Just wishing something were true doesn’t make it so!
That’s what Democratic Congresswoman and perennial crank Maxine Waters ought to learn, as this revealing clip shows. Time and again, Waters has loudly called for Donald Trump’s impeachment, practically since the day the president was elected. But just as other prominent Democrats have admitted, no evidence has come to light to justify those actions.
Activists from Michael Moore to Madonna would be on Cloud Nine if such evidence came to light, but so far, there’s absolutely nothing, as even former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has said. So angry has President Trump become over this issue that he’s essentially tweeted these very words, using Clapper’s quotes and calling out the media for publishing “Fake News” about the story, which is essentially a non-story.
If anything, the claims about interference in the presidential campaign actually go the other way, as former National Security Advisor Susan Rice has confessed — people in the Obama administration were actively spying on Trump campaign officials. And while those officials can’t be impeached like the president, they, like Rice herself, can definitely be hauled in front of a Congressional committee to answer questions under oath. Just because Waters is blowing smoke about this topic doesn’t mean there’s a fire; watch as she gets egg on her face for insisting otherwise.
