Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell has issued a scathing warning against his Republican colleagues, stating that history will judge them harshly for their actions. In a recent testimony to the House Judiciary Committee, former special counsel Jack Smith corroborated Swalwell's claims, with the congressman confirming that he had "done everything right" while investigating President Trump.
Swalwell's comments came in response to Smith's account of his investigation into potential wrongdoing by former President Trump and his allies. The congressman maintained that he followed all applicable laws and procedures during the investigation, which led to the referral of several individuals and entities for further scrutiny.
The Republican Party has been accused of trying to intimidate and discredit investigators, including Swalwell, who is a key player in the ongoing inquiry into Trump's alleged misconduct. In a veiled attack on his colleagues, Swalwell said that those who had worked with him during the investigation would ultimately be vindicated by history.
Swalwell's statement was seen as a shot across the bow at his Republican adversaries, suggesting that their attempts to discredit him and undermine the investigation would ultimately fail. The congressman's confidence in his actions is likely to further fuel tensions between Democrats and Republicans, who remain sharply divided over the handling of the Trump investigation.

he's basically saying "hey republicans try this again" 
and honestly it's kinda adorable how confident he is in his actions. like if you're gonna say something to history, make sure it's a good one 
can't wait to see what happens next 
. Can't they just have a decent conversation without trying to one-up each other? It's like they're competing in some kind of absurd game show 
. And don't even get me started on the fact that this is all happening behind closed doors... I mean, who really knows what's going on here? 
The more I read about this, the more I feel like I'm just a pawn in their game of power and prestige 
.
He's doing everything he can to get to the truth and hold people accountable, and I am HERE FOR IT! 
From what I've heard about Jack Smith's testimony too, it sounds like someone is finally getting some justice for the American people. Keep speaking out, Eric - we believe you! 
I feel bad for him, you know? He's just trying to do his job and uphold the law, but everyone's got their own agenda. It's like, can't we all just get along and focus on what really matters - our health and wellbeing, or in my case, mindfulness and self-care 
Anyway, I'm rooting for Swalwell to keep doing what he thinks is right, even if it means going against the grain 
.
what's really gonna happen though? I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole situation...
It just seems like Swalwell's trying to spin the narrative his way, and I'm not buying it. In my opinion, Swalwell's more worried about being seen as a hero than actually uncovering the truth. 
to get outta the doghouse, know what i mean? 
the real question is, was he really doin' everyone's best interests or just tryin' to pad his resume 
? and btw, if history's gonna judge them harshly, shouldn't we be judgin' Swalwell too for bein' a bit too quick to throw shade at the other side 
? 
. It got me thinking, what does it say about our society when politicians feel they have to remind others that their actions will be judged by history? Does it mean we're living in a time where accountability is being called into question? 
It's almost as if Swalwell's comments are saying, "Hey, look at me, I did it by the book!" But is that really enough? Shouldn't our leaders be striving for something more than just compliance with the rules? 
. Can't they just focus on getting things done instead of throwing shade at each other? Swalwell's comments are just another example of this toxic politics and it's really frustrating. And don't even get me started on the fact that the Republican Party is trying to intimidate investigators like Swalwell... it's just ridiculous 
. Like, what even is wrong with trying to intimidate investigators? Doesn't anyone remember how important accountability is in a functioning democracy? 
. And let's be real, Jack Smith's testimony only adds fuel to the fire 
.
think swalwell's got a point lol he's been saying it for ages that republicans are just trying to cover their own backsides but now they're really pushing it with this intimidation stuff. what if history does judge them harshly?
