James Comer must resign from Congress.

[bigtree]

Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell
James Comer must resign from Congress. For the last two years he has done the work of Russia’s intelligence services to falsely attack President Biden. There must be accountability.

..and he should be investigated as to his knowledge of where this information was coming from.

I call him a Russian agent, not a dupe. He should be made to explain why he believes he's not one.

[Tom of Temecula]

1. Without a doubt

Stooge, traitor, useful idiot.

[RicROC]

53. Member of Congress disseminating false information from Russian agents?

Arrest and jail him while they investigate the details.

[sop]

2. Where's Joe McCarthy when we really need him?

[DBoon]

29. I want him to reply under oath to "Are you now or have you ever been..."

Unlike most of McCarthy's targets, this one is real

[The Magistrate]

3. No Question, Sir

A functioning legislature would expel him by Tuesday, but of course no functioning legislature would have this cretin in its midst.

[PCIntern]

4. And according to Keith O,

Comer threatened his ex-gf and her mother with physical harm.

That in 1991 - he took that ex girlfriend for an abortion in early November of that year - and he was madeshe used her real name.

Every time you turn the page on one of these Republicans - another sleazy hypocritical fact comes out.

[PCIntern]

31. ...and that's the one you know about.

I can only imagine this asshole’s “body count”

[JustAnotherGen]

56. Truth

His guilt is being taken out on American women who wouldn't touch the s.o.b. with a ten foot pole.

[Varaddem]

5. They're looking at this

After the bushes and Jared ?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

6. Comer should provide information about his co-conspirators on his way out.

[Captain Zero]

51. Is Comers district the one with Deripaska's Aluminum Recycling Plant?

Has Comer ever taken funds from Deripaska?

[ecstatic]

7. THIS. Swalwell is learning. What would repubs do/say

if the situation were reversed? We have to start raising holy fucking hell when these MFs fuck up, especially at this magnitude. There needs to be hearings, votes to boot, etc.

Basically, we have to reset and change the culture that has lead to the FBI only fearing, respecting and deferring to republican lawmakers. Both sides should be treated equally.

[CrispyQ]

18. That's not the way of the old guard but I have high hopes for our younger gen dems!!

They have fight & spirit!

Things were different last century, before the repubs totally lost their mind & their way, when you could actually negotiate with them, before Gingrich poisoned everything. Bastards that they were they at least lived in the same realm of reality we did. Now? These people are nuts. Dangerous nuts. It's gotta be hard watching people you worked with for 40 years kiss the ring of the likes of Trump.

Lindsey Graham, what the GD fuck happened to you?

on edit: I read Biden told his campaign to start using the whackadoodle crap Trump say in more ads. It's about time.

[cstanleytech]

33. I wouldn't put to much blame on Gingrich to be honest so much as the ultra wealthy like the Koch's.

Without their funding almost none of this radicalization of over 70+ million Americans would have been possible.

[SouthernDem4ever]

34. I can put the entire beginning of the downfall on Gangrenous

He had the opportunity to do the right thing and he chose the opposite. It doesn't matter where the money comes from.

[cstanleytech]

35. Sure he could have but the same wealthy people would have simply found some other asshole to do their bidding.

[SouthernDem4ever]

46. But that other person wouldn't have been a leader in the House of Reps.

[MyOwnPeace]

40. ABSOLUTELY Gangreengrich - House Majority Leader......

Attacking Bill Clinton for getting a BJ while he (Newt) was having an affair behind his wife's back.
Also wrote a manual about how to steal votes by using lies - made Nixon look like an angel.
And our lame, freaking media is giving him another platform to spread more of his lies!

[cstanleytech]

48. None of which might have happened had not the ultra wealthy supported Gingrich and other ilk like him.

[et tu]

8. way to go swalwell!

dems need to keep working
for better government~

[NoMoreRepugs]

9. He will be given even more leadership authority for heading the SlobFather smear campaign

versus Biden. Always remember, Republicans exist in BizzaroWorld.

[lastlib]

10. Along with half his conference!

INCLUDING the speaker! Those who supported this sham must GO! YESTERDAY.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. "He should be made to explain why he believes he's not one." 14A Sec 3

How big a majority could we get? Would a solid Dem majority refuse to seat certain GQP members in 2025? There is the 2/3 rule. Those denied a seat would have to petition Congress for an up or down vote with 2/3 required to remove their "disability" as the Constitution states. Giving aid to the enemy is a thing.

