Eric Swalwell

This impeachment is a continuation of the insurrection that came here on January 6. This gang has never accepted Joe Biden as the President. The architect of the idea that you could overturn the election is the current Speaker of the…

Let me thank Ranking Member Swalwell for a very important hearing.

As we close out the year, I want to thank the Chairman for what I think has been a pretty productive year on this subcommittee as we've taken on a lot of the challenges in this realm.

I think that's one part we have to get right is to make sure you don't have kind-of two classes of kids, the class that learns AI and the class that doesn't have the resources.

One of the problems we have as defenders is we don't talk to each other enough, right? The bad guys are actually working together.

I think it's seriously time for Congress to consider outlawing ransomware payments.

I think that this is something that Congress should do, not the administration unilaterally.

I want to go on record for saying that we, as Members of Congress, have been engaged in a task force.

I once again urge my colleagues to reject any proposal that would slash CISA's budget in fiscal year 2024.

It is not always good for Congress to say me, me, me. I'm here to regulate and not ensure that we have the right road map to go forward.

We're not sent here to work every day on behalf of one person. He's not eating, and that's why you're here--to feed him.

You would think that a Member of Congress who has sworn an oath to defend the Constitution would want to help their government in the largest investigation the country has ever taken.

These folks think that the American public are fans and that this is just entertaining and we're keeping the chief entertainer, Donald Trump, happy.

Jim Jordan and James Comer, they can't take yes for an answer. They don't want him to testify publicly.

They've literally, in this room, put up pictures of nonconsensual nudes of Hunter Biden to embarrass the current President.

This is a buffet for the former President, to just make him happy.

These claims--it's clear that what Republicans want to do to impeach Joe Biden is not working.

It is all theater. It is all to feed the beast, because Donald Trump's not eating, so they have to haul these people in.

We're in December now, and 92 individuals, many from your agencies, have come in for secret, nonpublic, no video recording interviews, and not a single one of them has come to a public hearing.

I also want to thank Director Wray and Secretary Mayorkas for sending to my Congressional district...

The idea that we would deliberately blind ourselves to information that is lawfully in our possession just strikes me as crazy.

most Americans have no idea about the successes that we achieve on behalf of the American people every day.

Could you conceive a greater case of self-sabotage to create a vulnerability to the United States than letting Section 702 lapse at the end of the year?

I, the Chair at the time, Chair Nadler, many people in the Jewish community, asked the Chair, Chair Jordan, to take this down.

Last October, the Chair tweeted out on October 6th, 'Kanye. Elon. Trump.'
