Well we got one productive statement out of a Democrat today – Eric Swalwell admitted that he doesn’t care about the payments Trump made to his mistresses, and nobody else does either.
Watch below:
“Frankly, I don’t really care too much about the payoffs to the women. I don’t think most people do either,” Swalwell said.
Swalwell put his focus on Roger Stone, a political ally and informal adviser to Trump, and concluded that Stone must have talked to Trump about WikiLeaks, the web site accused of obtaining hacked DNC emails from Russian operatives.
“As it relates to Russia, we learned that the president was in contact with Roger Stone. We saw in our investigation that all the evidence pointed in that direction and they talked throughout the campaign and that it would have been unnatural if Roger Stone didn’t share his conversations with WikiLeaks,” Swalwell said.
I think this is truly weird because there’s definitely evidence that he paid off the women he cheated with before the election, and there’s very little evidence about Russian collusion, but Swalwell is totally giving up on the former in favor for the latter. Maybe he knows that even then it would be tough to prove that Trump paid them off in order to influence the election, rather than simply keep it from Melania, who would stab him with an Estonian scimitar or something.
