Maxine Waters appeared on “All In with Chris Hayes” on Feb. 21, 2017. Asked to respond to remarks by Reince Priebus, what happened next was a surprise. Not only did Representative Waters respond regarding Priebus’ comments, she laid out the cast of characters and possible motivations of Trump’s, and those surrounding him, ties to Putin and Russia. I have included this full video below.

I want to point out that MSNBC chose to not provide the full section of Representative Waters’ comments. In searching for the full interview, I found that many who has posted the interview only posted the shortened version offered by MSNBC. Of those few who had posted the full interview, most listed it as “Unhinged Maxine Waters.” I have my suspicions about where those copies came from, but at least they had the full interview.

Without further adieu, Thank you Maxine Waters for at least laying out the dots and some of the connections between them. This is the most complete compilation I have seen so far.
