Maxine Waters: Time 'to get ready for impeachment'

BY LISA HAGEN - 02/24/18 08:32 PM EST

SAN DIEGO — 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 at the helm of the investigation into Russian interference in 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.”

We already know the Russians were all over that election. Doing what they do best; pitting groups against each other.

but when you see action after action that show a link between the GOP/Trump
and the Russians then you would have to be deliberately obtuse not to see
the connections.

examples

And Manafort (Russian agent) picked Pence to be V.P.

http://www.newsweek.com/mike-pence-was-handpicked-paul-manafort-696412

Russia is way deep into the Republican party.

Before Trump formally announced Pence as his vice presidential candidate, it was Manafort who made sure it happened, The New York Times reported last year.

Trump had hesitated to settle on Pence, who was governor of Indiana. Trump was fielding last-ditch appeals from New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and publicly said he had not made a “final, final decision” until advisers like Manafort reminded him of the importance of uniting the GOP around conservative Christian values.

CBS News reported that Pence was Manafort's "first choice" and that Manafort even lied about mechanical problems on Trump's plane to make the soon-to-be GOP nominee stay an extra day in Indiana to get to know Pence. In a phone call, Manafort assured Trump that Pence was the right choice and made a case that won over the real estate tycoon.

If Manafort was a spy, you cant impeach trump if he didnt know it.
But why did Manafort WANT Pence more than anyone else? I dont see a Russian connection with him anywhere yet. Unless ive missed it

Yes, you missed it.

BTW Trump said there were no meetings except:

Like Flynn and Kislyak or Sessions and Kislyak or Flynn and Putin or Eric Prince
with the Russians in the Seychelles or Ivanka and Wendy Dang or in the oval office with
Trump, Kislyak, and that other Russian or Carter Page and Russians or Papadopoulos
and "the Russian professor" who has now gone missing or Kushner and .....

Bringing out more trumpers to the polls to fight the evil liberals. As it stands now, they're not as motivated as they were in '16
All IMO of course

Unfortunately, a lot of people aren’t paying attention, or are being misinformed. For that reason, impeachment is not a good war cry for ‘18 yet.

And really, we don’t need it either. The me too and anti-gun violence movements are strong enough to push the blue wave in November. Their causus belli is self-evident, in that the GOP is the party of protecting abusers and the NRA.
