Democratic presidential contender Eric Swalwell said that he doesn’t want to rush into impeachment proceedings against President Trump.

The 38-year-old congressman from California said on “Fox News Sunday” that Democrats will only have “one shot” at finding Trump culpable of impeachable offenses and warned that the process shouldn’t be rushed.

“I was a prosecutor, and I know when I go to court, I got to have my pencil sharpened, my subpoenas ready, and my witnesses and exhibits ready to go,” said Swalwell, a House Intelligence Committee member and cable news staple who is a frequent Trump critic.

“You only get one shot at this,” he said. “I want to make sure we get it right. I think that means first getting the full Mueller report unredacted, getting Mueller to testify himself, getting people like Don McGahn in and so we are pressing that, and we are winning in the courts right now."





“The president is outnumbered with the subpoena power and the court rulings that are on our side, I think that's a road we go down, but we are not going to do Donald Trump justice here because we only get one shot to make sure the rule of law still stands in America,” Swalwell added.

Swalwell announced his bid for the presidency in April and is a leading voice among those claiming the president colluded with Russia during the 2016 campaign. He is polling low, bringing in less than 1% support nationally.
