Imagine wanting to own the libs so bad, Joy, that you would defend the Nazi salute to a Jewish attorney general. I mean, that’s where they are right now.
Eric Swalwell
The Public Record
Eric Michael Swalwell is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for California's 15th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Swalwell has focused on issues such as gun control, healthcare, and technology policy during his time in office. He gained national attention for his role in the impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump and has been an advocate for progressive reforms within the Democratic Party.
This is a party that has chosen violence over voting, grievances over governing, and lies over leading, and we cannot expose that enough.
Executive power does, it turns out, has some boundaries, meaning that when you help incite, assemble a mob and aim that mob at the Capitol to essentially overthrow the government, that that`s going a little bit too far.
He is a legal terrorist, as we would call him on the impeachment team. We offered for him to come and testify in impeachment number two, and if you recall, he refused that offer and we believe that showed a consciousness of guilt.
In the beginning you referenced the January 6 prosecutions and just on behalf of my law enforcement family and the law enforcement officers who work in this building I want to thank you for continuing to pursue those investigations and…
Should that decision be made only after an investigation takes place rather than deciding beforehand a general principle of we are not going to investigate a former President at all?
I am wondering would you commit to revisiting that principle, whether or not a President while sitting should be indicted?
Today as we sit here in this room in dozens of courtrooms across America your prosecutors have that right if a witness under a lawful subpoena does not come in to ask for a warrant for that witness' arrest?
General Garland, you may not get these four hours back, but you may get some art history credit for today.
They need to act on new enforcement authority. They need give themselves the tools to enforce their oversight in real-time.
The enemy truly is within. The enemy is in the House of Representatives right now.
Right now, it's frustrating, Joy, but the best constraint on Donald Trump is the law. And the law moves not nearly at the pace of Trump's corruption. That's what's so frustrating.
The Democrats cannot allow the people who encouraged, planned and carried out the January 6th insurrection to get away with it.
We need more people like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. They had Republicans in their districts overwhelmingly telling them not to accept the outcome of the election, and they followed their conscience.
What happens if Kevin McCarthy becomes speaker and the January 6 issues are not resolved? Well, first and foremost, Congressional Gold Medals will be given to the cop killers of January 6. I promise you that.
We`re back in session tomorrow. I`m confident that we`re going to have a deal very soon.
It`s all the more reason that we need to continue to see an aggressive January 6 bipartisan commission pursue the ground truth of what happened that day. But I`m afraid that sometimes when letters like this come out, we have a tendency to…
If he was innocent, he would cooperate. The reason he`s not cooperating is because he does not have an innocent explanation for his conduct that day, plain and simple.
And I cannot stress enough to our president that getting the Senate to break the filibuster to pass voting rights, we have to do that in extra innings.
That commission does not have the same pressures of time or the pressure of the Senate that the impeachment managers had.
The best thing we can do, Lawrence, is to continue to shine a light on all of the falsities that Donald Trump and the election denier party, the Republicans continue to put out there.
We have significant budget requests that have come before the Congress that are pending as part of a 5-year cyber strategy that I unveiled last September.
