U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters is dead set on impeaching Donald John Trump.\u00a0She is so anxious to boot the president out of office she says it is “past time” to file articles of impeachment against him.<\/p>\n

Well . . .<\/p>\n

Allow me this brief rejoinder to the California Democrat: No, ma’am. It isn’t “past time.” Impeachment needs to wait for some work to be finished.<\/p>\n

Special counsel Robert Mueller is up to his armpits in evidence that he is preparing for a final report on “The Russia Thing.”<\/p>\n

Trump’s denigrating of our nation’s intelligence chiefs’ assessment of threats against the country got Waters’ temperature up. She’s been an ardent and vocal critic of the president. She needs little to get fired up over her desire to impeach him.<\/p>\n

I oppose the president at almost every level, too. However, I am going to use this forum — my blog — to assert that we must wait for Mueller to finish his work before we decide whether to proceed with impeachment.<\/p>\n

With that, Rep. Waters, I urge you to settle down and let the special counsel finish his important task.<\/p>\n\n
