Maxine Waters Says America Is Demanding Impeachment: 'We're Going To Have To Do It'

Maxine Waters Says America Is Demanding Impeachment: ‘We’re Going To Have To Do It’


Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters, the chair of the powerful House Financial Services Committee, said on Tuesday that the American people are demanding Donald Trump be impeached.

In an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, the Democratic congresswoman said it will soon become difficult for the leadership of her party to not move forward on impeachment.

Rep. Waters said that the American people are “going to push on the Congress to do the impeachment. ”

The Democratic congresswoman added, “Ninety percent of all the calls that I’m getting, people see me on the street and they are talking about impeachment.”



Rep. Waters said:
I know that as leaders they have the responsibility to try and hold our caucus together and to try and do and lead in the best way that they think will help us to be successful. They are going to try and do everything that they can. If they believe that now is not the time for impeachment, they will keep trying and they’ll go down that road. The American people, in the final analysis, is going to push on the Congress to do the impeachment. My calls are overwhelming, in my office, about impeachment. I have so many calls, 90% of all the calls that I’m getting, people see me on the street and they are talking about impeachment. ‘When are you going to impeach?’ I think, as the level of interest and the level of not putting up with this president any longer comes to the forefront and lays on and leans on and pressures the Congress of the United States, we are going to have to do it. We are going to have to impeach. I just wish it was sooner than later.

I dare them to tell Maxine to stop being so emotional and to relax and take a deep breath and for godsakes don't impeach!

as it would give him alot of free PR which he would exploit.
Besides even if the Senate fails to convict him and remove him from office we can use ever single nay vote against the Repugnants as it will make it clear that they are the party of corruption.

I also don’t want him to receive a political boost from sympathy. I don’t want the Dems to have nothing to run on except anti Trump.
I want him to get what’s coming to him, but maybe the worst way to hurt him is to be disgraced and unwanted and go down to a glorious defeat, either during a primary or a general election. I
I want the next president to be a Democrat!

Could they just investigate and uncover more and more dirt to damage him good and let him suffer the slings and arrows of being forgotten by history?

I think Pelosi has a plan and is not showing her cards yet.

so we shouldn't do it, I have posted that it should not matter what the people want in this regards. If there is evidence he committed a crime he should be impeached. It is the same if the majority of people want to see him impeached. It does not matter what they want. He should be impeached if there is evidence he committed a crime and he should not be impeached if there is not enough evidence he committed a crime. This should be about the law and only about the law.
