Eric Swalwell makes a complete idiot of himself in hearing

Watch the embedded video in the link. Eric Swalwell asks Mr. Lyon from ICE a series of complex questions (aka "Do you still beat your wife" questions) and uses fallacious scenarios loaded with lies and hyperbole while getting his ass handed to him by Mr. Lyon's answers. It's embarrassing that we have such morons running--ruining?--our nation. How stupid are the people that elected that idiot, and more than once?

 
I think anyone speaking out against a white supremacist army comprised of a poorly trained goon-like militia armed for Fallujah is patriotic and should keep it up.

Sorry you're not, TA. You love secret police goon squads terrorizing innocent people. This is why you suck as a human.

That's what you get for thinking. I recommend you stop as you do it poorly. And, you're still not sorry, you're pathetic.

My thinking has never been more clear. I know the difference between right and wrong. You consider anything that antagonizes your political enemies a good thing, no matter how un-American it is.

You claim to be law-abiding and that Democrats are not, yet trump pardons the most notorious drug trafficker, moves one of the most notorious child sex-traffickers to a cushy prison in exchange for her clearing trump and pardons 1,500 insurrections that attacked us.

Sorry, man. You suck

Not only is that completely wrong, it doesn't address the issue of the thread. Eric Swalwell tried to use his time to play "gotcha!" with Mr. Lyons. He didn't ask a single useful question but rather tried what amounts to entrapment--which failed miserably--and then shaming. The issue is clearly political when this sort of stupidity is happening.

What questions?
 
How about one question you think is leading?
Let's start with his opening question.

Swalwell starts off with this unverified, and in my opinion, dubious anecdote. I call it dubious because you don't see US Representatives chatting it up with grocery cashiers every day.

Swalwell: A couple of nights ago, I met with a woman who works as a cashier at a grocery store, and I told her I was coming to see you, Mr. Lyons. And she said, "Will you ask him"--and she didn't want to give her name. She was terrified to give her name--But she said, "When I get off my shift at midnight and walk through the parking lot to my car," She said, "If somebody rolls up in an unidentified van and gets out wearing all black, and their faces (are) covered (and) they don't have any identification, and ask me to get in the van, how do I know who they are?"

How does she know Mr. Lyons?

How does she know if they're an ICE agent or bad guys?


Mr. Lyons: Sir, ICE agents have identifiable placards on their uniforms as well as their badges representative. But you won't see ICE agents rolling though parking lots and just snatching someone up. ICE does intelligence driven, targeted, enforcement operations.

Swalwell's anecdote smells like week old fish. Maybe she was a cheap date, given Swalwell's history of those things?

That aside, Mr. Lyons' answer demolishes his leading question. And it is a leading question as Swalwell gives the answer he's looking for in his diatribe.

When that falls flat on its face, Swalwell shifts to a new line of attack having failed miserably with his first. He gives no follow up question.
