Maxine Waters Wants Donald Trump Charged With Premeditated Murder for Capitol Riot
Congresswoman Maxine Waters of California said former President Donald Trump initiated the riot at the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6 and that he should face premeditated murder charges for the lives lost in the day's violence.
Waters, who represents California's 43rd District in Los Angeles County, discussed during a Tuesday appearance on MSNBC's The ReidOut how she felt "lucky" to be locked in her office amid the riots. Even so, Waters said she has faced threats for years and can relate to the fear that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez felt on that day, which the New York congresswoman detailed in an Instagram Live earlier this week.
"Because I took on this president early, I called for his impeachment early, I have been threatened time and time again," Waters said.
After listing some of the threats she has dealt with at her California office over the years, Waters shifted to discussing the source of the January 6 threats and told The ReidOut's Joy Reid that Trump "had advance planning" of the Capitol invasion.
"They are following the president of the United States of America, who had advance planning about the invasion that took place in our Capitol," Waters said of the rioters. "There's information that some of the planning came out of individuals working in his campaign. As a matter of fact, he absolutely should be charged with premeditated murder because of the lives that were lost with this invasion, with this insurrection," Waters said of Trump.
Waters said she has learned over time how to look out for herself and de-escalate threats as they arise and added that she and other minority women in Congress "are often threatened."
"Yes, we are threatened. But we can't back off," Waters said. "We've got to fight as hard as we can to see to it that there's some justice."
Trump spoke at a "Save America" rally on January 6 as both chambers of Congress convened at the Capitol Building to affirm Joe Biden's Electoral College victory in the 2020 presidential election. Protesters marched to the Capitol after the rally, and some later broke into the building. Four civilians and one Capitol Police officer died in the violence that ensued. Two Capitol Police officers died by suicide in the following weeks.
Trump was impeached in the House of Representatives on January 13 for "incitement of insurrection" in connection with the events on January 6. His impeachment trial in the Senate is expected to begin next week.
Trump's impeachment lawyers responded Tuesday to the article of impeachment on which his trial will focus. Their response argued that it was unconstitutional to convict a president who is no longer in office and asked the Senate to vote to acquit him of the charges if the trial moves forward.
Newsweek reached out to Trump's communications team for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.

Nucking futs.
Her stupidity is only exceeded by her corruptness
Yeah, don't you just hate it when people make criminal complaints about others for no reason?
Republican senators refuse to back Trump’s 'treason' claim against Obama
No defense for the sack of shit Democrats then.
Just "But Trruuummmmppppp!!!!"
Trump is not an excuse for Democratic corruption, lying, and stupidity.
But Trump does show the hypocrisy of right wing nuts.
She has been in Congress for 30 years, now. It blows my mind that she keeps getting reelected. How is she not Speaker at this point? Seems like a missed opportunity for the intersectionality party.
Advanced planning. Right.
If it was advanced planned it was the worst coup attempt ever. Not nearly enough people. Not nearly enough weapons. Police and National Guard not neutralized. No primary buildings taken and held. No barricades set up. They didn't know where the fuck to go; where those in session would be moved to; and they got distracted by a single security guard- that didn't even have weapon drawn.
These were royally pissed off people that stupidly thought they would be treated with the same damn kid gloves as the Democratic backed leftist Brown Shirts of BLM and Antifa for the last 5 years. They were too busy taking fucking selfies and doing shit to get hits streaming to be bothered with overthrowing the government. Now they are getting exactly what they deserved for their stupidity- being tracked down and charged. The Democrats and their sheeple are screaming sedition and other bullshit at the top of their lungs to a more than compliant mainstream media willing to overlook their hypocrisy of the last 5 plus years.
Any Republicans accused by her, AOC, and other Democrats should sue them for slander and liable. Force their dumb asses to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt in court; and pay them millions when they lose. Then sue the leftist media that pushed their lies.
Maxine Waters encourages supporters to harass Trump administration officials
The California Democrat and vehement critic of President Donald Trump made the comments on Saturday, first at a rally in Los Angeles and later in a television interview. The comments, which come after several Trump administration officials have been recently protested at restaurants, have raised fresh questions about the state of American political discourse and were seized on by Trump for political gain.
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.
This Maxine Waters? The Maxine who doesn't even live in the district she's been elected to represent so many years (against the Constitution BTW).
Waters was under investigation for nearly three years over whether she used her position on the House Financial Services Committee to get officials to meet with OneUnited Bank and also help deliver $12 million in funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program to the bank. Her husband had been a director at the bank and held hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in the company, and several of the bank’s executives had cut campaign checks to her.
That Maxine Waters?
Depraved Indifference might be a charge that sticks.
