots.”
“I believe he’s getting closer to discovering what Americans were and are involved in collusion with the Russians.”
Waters had called for Trump’s impeachment last month after reports surfaced that the president called several nations “shithole countries.”
The California congresswoman has been keeping the heat on Trump over Russia and slammed him for what she believes is his “attempt to derail the Russia investigation.
Mueller’s probe has had several recent developments that rocked the political world. He brought charges against 13 Russian nationals and three Russian groups for U.S. election interference. And former Trump campaign adviser Richard Gates pled guilty on Friday as part of a deal with the special counsel.
“It’s absolutely appalling to learn...your many allies are all connected to the oligarchs of Russia, the Kremlin and [Russian President Vladimir] Putin,” Waters said.
Waters ended her nearly 20-minute speech with several standing ovations and loud cheers with an “Impeach 45” chant.
I agree with her. It is time to take up some impeachments. Just not the one she is fantasizing about.
Is she admitting to something she should be impeached for?
Ha! As corrupt as the old bag is I can’t believe her constituents didn’t vote her out long ago.
this idiot is such a disgrace to my state..which says a lot since there are a lot of disgraces running this state..She accepted lots of money from the same Russians she is bashing..and tell me Maxine, how again did you afford such a BIG mansion in Hancock Park on YOUR salary..asking for a friend..she belongs in JAIL she is a corrupt BASTARD
I think she’s got a district whose residents are very challenged, with it comes to reasoned logic.
Some areas are just lost causes.
The Los Angeles city and county boards of supervisors wreak of malfeasance and anti-American mindsets.
It’s pretty much par for the course in our larger California cities.
Look at San Francisco.
Maxine...dead?
Well in Aug...she does roll over to 80...that is an age of getting close to the end...She needs to clean her act up and prepare, is my opinion..
I agree, you nailed it.
That has to be the reason, the majority of her voters are easily led and are anti-American.
Mueller would have to come up with something that would outrage Americans rather than some process crime crap. If the rats got the house majority and votedtk impeach on a process crime trap it would backfire on them big time.
YAWN...........
Are you sure? With the number of deep state loving RINOs in the Senate I would be be counting that 2/3 very carefully. You know if it gets that far every Dem will vote for conviction. Then after that it only takes about 1/3 of the remaining Republicans.
Waters, and we’re waiting for you to be prosecuted for sedition and treason.
So with the Senate in the GOP's hands no more than 50 Senators will be Rats.There's no way in hell that 17 GOPs will vote to convict.
Ol’ Scratch will be happy to take her just as she is
And McConnell hamstringing Trumps defense.
With Chief Justice John Roberts presiding
The Rats are defending ten states carried by DJT.The GOP is defending *one* that was carried by ILLary.
Joe Donnelly and other Dem Senators in red states are frantically trying to cut loose the Gun-Grabber anvil that the Lunatic Left has just tied to their ankles
Interesting point for sure.It also just occurred to me that everything I've read suggests that Rat Part Headquarters is just about broke while the GOP is swimming in cash.
“I cannot wait and I’m counting on special counsel Mueller to connect the dots.”
Whew! Talk about pressure! Mueller better get humping, Maxine is waitin’...
They’re just keeping their base fired up. Hopefully the horrific and terrifying things they are saying and doing (Scott Israel..) will keep our side fired up as well.
Can’t imagine what minority leader Pelosi’s 8 hour speech was like.
