But Swalwell (D-Calif.), also a member of the House Intelligence Committee, disputed the chairman’s argument Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “It’s not an internet cafe. You can’t just walk in and receive classified information,” Swalwell said of the White House, adding that when a member of Congress visits, “everyone in the building knows that you’re there in the building.”

“This is done because the White House wanted it to be done,” the California Democrat said. “And this is what a cover-up to a crime looks like. We are watching it play out right now.”

If Nunes wanted to view classified materials, Swalwell said, there are secure facilities for doing so at the Capital, making a trip to the White House unnecessary. “If this was done the proper way, they could have brought it over, shared it with both parties of the committee,” he said.

Swalwell also wondered aloud why Nunes has been unwilling to share the source of his information when committee members have “always been on the same team up until now.”

2. The Writer from Politico Misspelled Capitol

Proofreading is obviously a dead art.

3. It may be a mis-spelling, but Capital crime has now become Capitol crime.

8. Writers have gotten lazy with auto-correct and grammar checkers. Yes, proofreading is a dead art.

9. Speaking of Lazy

I used the word misspell, which is inaccurate. The writer didn't misspell anything. It was a word usage problem. So, i guess it's "look who's talking, GAC!"

10. And you're a professor????

We all due it.

11. Well, To Be Fair, I Used To Be

I taught organic chemistry at one school, a simplified version of the same at a pharmacy school, and then later statistical theory at a different place. I was never tenured or even full time. I got the screenname from the free AOL email account given by the first school when the internet first hit. After i didn't want to pay for AOL when i left, the internet nom de plume stuck. I actually haven't taught any classes since around 2008 or 2009. And, i wasn't teaching English. So, maybe that gives me a pass! Maybe not!

12. Glad you didn't point out my (intentional) misspelling. In High School and in College....

...my absolute worst subject was organic chemistry. I never could grasp all the Cs and Hs and Os, etc. To this day (50+ years later) I can't understand how I got through that without at least one F.

7. I never heard of Swallwell until last week, but I like his style and attitude. He's good.
