Rep. Swalwell Fires Back At GOP Critics: Second Impeachment Is 'Constitutional' | Hallie Jackson
The fact that they’re only making procedural arguments and none on the merits tells you they know Trump is guilty.
@Numinous20111 i agree , but in this case his mouth got him he can’t back pedal on this one
@Numinous20111 U r right then on the other hand. Some of Donald Trump’s supporters r not very happy. Why ? Because they feel that Donald Trump abandoned them when they went to jail n his behalf and. They r mad that Tax Breaks that. Donald Trump was talking to them. About benefited the Rich People not the Poor People. I do not think that the Republican Party. Will gain any brownie points for hanging on to Donald Trump’s coat tail. There plans may back fire on them. Instead of them winning they may lose some Senate Seats n the next election.
@Vanessa Flynn It’s had to know how things will pan out for the GOP. As long as they keep up the slogan “If the Democrats win then the country will be destroyed and your way of life will be taken from you”, they may get enough votes. But I do accept your point that the GOP may be digging their own political graves.
@Numinous20111U must of misunderstood what i said and. l did not say that the Democrats. Should keep winning all of the Election.
What i was trying to say is that the. Republicans need to tell the Truth about the Election and. I think that the Republicans r not. Telling people the Truth because they r trying to impress the people who voted for Donald Trump and. The Republicans r afraid that the Republicans. Votes want vote for them if they turn on Donald Trump and. I am sixty years old and. I was raised to tell the truth.
The world needs to see that we punish our criminals!
@Donald Rider Get a grip. Were not going to stand for anymore of those McCarthy (R-Benfhazi) “investigatory” merry-go-rounds.
@Bob Jones Where did you go to school,, Conspiracy Theory U?
@Bob Jones It’s better than your debunked conspiracy theories. Sometimes all you can do when people are incapable of dislodged conspiracy theories from their brains is laugh. It’s sad, but we did try to help you.
@David Eby Who’s a patriot in your mind? Please don’t say Mr. Bone Spurs. I can’t take any more laughter today.
@DAVE MAURER Yeah, more innuendo. He wasn’t accused of anything and U.S. authorities believe Fang got no classified information from him. Innuendo is not fact. Continually spreading innuendo is dishonest.
Americans citizen are the witness.
Exactly!
We even have a bit of national PTSD from watching it unfold live in real time
Tom Cotton is guilty of stolen valor by falsly (and repeatedly) claiming he is an Army Ranger. He needs to be tried and removed as well.
That’s Arkansas for ya…
He meant to say Rump Ranger.
Is that so……..hmmm. There is no end to the hypocrisy

Follow the money, Eric Trump- We get all the money we need from Russia. I guess some one needs to take the GOP by the hand and explain the dangers of crawling in bed with our enemies. Communist Countries, Russia, China etc..
We must convict or we will be leaving our children a legacy of lawlessness.
Absofreakinglutely
That’s exactly right!
And maybe worse, permission for HIS children!

So not like the lawlessness of blm and antifa all summer long.
.fools
Nope the American people won’t think it’s strange, we want accountability!!!!
@Noir Path U r right and it seems like there are double standards. When a White Person or Rich Person commit crimes and. No seems to b able to find any evidence that a crime has been committed. Maybe if Eliot Ness was still alive and. If he had of been one of the Leading. Prosecutors investigating Donald Trump he would of been arrested and thrown n jail.
@Vanessa Flynn Exactly.. the media is still referring to the attack on the capitol as a “riot” instead of a terrorist attack. After 3.5 weeks..The FBI has only arrested 150 out of thousands – even tho clear videos of them & cell phones could have identified everyone there within a day.. Most of those charged were for “misdemeanors”.. Its all a joke..
Agreed I don’t think it’s strange at all
@Joel Present I did not mean no harm what i. Said about the different people disobeying the laws and. Thank U for agreeing with me and. This World needs more people who thinks like u and me.

