Maxine Waters Goes Completely Mad, Says Failure to Impeach Trump Will ‘Imperil the Nation’

It’s been over 48 hours since the Mueller report has been released, and I haven’t checked on Auntie Maxine. What is WRONG with me– right? This is prime material time!

As you know, Attorney General William Barr spoke to the public ahead of the report’s release and reiterated that there’s no evidence of collusion.

“After nearly two years of investigation, thousands of subpoenas, hundreds of warrants and witness interviews the special counsel confirmed that the Russian government sponsored efforts to illegally interfere with the 2016 presidential election but did not find that the Trump campaign or other Americans colluded in those efforts,” Barr said.

Maxine isn’t buying it. She released a huge statement, expressing her disgust with Barr’s conduct.

“I am utterly disgusted, but not surprised, by William Barr’s shameful performance this morning,” she said in her statement. “He was clearly acting for an audience of one: his puppet master, Donald Trump. It should shock no one that Barr would use his office to hold a public relations event to further obscure the facts of Mueller’s report before the public and Congress had the opportunity to review it.”

“Between his initial spin last month and today’s press conference, Barr has proven himself to be a very capable liar and fraud,” she continued. “Michael Cohen used to be known as Donald Trump’s fixer, but now it’s Bill Barr. Barr today again misrepresented Mueller’s findings and manufactured conclusions that were not reflected in the full report. I never had any confidence in Barr, but two things are clear after his press conference: Mueller must testify before Congress and Barr must be cast out of government along with this President and his accomplices.”

HAHAHAHA. Barr is now Trump’s “fixer.” Mmmmkay. I’m pretty sure it was MUELLER who concluded that there was NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION.

Waters went on to warn that Congress’ failure to impeach Trump would “imperil” the nation.

“At this point, Congress’ failure to impeach is complacency in the face of the erosion of our democracy and constitutional norms,” she said. “Congress’ failure to impeach would set a dangerous precedent and imperil the nation as it would vest too much power in the Executive Branch and embolden future officeholders to further debase the U.S. presidency, if that’s even possible.”
