Beginning of the end for Swallow?

SALT LAKE CITY — Republican leaders publicly discussed the process of impeachment for Utah Attorney General John Swallow during a caucus meeting Wednesday.

A rally was also held Wednesday in the rotunda at the State Capitol Building. The rally was organized by the liberal group, Alliance for a Better Utah. Organizers said the rally was a stand against corruption in the Utah Attorney General’s office, and they are calling for Swallow’s impeachment.

The House Caucus met to discuss what the impeachment process entails.

In an interview with FOX 13, House Speaker Becky Lockhart said it could be potentially historic.

“Some are saying let’s impeach him tomorrow or yesterday if you will, and there are others that say, no, nothing has happened that rises to that level. We need to wait,” she said.

Of the 28 percent who don’t want him impeached now, 62 percent said they want lawmakers to wait until the federal investigation is finished.
