Believe Quote by Maxine Waters
“I think that the Republicans who have been cautious, recognizing that they have to be concerned about their re-elections, etc., they won't be able to stand with Donald Trump when we unfold his connection to the Kremlin and what they were involved in, which I consider to be collusion.

They're going to have to fall. That's what I believe.”
