Democrat Fearful Of Trump Arresting Him?

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), one of President Donald Trump’s loudest critics, is sounding the alarm as he openly admitted Thursday that he fully expects to be prosecuted by the Trump administration for his relentless attacks against the White House.

In a fiery interview on CNN, Swalwell declared he “won’t be silenced” and accused President Trump of trying to intimidate his political enemies.

“I’m ready for it. I fully expect it,” Swalwell said when asked if he fears facing prosecution for his criticisms of President Trump.

Swalwell & Schiff Named at the Top of Trump’s Target List

Swalwell revealed that FBI Director Kash Patel, who was appointed under the Trump administration, recently wrote a bombshell book identifying 60 so-called ‘government gangsters’ who should be investigated for corruption and abuse of power.

According to Swalwell, both he and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) were ranked “at the very top” of the list — described as the two worst offenders.

“Adam Schiff is already being investigated, and I know my turn is coming,” Swalwell said. “But I won’t back down or run and hide. If I give in — if Adam Schiff gives in — then why wouldn’t everyday Americans do the same? That’s their goal: to intimidate people and silence opposition.”

Swalwell vowed to continue fighting to return Democrats to the majority, claiming it’s the only way to “stop the corruption” he says is overtaking the Trump administration.

Trump Turns Up the Heat on DOJ

Swalwell’s dramatic comments came just hours after President Trump turned up public pressure on the Justice Department, urging them to take action against longtime political enemies — including Schiff and former FBI Director James Comey.

On Thursday morning, Trump told reporters he didn’t know whether the DOJ would pursue charges against Comey. By Thursday afternoon, Comey was formally indicted, marking a major win for Trump’s supporters who have long demanded accountability.

Over the weekend, Trump unleashed a scathing social media post, writing that “nothing is being done” to hold people like Schiff and Comey accountable, adding:

“They’re all guilty as hell.”

This fight traces back to Comey’s September 30, 2020 congressional testimony, when he was grilled over the Russia investigation that targeted Trump’s 2016 campaign. The statute of limitations on Comey’s testimony was set to expire Tuesday, putting the DOJ on a strict deadline to act.

Swalwell Confronts FBI Director – Gets Shut Down

During a heated congressional hearing last week, Swalwell directly challenged Patel about the individuals listed in his book and demanded that Patel recuse himself from overseeing any investigations into those named — including Swalwell himself.

Patel didn’t hold back in his response, shredding Swalwell on live TV:

“I’m going to borrow your terminology and call bulls— on your entire career in Congress,” Patel said bluntly.

Why This Matters to Everyday Americans

This escalating battle highlights the deep divide in Washington — and President Trump’s push to drain the swamp by holding powerful government insiders accountable.

For many conservatives, these developments represent long-overdue justice after years of political witch hunts, fake investigations, and government overreach targeting Trump and his supporters.

Swalwell’s public meltdown shows just how desperate and fearful some Democrats have become as the Trump administration signals that real accountability may finally be coming.

Bottom Line

The coming weeks could reshape the future of Washington. As Trump’s DOJ ramps up investigations and high-profile indictments begin to drop, Democrats like Swalwell and Schiff may face the very scrutiny they once unleashed on Trump.

Stay tuned — this story is just beginning, and the political stakes couldn’t be higher.
