Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., argued the special counsel's report "certainly" showed evidence of collusion and rejected the idea that President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign deserved an apology for the controversial surveillance conducted under former President Barack Obama's administration.
When Fox News host Julie Banderas asked Swalwell about a potential apology, the California congressman said that special counsel Robert Mueller's report "laid out a multiplicity of contacts between the Trump campaign and Russians."
He contended that although special counsel Robert Mueller's report didn't declare collusion beyond a reasonable doubt, it still showed enough evidence of troubling contacts between Russia and Trump's associates. Swalwell argued that "reasonable suspicion," a lower standard than "beyond a reasonable doubt," was all that was necessary for starting an investigation.
"There was certainly evidence of collusion, not evidence that met the beyond a reasonable doubt standard" he said on "Outnumbered" before affirming suspicions that Trump potentially knew about Russian activities related to the election. "This president is in no way cleared," Swalwell said.

Everybody knew. If I recall, Obama knew about "Russian activities" and he even warned Putin of the (ahem) "consequences" (read: three whacks with a wet noodle) of doing so and downplayed it to the media assuming Hillary was going to coast in to the White House.
Was he asked about the overt collusion between the Clinton cat’s-paw, Fusion GPS and the Russians ?
Pray GOD delivers justice to this individual
quickly and that He would see fit the ‘man’ could never breed. We’ve seen far too many of ‘this type’.
I personally would rather have a swellwall than a swallwell
Really, Swalwell? Like the people are expecting a bunch of DC criminals to apologize? What we are expecting is justice and hopefully it will be delivered very soon.
That’s just what Deep Throat said befote going to prison for spying on the weather underground terrorists and violating their civil right.
Lock this butthole up.
How queer is it that Hitlery’s campaign was notified of Russian hacking attempts but the Trump team was not warned of what the Russians were ip to?
Looks like the FIB was just trying to run a phony sting operation on Team Trump and they didn’t tale the bait.
I bet Eric SwallowAll was regularly beat up in junior high and high school.

Too bad they stopped.
How about all the Dem campaigns get surveillance????
Trump should sue all of them.”””
I want all of the 60,000 ++ sealed indictments to be eleased & fast-tracked for fast prosecution.
I want Trump to put every single person in those indictments to be put on the NO FLY LIST.
I want him to REVOKE all of their passports.
Let the chips fall.......
So now we are down to Swalwell admitting that the Trump campaign was being spied upon. Trump claimed at the time that he was being spied on and the media just laughed it off. We have come a long way.
And did the FBI spy on Hillary’s campaign even though it knew her campaign gave money to foreign agents? No, of course not.
What we have is a conspiracy a thousand times bigger than Nixon for the same exact crimes, and instead of Democrat partisans resigning in shame, they brag about it.
It will be a wonderful day for America and the world when the leftists are publicly executed for their crimes against humanity which they’ve committed with the abortion industry and the pushing of the LGBT agenda on children, here and around the globe.
Swalwell admits Trump was spied on, so he has no reason to complain when Bar says the same thing.
