Rep. Eric Swalwell, a Democrat on the Intelligence and Judiciary committees, reacted to acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney's remarks that aid to Ukraine was in fact tied to President Trumps wish for an investigation into the 2016 election.
"He co-signed the President's confession, I guess," he told reporters as he left the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility at Capitol Hill. Swalwell reiterated that Trump still deserves a fair process even though he believes the President has confessed.
"We have a confession from the President," Swalwell said. "When a suspect confesses you can reduce the number of witnesses you need to call, still give them a fair process, but you know, kind of circling in on the timeline and who did what when."
Earlier today, Rep. Adam Schiff told CNN that Mulvaneys "acknowledgement means that things have gone from very, very bad to much, much worse.

CNN is running with a story right now saying the White House Admitted Quid Pro Quo. This appears to be the genesis of that report (Shifty and Smallsmell)

Every American has signed multiple confessions to dozens of crimes.
The CIA forgers can produce them if needed.
This is about _us_.

What's alarming these Democrats is that the "investigation" in question isn't the Biden & Biden affair ...
it's the role of Ukrainian figures in the 2016 election. As soon as I saw the narrative of President Trump's July 2019 phone call with the Ukrainian president, the biggest that jumped out at me wasn't the Biden angle, but the reference to Crowdstrike in President Trump's request for help.

investigation into the 2016 election
They are formatting this into something illegal. Trying to conflate investigating democrats as the same as investigating 2016 election fraud and russian conspiracy. Trump said all along that he was going to get to the bottom of the election spying and interference.

Swalwell and Schiff are two of a kind and then throw in CNN, three of a kind and they surely don’t lie, do they?

I concur. When those two are your spokespeople, it smells on the outset. Using the language of “the president’s confession” is also overly dramatic political garbage. So tired of these morons.

“Did he also mention to me in passing the corruption related to the DNC server? Absolutely,” Mulvaney told reporters during a rare briefing at the White House on Thursday, recalling a conversation he had with the president about corruption in Kiev.
“Thats it,” Mulvaney said. “Thats why we held up the money.” -USA Today
Even if those were Mulvaney’s words, he’s saying aid was held over the server. He didn’t mention Biden or Biden’s corruption.

The guy who wanted to use nuclear weapons on Americans if they didn’t give up their guns? That guy? Why would I listen to a word he has to say?

Lets not forget that Rep. Eric Swalwell is the same scumbag that implied that the gov would respond to rebellion by launching nukes at its own civilians.

Its cnn.
cnn needs to search on an obscure item called “Project Veritas.”
cnn is just a clown show.
I wonder, will the PV tapes will bounce Zucker out the door?
