Eric Swalwell

In this country, no one should be above the law.

That coming down here, outside of that courtroom while that witness is on the stand to try to impeach his credibility and his testimony is jury tampering.

As usual, my Republican colleagues on the other side of the aisle are accusing the Democrats of doing all their misconduct that they engage in over and over and over in an effort to normalize it.

Let me tell you what is really election interference. Withholding military aid to an ally in the middle of a war to coerce and extort a foreign government to investigate a political opponent.

This Subcommittee is using its platform to bully American people into believing falsehoods, falsehoods which serve little purpose other than to scare every day Americans, spread confusion, and attempt to reelect Donald Trump.

I applaud the DOJ for not giving into political pressure and following the facts where they lead.

They still have nothing to show for it which explains why we are frantically calling last-minute hearings over and over again to distract from Trump's criminal trials.

It is our duty to call that bias and hidden agendas of the Committee.

I hope this issue you see in a room that is often contentious, explosive, volcanic, that you have got Members on both sides who first honor and salute the victims...

As we think forward about, you know, what can we do? This is the Homeland Security Committee.

I first just want to say to Mr. Zaid that your clients, who you represent, are heroes.

What are the dangers of Congressman Kennedy--I'm sorry, Congressman Massie's fear-mongering against a safe and effective vaccine that saves lives against a virus that killed over a million Americans?

I guess we're talking about COVID again. That's all right. I'm old enough to remember when the former President, President Trump, wrote out, Looks like a third rate grandstander named Thomas Massie...

You can't keep up with the overwhelming requests of nonsense that's coming from them, and they won't prioritize.

I think the approach here is to over request, to overkill on their search for documents and put you in an impossible position.

In the Department of 'You Can't Make This Up,' the Chair of the whole Committee is approaching 700 days being out of compliance of a subpoena that was issued to him.

People who are just trying to do their jobs, work for Uncle Sam and do the right thing to make America better, safer, and stronger don't deserve to be attacked in that way.

It's important for the American people to know that we have adversaries out there who are trying to undermine American democracy.

Chair Jordan may believe that everyone on this Committee has amnesia, because for the last 18 months, almost every time we have come into this room, we have been promised evidence of crimes that will impeach President Biden, over and over…

In light of Republicans producing absolutely zero on impeachment, let's just declare from here forward, until they put up some evidence, that Joe Biden has been acquitted of every single MAGA smear.

Despite the majority's unwillingness to prioritize what they want, is it true that you've provided the Committee with more than 12,000 pages of documents?

If chaos agents like Marjorie Taylor Greene and others want to just send us -- and descend us back into chaos at the expense of getting things done, I do agree with our Democratic leadership that we should avoid that.

There's no one who could win on the Republican side.

It's not about Speaker Johnson's job, it's about doing the job every day that Americans expect us to do, which is to get things done.

Moving forward, it is imperative that CISA strongly consider and incorporate feedback from the private sector.
