Maxine Waters Tells Republicans To Man Up And Admit That Trumps A Criminal
Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California said on Wednesday that Republicans in Congress know that Donald Trump has committed crimes, but they are just too spineless to admit it.
In an interview with MSNBCs Chris Hayes, Rep. Waters said, Its pathetic that these men have been elected from the states in this country to represent the people and they are basically saying they dont care about the rule of law and they know that this president has committed a crime or crimes.
The Democratic congresswoman said Trump cant just redefine the law to get away from his criminal violations.

Rep. Waters said:
Michael Cohen is going to prison for crimes Trump told him to commit
Republicans no longer have the standing to dispute the fact that Donald Trump knowingly directed his personal attorney to commit crimes in order to improve his chances of winning the presidential election.
While Trump has repeatedly claimed that everything he did with Michael Cohen was legal, that came crashing down on Wednesday when Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison.
People dont plead guilty to criminal activity and then get sent to prison if they didnt commit crimes. And the fact that Trump directed him to commit those crimes is not debatable. Republicans can no longer spin their way away from it.
As Maxine Waters said, its time for the GOP to man up and admit it: They are supporting a criminal.

They are just praying that if they stay silent, trump won't throw them under the bus, but we all know he will!

Individual-1 should thank his lucky stars that dirty Mitch McConnell's heart is still beating, because that's the only thing preventing a full-on wave of justice!
