5. Eric Swalwell:

   You can be the President's defense attorney or America's Attorney General, but you can't be both, he came to this job already biased. Today, he made a show of allegiance to the President over The American people by declaring' no collusion' and excusing the President on the basis of his emotional state. He has proved that he's an embedded Donald Trump ally who puts this President's political future above of the rule of law. That makes him unfit to serve. He must resign.
