Legendary Democratic Californian Congresswoman Maxine Waters, whos boycotting Trumps inauguration on Friday, raised eyebrows on Monday whenshe devised an unusual rationaleforimpeaching the President-elect: calling Hillary Clinton Crooked Hillary and questioning her health.

Appearing on MSNBCs Hardball with Chris Mathews last night, Waterswas asked why some Democrats viewTrumps victory in the election as illegitimate.

If theres some sort of as you call it collusion, then what? Does that make Trump subject to impeachment? Just generally, tell me what you mean by the term? Matthewsasked.

The Congresswoman then responded that: If we discover that Donald Trump or his advocates played a role to help provide strategy if theyre the ones who came up with Crooked Hillary, if theyre the ones who came up with, shes ill, somethings wrong with her energy, and the way that he basically described her during the campaign I think that is something that would put the question squarely on the table whether or not he should be impeached.

Mathews didnt press theCalifornia Democrat on her logic, but askedwhether you can commit an impeachable offense before you take office?

Well, I think that at the point that investigations discover and confirm and can document any of that role in helping to strategize they had a role in attempting to determine the outcome, she answered.

That in many ways they used the information they got when they hacked into emails etc. if that was used against Hillary Clinton in some way, yes I think thats impeachable.

No doubtCongresswoman Waters will be delighted to learn that Trump indeed came up with Crooked Hillary nickname for Clinton. He unveiled the name at a rally in New York back in April last year, where he focused on Clintons ties to special interests.

On April 17th, Donald Trump used the nicknamefor the first time on his Twitter account, saying Crooked Hillary Clinton is spending a fortune on ads against me. I am the one person she doesnt want to run against. Will be such fun!
