Rep. Swalwell, regarding a text message he received from a friend: [View all]

"You did a good job on the trial but a lousy job on jury selection"

This was in response to a question from Brian Williams about what it's like trying to convince people who he knows are a hard "no".

Pretty funny, that.

Swalwell thinks that Trump is going to face a "mountain" of civil and criminal cases.

It's easy to frame this as a win. TwilightZone Feb 2021 #13

I care about the rule of law. The fact that the rest ignored truth and allowed this to skate is Evolve Dammit Feb 2021 #17

This was never about the rule of law TwilightZone Feb 2021 #20

It was to prevent him from holding office again, and the stain of being impeached and found guilty Evolve Dammit Feb 2021 #21

Again, that was never going to happen. TwilightZone Feb 2021 #23

I am counting on that mountain, and the fact that it will roar downhill and bury that POS. BobTheSubgenius Feb 2021 #24

I agree with Sawell: Trump will be buried in lawsuits. He better start paying his lawyers. marble falls Feb 2021 #28

The POS may decide to run in '24 just to get out from under his mountain of legal problems. sop Feb 2021 #30

Unless he wins it likely wouldn't help. TwilightZone Feb 2021 #33

We need a House and Senate committee formed to investigate this like Benghazi! machoneman Feb 2021 #31
