Hats off to Eric Swalwell.

(6,254 posts)charge yellows of Barr, Giuliani,McConnell, Chao....I like Warrens truth commission or whatever she called it. No more looking forward to the future. Dems must dismantle the Republican Party and their right-wing media enablers I want to see Murdochs ass in front of Congressional hearings, and Hannity as well. Every Trump dirty deal must be uncovered starting with his tax returns and tax evasion schemes along with his corrupt kids especially Jared and Ivanka. Bankrupt these bastards 7 time. And start an investigation into Kavenaughs lies during his conformation hearing like the Renata Club and Boof which leads to his impeachment and removal. The first 100 days I want revenge. AND BARR especially!

(6,448 posts)once he ISN'T the president, he's able to be prosecuted.
One problem: He was impeached in the House, then came the Senate "trial". If we were to call up a Grand Jury in a Manhattan or DC courthouse, would that be Double Jeopardy?
It wasn't a real trial, since there were no witnesses and he didn't face his accusers, so how does this play out? There isn't any precedent for this mega-nonsense and we can't rely on a solid 6 - 3 kangaroo Supreme Court.

(36,458 posts)Eric Swalwell has been around a bit, but I'm happy to see him morphing into a force to be reckoned with; he did a bang-up job during the impeachment hearings.

(2,541 posts)To hold Barr in contempt last summer. Are there no penalties for that?
No president should be / is above the law. Our system of government never anticipated an entire political party being corrupt so it does not have the safety valves built in for such a situation. It needs to be changed.
The OLC memo needs to be scrapped. If a President in office commits a crime they should be charged.
Also the same criminal President should not be in control of the department that is tasked with enforcement of the law. The command structure for the DOJ needs to be restructured so this is not possible.
