Rep. Eric Swalwell On Russian Bounty Reports: ‘It’s Not A Hoax’ | The Last Word | MSNBC

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who has reviewed many of the classified reports detailing Russian bounties on U.S. soldiers, says “people should be concerned about the allegations.” And as more Republicans speak out over Donald Trump’s lack of response to the reports, Rep. Swalwell tells Lawrence O’Donnell “talk is cheap” and that action from those on the other side of the aisle is “very, very hard to find.”

  1. President Bone Spurs, our “Coward in Chief” is terrified of Putin, so he will not do anything to support our military.

    1. Speaking of exceedingly gross and unhealthy food, what is Donald John Trump’s favorite seafood?

      Donald John Trump’s favorite seafood is of course the fishy Ukrainian national dish Squid pro Quo 🎃 🍲 🦑

    2. I don’t think Trump is terrified of Putin. The reason why Trump is pro Russia is because when he leaves office, he wants to have business deals with Putin in Russia. Trump is sick in the head.

    3. I don’t think Trump is scared. The Russians promised a 5% share in Rosneft when Trump has fulfilled his task in destabilising the Atlantic Alliance

  2. Trump a true traitor.. his refusal to add more and even stronger sanctions do something to Russia 🇷🇺 is self admittance!!

    1. @Chris Morrison Bonespur is going to raise it with Putin when they next have pillow talks.

    2. @ArgentinoDeLaVilla ComeRatas Putin and Trump are both minions of the devil, and both will spend eternity in the lake of fire. Dasvidaniya.

    1. Now that’s not true……..he only thinks the negative things are a hoax!!🤣🤣 If it’s a positive but not true?? He’s taking the credit and announcing said lie/ hoax is “so true” 🙄🙄

  3. GOP is willing to sit quiet and let our troops be murdered all to protect Trump and Putin.

    1. Katherine M. Yes and can u believe that he got upset abt calling him Moscow Mitch? He’s disgusting and Kentucky has to do the right thing and get rid of another traitor!!!!

  4. History will NOT be kind to the Republicans that support this abomination of an administration

    1. But, will they actully care. Some will retire early “to spend more time with their family”. Others will get very well paid private work. Live in comfort/with the best health care money can provide. Some will wait for the dust to settle and get the book deal done.

    2. History won’t be nice to the administration that put general Flynn for no reason in jail for 4 years even though he was innocent. Let’s stop overreacting to an anonymous source from the New York Times again how many times will people fall for it ?

  5. Remember last year when Trump wanted a Red Square style military parade for the 4th of July? He knew about the bounties even then. Pathetic monster.

    1. M L. : But, what really gets me is; A single phone call, America. He could have called to say, “This is not yet confirmed, but warn our Troops.” How HARD is THAT? Treason, or Criminal Incompetence? Does it matter? Remove him. TODAY!

  6. The fact that these things happen aren’t strange.The C.I.A. funds many black ops abroad, through offshore slush accounts, to achieve it’s goals as well.The problem with this is that the filthy orange pig in charge decided to ignore the reports so he wouldn’t have to give Putin an annoying phone call.

    1. This president should be accountable for such a failure. There is no excuse. The
      same thing happen with the pandemic, the president fell asleep, he called it a hoax, it would go away in a week.
      This president is a mentally a sick man, irrational and a complete failure, like with his own record nothing but failures .

  7. Trump’s excuse of not knowing means that he has to take action, but if they dispute the intelligence, no action is needed. One more win for Putin

    1. In any case there is no such thing as 100% Intel, that’s the nature of the beast. But with Intel of this significance, the CinC _must_ be alerted so he/she can make appropriate choices in their ongoing relations with Russia. There’s simply no way he wouldn’t have been informed, but he won’t even take responsibility in saying he heard it and assessed it to be unsound. He has no reason to deny knowledge if the Intel is genuinely insufficient; as you say his denial of awareness is simply cover for his inaction.

    2. You can’t call it hoax the body of evidence in the money transfer and lives lost. Trump you’re a traitor! 😈🤑😡👎

  8. There are but 2 parties now Traitors & Patriots.- U.S . Grant
    Vote Biden !
    Vote Democracy !
    Vote American Working People .

  9. This is messed up and it is nothing to joke about this is very serious they are destroying this country and getting away with it never saw so much stuff going on in this Administration this is not the way this country is supposed to be run not the United States of America Nixon was not this bad jmw

  10. You know this is not a hoax because Donald Trump called it a hoax,
    And everything Donald Trump says is always the exact opposite of the truth.
    ALWAYS.

    1. Quite the contrary, if anything it’s always an anonymous source leaks this and the media takes it and runs it with it. They need a new gimmick cause it’s getting old 🥱

  11. What do you expect? Republicans wear and sell shirts that say “Better to be Russian than Democrat.”

  12. Ok so it’s time now for us to know who is actually running the country cause it ain’t Trump

  13. I can not tell a lie “George Washington “
    I can not tell the truth “Donald trump “
    I can not tell the difference “replublican senators “

    1. I can not tell a lie “George Washington “
      I can not tell the truth “Donald trump “
      I can not tell the difference “Republican senators ”
      I can not tell Vlad to stop offering a bounty for killing our troops
