Eric Swalwell

Chair Jordan is now interfering in an independent criminal prosecution.

we would like those documents.

What do you think is going to happen? People are going to take up violence against the cops.

I want to thank the activists who have stayed in this fight for reasonable gun safety, and thank you for showing up today.

Exactly the cogent answer I would expect from a fellow government and politics degree holder from the University of Maryland.

I would like to congratulate my friend from New York, Mr. Garbarino, on becoming Chairman of the subcommittee.

My colleagues, this is a lie.

We are still taking an MRI to this to see exactly what happened.

I am very disgusted by that remark.

I plan to introduce legislation to clarify the activities of the JCDC to improve on its successes and increase its impact.

They don't stand up for the officers who protected us at the Capitol that day, and certainly by bringing witnesses here today that say, 'fuck the cops,' we know that that is exactly where they stand.

Thank you again, Chairman Garbarino, Ranking Member Swalwell, and Members of the subcommittee for your attention to these important bipartisan issues.

Most Americans believe that you should be able to own a firearm to protect yourself, that you should be able to own a firearm to take your kids hunting, and that you should be able to own a firearm to go to a range and shoot for sport.

I am a little surprised, especially growing up in a Republican family, that my colleagues have abandoned the position I have long known them to hold, which is to defend and protect the police.

Most of us live in the great big center where we think that we can protect our kids and protect the Second Amendment.

I always thought Republicans were, you know, the self-proclaimed protector of free markets, but here, they seem to have a problem that a free-market society that has banks would say we don't want to bank with a certain individual.

I have sent a letter to the SEC with my colleague Brad Sherman asking them as well to look at whether there was a short that took place that was followed by any sort of on-line manipulation of the market.

Congratulations. You have done something that Chair Jordan was not willing to do.

Not responding to a Congressional subpoena is a direct purpose of evasion.

If you don't condemn it, then you're condoning it.

The claim here is that the Department of Justice has designated parents as domestic terrorists.

I think it's quite rich that we are talking about subpoena compliance under a Chair of the Full Committee who was absolutely out of subpoena compliance in the last Congress.

A Congressional subpoena is a powerful and coercive tool. It should be only used when attempts to reach an accommodation with a witness have reached an impasse or when necessary to obtain certain sensitive information, such as financial…

We haven't heard one shred of evidence that any parents were unlawfully targeted by the Department of Justice, but we did hear a lot about Mar-a-Lago.

I think China has blood on its hands for the fentanyl crisis because, as a number of people have said, overwhelmingly these fentanyl is coming through points of entry and overwhelmingly it is U.S. citizens.
