Swalwell: If Trump Was Not the President, He Also Would Have Been Indicted Earlier This Week

‘Right now he sees he will not be held accountable for anything he does because he has a Republican Congress’

EXCERPT:

SWALWELL: "I do, Rachel. And as a former prosecutor, I don’t see how you can separate Michael Cohen’s allocution and what he pled to and the person that directed and cooperated with Michael Cohen. I believe that if Donald Trump was not the president of the United States, he also would have been indicted earlier this week. And also there is a theory in the law called corpus delicti, which is that you can’t just take a guilty plea from the defendant unless there is some other evidence. You can't only rely on that defendant's confession. So that means that the prosecutors had other evidence. We’re seeing that now with Mr. Pecker’s evidence. And I think a lot of people are now asking how big is that safe, you know, what’s in that safe and how do we crack it so we know just what else is out there?"
