Eric Swalwell (D-CA) Pressures Special Counsel Robert Hur to Condemn Trump \u2063During Hearing<\/h2>\n<p>During a Tuesday hearing \u2063on Capitol Hill, \u200dRep. \u2064Eric\u2062 Swalwell \u2062(D-CA) took the opportunity to \u200dlay out a case against former President Donald Trump. However, Swalwell&#8217;s frustration became apparent\u200c when Special Counsel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/robert-hur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robert Hur<\/a> refused to assist him in his efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Hur was testifying about his investigation\u2062 into President Joe Biden and his handling of classified documents. Instead of focusing on that topic, Swalwell treated the hearing\u200d as another Trump impeachment trial and asked Hur\u200d to condemn the former president.<\/p>\n<h3>Watch the video below:<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WATCH: Congressman Eric\u2063 Swalwell uses his time \u2063to bash Trump and falsely state that Trump \u200dwants \u2062to stop legal immigration and tries to get Special Counsel Hur to condemn Trump and \u2062he\u2019s having none of it!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not here to talk about Trump, I\u2019m\u2062 here \u200dto talk about\u2064 this report\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/D3vNXJMaXt\">pic.twitter.com\/D3vNXJMaXt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2062 \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8Travis\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@Travis_in_Flint) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Travis_in_Flint\/status\/1767584256253993211?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 12, \u200d2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Swalwell began by discussing\u2064 Hur&#8217;s personal history, \u2063expressing admiration for his\u2062 parents&#8217; immigrant \u2064story. However, within seconds, Swalwell shifted his \u2063focus to attacking Trump, claiming that the\u2063 former president would\u2064 halt all \u200cimmigration if given another chance \u2063in \u2062the White House.<\/p>\n<p>He stated, &#8220;It\u2019s\u200d the story of \u200bAmerica. It\u2019s a story \u200bthat \u200dthe guy who appointed \u200byou would end if he was put in charge again,&#8221; disregarding the distinction between legal and illegal immigration and suggesting that all Republicans supported Trump \u2062on \u2064this\u200c issue.<\/p>\n<p>Swalwell then asked\u200d Hur if he wanted his report on the Biden investigation to be seen \u2063as credible. However,\u2062 he immediately implied that in\u2064 order for the \u200creport to \u200dhave credibility, Hur would have to disavow Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Swalwell\u2064 listed a series of charges against \u2064Trump, including impeachment, incitement of insurrection, possession of classified documents, obstruction of justice,\u200b payment for the silence of a porn \u2064star, and involvement in the events of January 6th. He even accused Trump of being\u2063 a rapist.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Swalwell then turned to Hur \u2063and asked if he would pledge not to accept \u2063an \u200cappointment\u200b from Trump if he\u2063 were \u200bto be elected president again.\u2063 Hur pushed back, stating that he was not\u200b there to speculate on future events.<\/p>\n<p>Swalwell interrupted, insisting that it should\u2062 be an easy answer considering \u200bthe\u2062 accusations he\u2062 had \u2064just made. However, Hur remained firm, stating, &#8220;I\u2019m not\u2064 here\u2062 to\u2064 talk about\u200b Trump; I\u2019m here to talk about this report, which investigated Biden.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How did \u200cSwalwell&#8217;s actions during the \u200dhearing demonstrate his\u2062 obsession with\u200c former President Trump?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Tus\/1461535635711266305?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&#8221;>November 19,\u2064 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swalwell&#8217;s relentless attempt to steer the hearing towards Trump&#8217;s actions\u200c demonstrates \u200bthe continued obsession that\u200d some lawmakers have \u200bwith the former \u200bpresident. \u200dDespite the fact \u200bthat\u2064 Trump is\u200b no longer in office, Swalwell and others like him seem unable to move on and focus on the current administration&#8217;s\u200d actions and policies.<\/p>\n<p>It is concerning\u200c that Swalwell would use valuable hearing \u200ctime to perpetuate false statements about Trump&#8217;s immigration policies. The claim that \u2062Trump wants\u2063 to stop legal immigration is \u200bunsubstantiated and has been repeatedly debunked. It \u200bis disheartening to see a member\u200c of Congress \u200cspreading misinformation and using a hearing \u2064as \u200ca \u200dplatform\u2063 for partisan \u2064attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Hur, to \u200bhis credit, remained steadfast in \u2062his refusal to engage \u2063in Swalwell&#8217;s political theatrics. He rightfully stated that he was present\u2064 to discuss the report\u2062 at hand, not to delve \u2062into unrelated matters. This response reflects well on Hur&#8217;s professionalism \u2063and commitment to impartiality.<\/p>\n<p>The continued attempts by\u200c some lawmakers to vilify Trump long\u200d after he\u2064 has left office only serve to further divide the country.
