Reps. Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff blamed Donald Trump and Russia’s influence on the GOP for losing their positions on the House Intelligence Committee.
Rep. Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff appeared on MSNBC's "The ReidOut" to discuss their recent ejections from the House Intelligence Committee by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
"I feel like you, in Kevin McCarthy’s mind, committed the greater crime, which was presiding over the impeachment of Donald Trump. I can’t find any legitimate reason why you would not be on this committee other than that. Can you?" Reid asked.JUDGE JEANINE: ‘ERIC SWALWELL SHOULDN’T BE ANYWHERE NEAR THE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE’"No, I can’t," Schiff answered.
Swalwell agreed,"So, yes, we are concerned that, you know, there is a sympathy for or a desire to, you know, do Putin’s bidding instead of America’s and then you see more and more people in their conference voting against Ukraine funding or support for Ukraine and I think that’s a part of this corrupt bargain is that McCarthy has agreed to defund the troops by $75 billion because many on his side ask for that.
