Swalwell: Trump 'makes us look like geniuses every day for impeaching him'
By Brooke Seipel - 07/03/20 05:32 PM EDT
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) said in a new interview he thinks President Trump makes him and other House Democrats "look like geniuses" for impeaching him, especially in light of reports that Russians offered bounties to Taliban-linked fighters to target U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
I think he makes us look like geniuses every day for impeaching him, Swalwell told the Yahoo News Skullduggery podcast in a new episode this week.
He was impeached for putting his personal interests above the countrys. And again, it looks like that's whats happening here. ... Now, if these allegations are true and the Russians are paying for the lives of American soldiers on the battlefield, the cost is the blood of our soldiers and I think the American people will understand that.
Swalwell was a key player during the House impeachment inquiry as a member of the Intelligence Committee and helped organize the articles of impeachment against President Trump. Ultimately, the Senate acquitted Trump on two impeachment charges surrounding his dealings with Ukraine, ending the historic, months-long battle over the presidents fitness to remain in office.

Republicans put party above country, and Trump is gyrating farther and farther out of control. He's lowering American prestige all over the world, endangering national security, and he knows that Senate Republicans don't have the nerve to rein him in.
