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 Partys annual convention in San Diego, Waters said that she believes special counsel Robert Mueller, whos 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 Im counting on special counsel Mueller to connect the dots.
I believe hes getting closer to discovering what Americans were and are involved in collusion with the Russians.
Waters had called for Trumps 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.
Muellers 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.
Its 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.
The crazy lady down the street.
I wonder if Maxine is confusing ‘impeachment’ with ‘re-election’?
I disagree.
I can think of only ONE democrat Senator who “might” not vote “Impeach + Guilty” (Manchin, WV), and I KNOW of six-twelve self-called “republican” Senators (McCain, Flake, Graham, Thune, Corker, Collins, Snowe, etc....) who either WOULD vote “Impeach + Guilty” or who would likely succumb to their media pressure to vote guilty.
67 Senators failing to think, and voting to appease the national press corpse? I know of who only 4-5 Senators who DO “think” and not vote the media's (er, democrat party) emotional propaganda.
After, who would "dare " to "not be partisan" and "prove they are rational and intelligent" by "crossing the aisle" to vote to impeach an "illegitimate, sexist, bigoted president" who is supported by the NRA and white supremacists" and " the far right nationalists"?
McCain will not be voting.
Rated R for Retarded.
Not gonna happen now.
That window closed in December.
So, you seriously think there is a possibility to find 287 or so votes in Congress to impeach and 66 in the Senate to remove?
Gimme a break.
The probability doesn’t warrant doing the math...
