"(Alex Brandon | Credit: AP) Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) warned White House chief of staff Susie Wiles he was going on the offense and demanded she save her sh*t as he vowed an investigation into her comments made to Vanity Fair about whether President Donald Trump is weaponizing the justice system."
"I want you to hear from me first. I'm going on offense against Donald Trump, and I just put senior Trump officials on notice, Swalwell said. Donald Trump once again is trying to weaponize the Department of Justice to go after his enemies list. That's me, Adam Schiff, Tish James, and (Federal Reserve Governor) Lisa Cook."
"I mean, people could think it does look vindictive. I can't tell you why you shouldn't think that, she said, adding of Trump: I don't think he wakes up thinking about retribution. But when there's an opportunity, he will go for it. On James, Wiles was even more blunt: Well, that might be the one retribution."
Rep. Eric Swalwell warned White House chief of staff Susie Wiles that he was going on the offense and demanded she "save her sh*t" while vowing an investigation into her Vanity Fair comments about President Trump weaponizing the justice system. Swalwell said he formally put senior Trump officials on notice after Wiles' remarks appeared to concede retribution against perceived enemies. Swalwell named himself, Adam Schiff, Tish James and Lisa Cook as targets of alleged DOJ weaponization. Wiles acknowledged the optics of prosecutions of critics could look vindictive and said Trump would go for retribution when opportunities arise.
