Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said Tuesday that if President Trump refuses to send the documents and witnesses that House Democrats requested in the impeachment inquiry, “We can only conclude that you’re guilty,” sparking critics on Twitter to accuse him of suggesting the president is guilty until proven innocent.

"In America, innocent men do not hide and conceal evidence," Swalwell added, in his conversation with CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "They are forthcoming and they want to cooperate and the president is acting like a very guilty person right now."

Among those objecting to Swalwell's remarks was Ben Williamson, communications director for Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C.

From his comments, I can only conclude that Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., is a traitor to the United States of America.

The Dems ask for stuff they know they can't have...either Classified or protected by Executive Privilege...

The when they don't get it...they scream "obstruction".

Dude is obviously stupid. There is no presumption of guilt. I know many Freepers don’t like lawyers, but it’s all up to lawyers now. If lawyers weren’t fighting to defend an innocent President, it would all be another Communist takeover by now.

Everyone realizes, I hope, that CA and NY are behind this impeachment push and must never be forgiven.

There used to be a great picture here on FR of Wolf Blitzer holding a sign that said ‘Will Lie For Food’. Can’t find it now.

Further PROOF that Democrats do not believe in innocent until proven guilty.....Trump is guilty and he has no hope of ever proving his innocence to hate-filled socialists.

“We can only conclude that you’re guilty... In America, innocent men do not hide and conceal evidence... They are forthcoming and they want to cooperate and the president is acting like a very guilty person right now."

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before we ask you any questions. You have the right to have a lawyer with you during questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. If you decide to answer questions now without a lawyer present, you have the right to stop answering at any time.

That is a reasonable conclusion.

Get a rope.

When CNN is your court of law his comment makes perfect sense.

Yep.

And as I have told everyone I can, THIS is exactly what the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact will look like, in practice. Every state legislature considering that scheme should take a nice, long look at this debacle because this is the future.

This nation will then be run by left wingers, in reliably bluest of the blue districts who serve, seemingly, for life. Remember, it’s only the GOP that imposes term limits on their committee leaders.

The Dems allow them to serve as long as they are breathing.
