Swalwell: We Can't Give Trump a Chance to Do This Again, He Must Be Disqualified from Office
2021-01-26
[BREITBART] Representative Eric I farted on national television Swalwell
... U.S. Representative-for-Life from Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,'s 15th congressional district since 2013. Naturally he's a Dem. His district covers most of eastern Alameda County and part of central Contra Costa County. He was rapidly eliminated from the 2020 Dem nomination pool. He looks a lot like Greg Marmelard, and has the distinction of being one of the few politicians to ever fart on national teevee...
 (D-CA) Monday on MSNBC’s "Live" said that Democrats were impeaching former President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
, so he is convicted in the Senate, which includes a penalty of disqualification from office.

Jackson asked, "Do you plan to address the constitutional authority as has been raised by some of these Republicans for the House to bring an impeachment against somebody and for the Senate to convict somebody who is no longer serving?"

Swalwell said, "It’s constitutional. The Senate is steeped in tradition and custom, and I think it would be persuasive to them that they have actually done this before. They have held a trial for somebody who was no longer in office."

Jackson said, "You’re talking about the secretary of war?"

Swalwell said, "That’s right, Secretary of War, Belknap, we will all hear that name more than we probably want, but it’s because the Founders put as one of the penalties disqualification from office and because Donald Trump we know will do this again, has such a disdain for democracy and a disdain for public safety, we can’t afford as a country to give him a chance to come close to doing this again."
We shouldn't give whiny bitches who (allegedly) passed information to Chinese spies the opportunity to serve in Congress, either, but here we are...
He continued, "Our president invited and assembled this mob, he told this big betrayal of a lie, a betrayal of the Constitution that his supporters could stop a steal, and then he inflamed them and then sent them to the Capitol. I think just as powerful as what he did is what he didn’t do once they arrived, once they beat, spit on, stampeded over coppers, he said nothing for over two hours."

He added, "We’re confident that we can persuade the jury to convict with whatever amount of time they give us. I will leave it to the senate to set the rules. we’ve got the evidence."

#9  He is admitting that the post election “impeachment “ is all about political motives to block a future Trump run. The precedent becomes that the legislature can remove an elected President whenever it has the political will to do so. No actual crime need be proven, merely power and propaganda.

#8  #3 I still don't get what they think Trump did.

He defeated Hillary Clinton. They have never forgiven him for that, and they never will.

#7  If Trump had really called for the people to rise up and start decorating lampposts, what makes this idiot think he'd still be breathing.

Lefty plotting led to Jan 6th. That's all it was. No different than every night in Portland or Seattle.

#6  Can't let the voters decide that sort of thing. They keep voting wrongly.

#5  The best case they can make is that it took four years of Trump to incite whoever planned the riot, days before the speech.

Go ahead, get yer head around that!

#2  A national security risk who got caught in a CCCP honey trap is going around lecturing us on who belongs in office? Breathtaking, indeed.

#1  I like the part where he talks about Trump betraying the Constitution. Democrat hypocrisy is simply breath taking.
