‘Mad Maxine’ bashes Trump during another unhinged outburst
In yet another unhinged outburst, Maxine Waters has slammed the president, demanding that Congress exercises its “responsibility” to “impeach Trump” for “high crimes.”
“Mad” Maxine’s outburst came on the same day that top Democrats attempted to downplay any discussion about impeaching President Trump.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) previously stated that “any discussion of impeachment” would be considered a “gift to Republicans,” claiming on Wednesday that impeachment is “not a priority” for Democrats.
It appears as though Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) didn’t get that memo though as she continues on with her own brand of anti-trump rhetoric.
Breitbart reports: After Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to various campaign finance violations on Tuesday, Waters could not restrain herself…
She tweeted about impeachment just hours after Pelosi signaled to Democrats to downplay the issue.
“Cohen admitted Trump instructed him to break the law.
“If it’s a crime for Cohen, it’s a crime for Trump.
“Debates about whether you can indict a president do not excuse Congress from its responsibility to impeach Trump for ‘treason, bribery, or other high crimes & misdemeanors,’” Waters tweeted.
“The high crimes are giving aid and classified information to our enemies (Russia), abusing the pardon, breaking campaign finance laws, working w/ Russians to get ‘dirt’ on political opponents, and coming soon from Special Counsel Mueller, obstruction of justice.”

Cohen said he would take a bullet for Trump. I guess he never said anything about jail time!

Waters, who has insisted that impeaching Trump should be the party’s most important priority, has previously said that while she respects Pelosi’s desire to focus more on “public policy,” she would continue to push for impeachment, saying she is with the 70 percent of Democrats who want Trump impeached.
Top Democrats have tiptoed around impeachment questions this week, fearful that nationalizing the midterm elections around Trump’s potential impeachment could backfire on Democrats and block the so-called blue wave from materializing.