“trump is a former president”. Yes, and we should make sure he says that way.
Former president and future convict.
I hope so too because Donald Trump will. Put all of the American People Life In Danger. By doing back door deal’s and. I would will trust my Diary with my. Secrets before i would Donald Trump.

If you don’t put the flames out completely you will get another fire.
Those flames been growing for a long time as we have been warned by intelligence agencies around the world since 2009. Perhaps we should start listening to those we pay to tell us these things.
Dana Hilo…. Absofuckinlutly right…..try and convict trump and his scamming grifter family needs to answer
Uuummm….cancer society…..haah….I’m wondering just how much they took them so they could all get
Lawyered up …..they know how guilty they are…..but being the narcissistic family they are…..let’s pray they all go down together…👍👍🤣😉💯🙏💙💙☮️
C’mon MAAAN…. 😂🤣🤣🤣💯💙☮️
Kind of like saying; sure that person committed a crime, like a murder; but hey, they moved to another city why should the local police waste its time investigating?
Great analogy…
More like the guy died, but he has the ability to resurrect himself. We just want to take away the ability to resurrect, and before anyone says like Jesus, I’m more thinking Vlad the Impaler, which I believe is the name of Dracula.
@Ronald King and you know what Vlad did to corrupt public servants…
Because it could prevent him from ever holding office again.
He “left office about a week ago??” Dude, tell it like it is, trump got KICKED OUT OF OFFICE!!! There, I fixed it for ya
@R. McBride haha!!
THANK YOU, Pookie Redz! The TRUTH!
@R. McBride 😂😂
@Katey2012able you’re welcome Katey, and we need more of it (TRUTH) now, than EVER!!

He did nothing wrong. Kamaltoe was helping pay terrorists bail all summer.
Why are they playing stupid? The purpose of impeaching former president Trump is to keep him from ever holding federal office again, period. As an American, I don’t think that’s stupid, I think it’s necessary.
What is TRULY unconstitutional: sedition and insurrection.
@frog mann Yes, I did! I learned a new meaning for “troll.”
What about Swalwell sleeping with a Chinese spy? Keep your mouth shut, sweetheart.
@Ann Marie Hicks and you are living it.
Stealing elections is dangerous business I suspect this is only going to get worse

He needs to be held accountable no matter what.
What about Fang Fang, hypocrite?
Yes bro agreed
Swalwell gonna let his Chinese spy girlfriend testify?
John Brennan committed Crimes against America.
@David Eby Why not? Even a Chinese spy has more integrity than any current republican! Including all you IQ challenged sycophants and insurrectionists!
No one should be told about how to feel about being attacked when someone has plotted your death. Sum of those ppl had bad intentions, thank goodness they didnt get to them. How terrible it could have really been.
Who started the fire, little Marco? Do we not punish arsonists after the fire is out?
Pretend he’s a criminal and prosecute his crime.
“Pretend he’s a Democrat” would get the message across better.
If you impeach him than all who called for violence should be put on trial like Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters for supporting violence. Even the talking heads in media should be brought under charges
@Roman Temniuk I’m curious, who called for violence? Please supply the exact words from legitimate news sources.
@Christine Musselman Maxine Waters called for her supporters to follow Trump supporting politicians and supporters to let them know they are not wanted be it in a restaurant, gas station. ..ect. Its as much as Trump did when he told them to protest. Infact afew years back a republican was shot at a softball game if you recall. The shooter was a Bernie. supporter. Nancy Pelosi said she was shocked that there weren’t more riots after the George Floyd murder and that they were coming Kamal Harris collected money for rioters bail money. Thats off the top of my head. Do a you tube search and you’ll see the videos. Trump never told the protesters to storm the Capitol. Or if you have a link that shows differt send it but i watched the speach myself, never mentioned attacking
He should have added “Jurors who are perpetrators” too.
!!!!
I like that idea.
@katy bassett ya let drug smugglers put themselves on trial
