Maxine Waters: GOP wouldn’t care if a voicemail revealed Trump thanking Putin

The Hill 

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said Tuesday that the Republican Party would ignore collusion between President Trump's campaign and Russia even if they had a "voicemail" of Trump thanking Putin for the alleged collusion.

Waters's remarks came hours after Donald Trump Jr. released emails detailing his meeting with a Kremlin-linked attorney who promised compromising information on Hillary Clinton.

In a series of tweets Tuesday night, Waters called on Democrats to not let Trump Jr. "off the hook" for his actions.

"At this point, the [New York Times] could release Trump leaving a voice message thanking Putin for his services and GOP would still say “nothing burger,"" Waters wrote.

"Don’t let Trump Jr off the hook. Emails show his willingness to get info from Russia to influence election," the California Democrat added. "He is in a long line of LIARS."
