Rep. Swalwell: ‘We Should Begin the Proceedings to Remove the Attorney General’

EXCERPT:

MITCHELL: "And do you worry as a presidential candidate, the political calculus is that that would potentially re-elect him, that it would really rebound -- the backlash would be against Democrats?"
SWALWELL: "Well, I’m talking about Attorney General Barr. I think we should begin the proceedings to remove the attorney general. He is obstructing in realtime right now. And the only way to fully understand what the president did and to hold him accountable is to see the full Mueller report and to have an independent attorney general, not one who is acting as the president’s lawyer. And if he's going to block our access to that information, if he's going to obstruct, to not turn over information, and even go as far as to lie to Congress then he can’t be in that position. And we need to remove him but not take off the table beginning impeachment proceedings against the president as well. But right now the person who is obstructing in realtime from holding the president accountable is William Barr. And I’m calling on my colleagues to join me in beginning proceedings against the attorney general."
