BOLDUAN: “You say you’re not going to let them, I also heard in relation to, this was James Comey, you say last week that your committee, Judiciary, has the power to step in and kind of stop some of this. But how, congressman, especially being in the minority?”
Swalwell: “Well, first, we’re making it clear that we’re going into the majority a year from now. We have every intention to do that, and so we will bring oversight, accountability, we will subpoena the Department of Justice, but also private actors who have done these drug deals with the administration, college campuses, entertainment companies, law firms. And so accountability is coming. And so, one, it’s all coming out, two, I hope that deters people from doing more of these deals, these one-offs with the president. One other point, though, on Comey, Kate, this happened when Donald Trump was president. So if you’re trying to tell me this is not politically motivated, the statement that they’re referring to where he allegedly lied, Donald Trump was president, so why didn’t you indict him then? The fact that he’s indicting him now just makes it look even more politically motivated, and so I’m pretty confident that this will either be dismissed or Mr. Comey will be acquitted by a jury of his peers.”
