Congressman Eric Swalwell responds to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s statement warning telecom companies not to comply with 1/6 committee subpoenas and says he has prosecuted people with even less evidence for witness intimidation.

#McCarthy #Jan6 #Insurrection
Oh yeah, demanding that evidence be destroyed is totally what innocent people do.
@Mr. Robot MS. CLINTON. We don’t call male politicians by their first names.
@Kaiza Well, you have no evidence or rational basis for a discussion, you resort to playground tactics like “What about . . .” and “He or she did it first.”
@tuck979 EVIDENCE?
@Pete Lind So WHAT? The emails were release by the State Department, and no charges were brought against MS. CLINTON.
@D O You mean like Russian collusion evidence? Evidence that Kavanaugh was raping women? Evidence that Trump was fine with russian putting bounties on US military? Evidence that Trump incited Jan 6th? Ya… Still waiting to see any evidence. Trumps not in office, wonder why he hasn’t been arrested? Probably because democrats make up bs.
He doesn’t look “less guilty” He looks and is guilty.
I know sometimes the frustration and outrage feels like more then I can handle…then like Zahara from the ring, tick-tock… something shimmering appears and I feel hopeful these dirty dogs will be held accountable‼️👍🏽🇺🇸⚖️
@K M sure wen people look scared like mccarthy, wen some people face looks like beth more, joyce meyer fearful face, wen white face turn red red and some look like kenneth they r still getting treated so nice because they r white but if non white looks like that they get hated dislike fire at a job hurt that probablycatch that from christian
@Kent Teffeteller there is no “might “ he is guilty!
@Joni Beehive sure but turning his head when his wrestlers were being sexually assaulted shortened it’s length.
GIIIRRRLLLL, 100%!!!!!!
We can talk and talk all of this up and pretend he didn’t do anything wrong. Why isn’t any of the GOP being held accountable?
@Phil Hunt and actually the courts didn’t verify any signatures they just redid the same thing that was done on election nighr
@B Allen Fox News debunked this. Don’t believe every narrative you are told.
@B Allen Verify the signatures? Are you serious? Why would they? Based on lies and rumors? Courts need evidence.
@B Allen I actually agree with that. But politicians don’t count the votes.
@LB No.
Every time McCarthy opens his mouth he red flags the GOP ACTIVITIES.
You noticed that too
Yes! What are they trying to hide?
Is this McCarthy any relation to Joe McCarthy from back in the good ol racist days? I find it odd they share the same last name and share the exact same ways.
The GOP is driving us head first to a Hungarian ‘Democracy’.
Love that line “allowing votes to be counted after the election” which is the definition of all votes.
Exactly! Lol
Of course McCarthy wants to bury evidence , He’s just no good .
Kevin asking others to break the law is sadly unsurprising.
True
He’s not asking
Judge Judy would drag McCarthy through the mud and embarrass all of them.
IIRC Judge Judy suggested back in 2016 that she would vote for trump. I sometimes wonder if she changed her mind yet.
Sweet!! Love to see her rake him over the coals🔥
Gotta love Judge Judy!
Yes: Law recognises Lawyer client privelege.
No: Law does not recognise Legislator conspirator privelege.
@Sandra Lewis: Lawyer client privilege does not extend that far. It applies only to lawyer-client business. If a lawyer and his client are together because they are planning a crime, there is no privilege attached to those discussions.
Seems mighty strange how flipped out they are all getting , about just a “normal tour day” at the Capitol
Exactly!!!!
That would be a good question by a reporter talking to any of the GQP.
😁😁😁😁
Especially since it had been shut down due to covid-19. WHO authorized the tour? There should be cameras in place to record “the tour “. Look at them and see what’s on the tape.
They don’t call Gym Jordan, the look away from the truth, for nothing.
Essentially, Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Jordan are patsies for former president Trump, who are possibly running scared at this point!
No accountability when the lawmakers are in fact the lawbreakers.
If it was a crime to obstruct justice in the impeachment of Nixon, it is a crime when McCarthy does it
The words “integrity” and “Jim Jordan” do not belong in the same sentence.
I was thinking the same thing
How about ‘gym jordan has NO integrity’?
It could so long as qualifiers such as zero, lack of, or non-existent preceded “integrity”.
Along with his partner in crime…Matt Gaetz
“A future Republican majority” is comical. They won’t even have enough voters before COVID is under control after they ignorance.
@Ice 247 To be fair, no one was ever Jesus 😁
@Calisto Your opinion. Just because you say that it was no Jesus doesn’t make him none existing.
They’re good at gerrymandering
@Ice 247 Words of wisdom, indeed.
I wish there was to decertify a political party out of existence.
We all know this. Why aren’t any insurrection coordinators indicted? He appears to be the leader of the pack under Trump.
We need to bury Mcarthy in legal charges. End him.
Jim Jordan sure sees a lot of irregularities these days. Too bad he didn’t when they actually happened under his watch.
Gym Jordon has been dealing with his own irregularities since he was a Gym coach of highly ill irregularities with his young men students.
If Jimbo keeps coming up with irregularities, then maybe he needs more fibre in his diet.