[czarjak]

12. Russia was listening.

Since 1945. Everybody knows that.

[BootinUp]

13. I'm sure he will take these calls seriously

not.

[Owens]

14. Democrats need to get on the same page and shout this on every tv show

Comer must be willing to turn over all communications with the informant and other Russian agents.

[Owens]

15. Suspicious Timing

The timing of this report and the Republicans disappearing for two weeks of "vacation" is suspicious.

[moniss]

16. We need someone to ask

on the floor how much contact Comer has had with Russians. It also needs to be addressed how many contacts with others in the Russian sphere of influence he has had. Maybe line up Jordan and a few others in that line of questioning.

[gab13by13]

17. Resigning is a cop out,

Hey Merrick Garland, Mr. Special Counsel. how about appointing a special counsel to investigate the Comer investigation?

While you are at it you must appoint a special counsel who was appointed by a Democrat in the spirit of being non-partisan.

This 5 year investigation of Hunter Biden smells to high heaven, maybe Christopher Wray needs to be investigated, how could this Smirnov Russian agent be an FBI informant since 2010?

Calling for Comer to resign is not enough, and while Garland is at it, investigate Comer's shell company, maybe Russia is laundering money through it.

[PTL_Mancuso]

20. Indeed! A cop-out! Ducking the COPS! This guy is anti-American scum!

Resign? Hell no!

Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!

[chicoescuela]

52. I agree Gab but we both know it won't happen

[cilla4progress]

19. Go Swalwell!!!!

[RicROC]

42. Swalwell is the Dem to watch.

I can imagine him as POTUS.
I'm glad he ran in the 2020 Primary because he has the appetite and energy it takes to run, campaign and govern

[cilla4progress]

47. Yes.

And he ain't afraid.

[ScratchCat]

21. At minimum

House Democrats need to hold a press conference on the steps of the Capitol where they state that the entire impeachment charade has been proven to be a Russian spy operation from the start and they will no longer be participating in any way, shape or form with any "impeachment inquiry" if the House GOPers insist on continuing. State that they will stand up and walk out of any future hearings. Also, all should sign a letter to Merrick Garland insisting on a Special Counsel to investigate Comer's and other's connections to this individual whom they were getting fake information from.

[creeksneakers2]

38. I want the Democrats there

to debunk GOP lies.

[Emile]

22. Should also be in jail for his part on Jan 6th.

He is a fucking traitor to the United States and should face judgement.

[TeamProg]

23. kick

[dlk]

24. Comer is completely lacking in any integrity and would never resign

He'll need to be kicked out.

[JohnSJ]

26. and just who will make him do that with a republican majority in the House.

[RockRaven]

27. Yeah, well, he won't.

So now what?

[yellowdogintexas]

28. Not holding my breath on that one. He represents my home district in KY

and it is mostly farmland. There are two college towns: Bowling Green and Murray. BG went blue in 2020.

The rest of the district is deeply red. He will be primaried if he strays off the path. I have no clue if there is a viable Democrat on the horizon,

[pwb]

30. Remember trump looked into Putins eyes, and believed him

over our own intelligence? Then the little ducklings all lined up behind Humpty.

[budkin]

32. Republicans never resign

It'll never happen.

[Nasruddin]

36. Oh no

He must stay in congress, & we must run against him HARD, both in his district (pure red I'm sure)
and outside it.

[pecosbob]

37. If I were the DNC I would start putting up 'Commissar Comer' billboards across the country.

Sold out his country for a red hat and sneakers.

[creeksneakers2]

39. Comer should be censured

The GOP censured Adam Schiff who did nothing wrong. If Democrats retake the majority they should definitely censure Comer.

[Layzeebeaver]

41. None of this will ever happen

And he will likely never be voted out.

He will die a natural death in office while he kills the nation.

We just need a persistent majority. Focus on that and let him be ignored.

[spanone]

43. K&R

[Bluethroughu]

44. Russian asset.

Traitors every Republican that signed against Biden. All Russian assets.

[turbinetree]

45. And Jim Jordan, Andy Harris, Scott Perry..........and Mike Johnson, Ron Johnson , Ted Cruz........

the list goes on and on...............

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

49. I agree

[Cha]

50. TY Rep Eric Swalwell!!

[flying-skeleton]

54. Good Luck

Good Luck expecting a Republican, any republican to do the honorable thing.

[SunSeeker]

55. K & R & Retweeted!
