Let him push his trial date to whenever he wants ... on the condition that he is jailed until it begins. Watch Donny change his mind!

[ravgm]

First expunge Donnie being president then throw him in common jail. Save money on secret service.

[richarduhde]

An innocent person would want a speedy trial to clear their name, especially if one is running for the highest office. Also, anyone who feels that they are truly presidential material would jump at the chance to debate his opponents publicly, which trump doesn't have the balls to do.

[christopherweise]

Go ahead and expunge it (which isn't a real we will all remember.

[KernowekTim]

Balls the size of mice, brains the size of rice, common-sense of lice. That's GOP.

[tdinh]

I agree once you are innocent, you want a speedy trial to prove that you are innocent not to delay it, makes a lot of sense

[MAGABASHER]

Please do it! We need to revisit those crimes for everyone to see.

[AllieSheffield]

Dreadful, only words can describe Trump, McCarthy and GOP!

[davidclark]

I cannot believe that their is not one republican patriot in congress who has their heads straight. They should all be encouraging the law system to prove a fair trial for trumps crimes. They should not be lying to make it6 look like it is political when I as a citizen can see clearly the serious crimes trump committed.

[d.f.]

If he was ever once held accountable this would end.

[tomkatdj]

Let them put their names to it……after he’s convicted history will remember their names

[pizzaishappiness]

"Predictably pathetic", that's the GOP.

[tdrewman]

Expunge somebody's record for something he's about to get federally indicted for, way to go gqp

[sparkysmalarkey]

Embarrassment doesn't wash out but they are welcome to rub that stain in further.

[pintogallo]

I was born in blackout while the U.S. was fighting fascism in. Europe and the Pacific, I was there in Vietnam as we tried to stop the further spread of authoritary rule and here I am an old may an Republicans want to overthrow democracy and install a criminal dictator and the very type of system that we fought and died to protect the world from.

[srirapaka]

Expunging the impeachments would be an fu to the Capitol Hill Police who protected the lawmakers

[Dabebo-xkbt]

Would you sell your soul to the devil? Most republican representatives answer, yes I already sold it to the devil, Donald Trump.

[whodey]

Thank god McCarthy is tackling the big issues instead of petty things like poverty and education.

[bryan_wofford]

Eric Swalwell is surely one of our greatest legislators, and he's an even greater human being. An exceedingly sincere, honorable role model for others … I admire him so. Thank you, Eric. I so wish we had more like you. Our world would be an infinitely better place.♥

[neptunesdreams]

Expunging Trump's impeachments would be like "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil."
🙈🙉🙊
Yet the EVIL would still be there, stronger than ever for having been ignored.
