Swalwell: Democracy Is ‘Under Assault’ by the Russians and by ‘Trump and His Fixers in Congress’

EXCERPT:

COOPER: "You mentioned all the times that the President has made claims that didn’t hold up. Do you think he’s still got what he wanted out of this? I mean, he and his surrogates were able to tweet and go on TV and say 'spy' and 'Spygate' and 'spy' ring over and over again."
SWALWELL: "Oh, certainly. For him this is just a public relations campaign to try to and undermine the special counsel’s work, but for the country, what we’re seeing is that democracy is under assault from two fronts now. It has always been under assault from the Russians since they attacked us, but now it is under assault by President Trump and his fixers in Congress, something that we have never seen before. I think the public sentiment has to stay loud on this. As long as people put pressure on their lawmakers, they will have to speak up. If not, they will be held accountable."
