Swalwell On Impeaching Trump: 'We're On That Road'

​      Democrat presidential candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell was interviewed on CNN's "New Day" on Tuesday. Swalwell said thanks to the Mueller Report, the country is on the road to impeaching President Donald Trump. Despite the Mueller Report clearing Trump of obstruction of justice and collusion with Russia.

     "We’re on that road right now. We certainly got closer after the Mueller report. I’ll one of the persons who will have to prosecute that case," Swalwell said.

     "When I prosecutor for seven years I always had the pencils sharpened, my subpoenas ready, my witness exhibits ready to be displayed right before I went in because I knew I’d get one shot. Here we only get one shot," he added.

     "Look, this president needs to be held accountable. If we do nothing, we do two things; we enable the president. As the father of a 2-year-old, doing nothing is not an option for someone who continues to act out. Also, you set a standard for future presidents, that the bar is lower. We don’t want either of those," Swalwell continued.

      Attorney General William Barr released the redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on collusion between President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia. 
​
     The Mueller probe failed to find any evidence proving President Trump committed a crime. 

     "The evidence we obtained about the President’s actions and intent present difficult issues that prevent us from conclusively determining that no criminal conduct occurred. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him," the report states. ​​​​​
