BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said that if President Trump refuses to send the documents and witnesses that House Democrats requested in the impeachment inquiry, “We can only conclude that you’re guilty,” sparking critics on Twitter to accuse him of suggesting the president is guilty until proven innocent.
“In America, innocent men do not hide and conceal evidence,” Swalwell added, in his conversation with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “They are forthcoming and they want to cooperate and the president is acting like a very guilty person right now. I also believe that if an individual is being investigating by law enforcement agency and they hire an attorney, that alone proves they are guilty. In my opinion, people who hire a criminal defense attorney are always guilty, and people running from crime scenes should be arrested and jailed, even if they are fleeing from a building that was set on fire by a deranged arsonist.”
