New Urban "So What Was That That Happened, Now?" That Time No-Nonsense "Auntie Maxine" Led The Call to Investigate the Current US President and Ties to Moscow

She Means Business: Elder Stateswoman and California US Representative (D), Maxine Waters

As has was widely reported yesterday, Washington DC hit global news outlets yet again - as special independent counsel Robert Mueller filed official indictments in the sealed portion of Congress's investigation of Russian collusion by the Donald Trump campaign to influence the U.S. 2016 Presidential Election.

From day one of the current President's first term in the US White House, he has had an outspoken opponent in US California Representative (D)Maxine Waters, the most senior of the 12 black women currently serving in the United States Congress.  Having been a a member of Congress since 1991, in addition to representing the interests of constituents in her home state of California, Waters serves the United States on a federal level as a ranking Financial Services Committee member, the Congressional entity which oversees such issues including but not limited to Government-Sponsored Enterprises, Insurance, Housing, and Community Opportunity, and Oversight and Investigations. 

Due to what some would consider rather outrageous behavior on the 2016 campaign trail and a suspicious chain of meetings between the (then) incoming Trump Administration and various officials from the Russian government (then the subsequent firing of FBI Director James Comey, who was looking into the latter in an official capacity), alarm bells have been ringing as to the Administration's sudden arduous embracing (without explanation) of a foreign entity that has, for lack of a better description, has had (with the exception of a warming period between 1991-1999) strained relations with the United States since post- World War II. 

Since the current Administration has taken up residence in America's capitol, Congresswoman Waters has been looking at the ties between parties involved and their mutual interests- and has loudly and unabashedly led the call to look into possible obstruction of justice by the current President, as well as collusion with Russian government officials to influence & sway the US 2016 Presidential election.  With today's infinite digital news cycle and the social media's ability to shed instantaneous light on current events, the 83 year-old public servant has been introduced to an entirely new generation of tech savvy millennials and younger voters that have taken to her no-nonsense style and endearingly  dubbed the feisty octogenarian, "Auntie Maxine".  Below, you can follow a short video timeline of Congresswoman Waters ahead of the mission to find out and let the American public know what was that that happened, now (?) between the current US President and friends over in Moscow.
