The California Congressman is a gift to the Republican Party. Just yesterday morning our Deanna spread the news about the California Teachers Association giving its endorsement to Congressman Eric Swalwell. As she said, that is a coveted endorsement. Deanna also mentioned that the FBI was going through and redacting documents from a previous investigation. To try to cut off any other problems and further encroachments, the Congressman has sent a pouty cease and desist letter to the FBI and Director Kash Patel regarding the matter of Miss Fang Fang. I would be far more worried about the emitting certain sounds on television.

Of course, Fartwell wants to be the California Governor. One of 435 in the party out of power. Bah! Better to be Governor of a huge, gorgeous state. Am I right? Naturally, I am. But, Eric Swalwell’s past may catch up with him. After all, how many Congressmen have dated a Chinese spy? Remember?

Attorneys for Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-California) demanded Monday in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that the bureau refrain from releasing decade-old investigative files involving the congressman’s purported ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative.

The congressman called for the FBI to agree within three days not to release the files, adding that any further action to release them could prompt him to take legal action. The cease-and-desist letter followed a report from The Washington Post over the weekend that Patel had dispatched agents to review and redact the files in a potential move to ready them for a public release.

I think it’s a mistake to threaten Kash Patel with a good time, but that’s me:

Swalwell was not accused of any wrongdoing when the FBI investigated him and the suspected spy, Christine Fang, a decade ago. Swalwell’s congressional office said it had immediately cut ties with Fang when federal agents informed him in 2015 that they were concerned she might be an intelligence operative. More recently, the Republican-led House Ethics Committee closed a two-year investigation into the congressman in 2023 without taking any action.

Swalwell’s attorneys said in their letter that there was no justification for releasing the files, especially since the congressman had assisted the FBI in its investigation.

“The congressman has never been accused of wrongdoing in that matter and your attempt to release the file is a transparent attempt to smear him and undermine his campaign for governor of California,” the letter said. “Your actions threaten to expose you, others at the FBI, and the FBI itself to significant legal liability.”

Here are additional details from the California Post:

Swalwell held a press conference Monday, insisting the “case is closed” and accused Patel as a “temporary employee” engaged in a “horrendous abuse of power” in digging up the investigative files about him and and Christine Fang — a suspected Chinese Communist Party asset who cultivated ties with the East Bay rep starting when he was a Dublin city council member.

“Temporary employee”???? Aren’t Congressman, too? More:

Fang, also known as “Fang Fang,” was a student at California State University East Bay who began schmoozing Swalwell at events, Axios reported in 2020, even bundling donations for his campaign and recommending interns for his office.

Trump officials ordered FBI agents to compile records of the decade-old investigation of Swalwell’s ties to Fang, who reportedly left the US in 2015 after worming her way into Swalwell’s orbit and carrying on romantic or sexual relationships with two midwestern mayors, per Axios.

Sean Hecker and Norman L. Eisen, Attorneys for Swalwell, called the move a “smear attempt” to undermine his run for governor, adding that releasing the files would violate the Privacy Act of 1974, The Washington Post Reported.

Threat to President Trump? If there is no smoke or fire there, why can’t we see the redacted files?

Neither Eric Swalwell nor his attorneys are as smart as they think they are. Good times.

Remember when Swalwell farted on television. The toot that keeps on giving.

REMEMBER this? The most intelligent thing to ever come out of Eric Fartwell – errrr…. Swalwell… @ericswalwell ….

The Congressman used to look clean, but since that toot he has worn a rather dirty look. Oof! Plus, he pouts too much.

Then, there is this kind of thing:

Well…It was Fartwell, the scumbag who threatened to use NUKES against American citizens who don't comply. pic.twitter.com/En0I96BFJq

This was epic:

U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell on Friday said the U.S. government would use its nuclear weapons in a hypothetical war against Second Amendment supporters refusing to give up their firearms.

The California Democrat, who is openly considering a run for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in 2020, made the outlandish remark on social media after a gun-rights advocate pointed out that the lawmaker once called for gun owners to surrender their assault weapons.

“So basically @RepSwalwell wants a war. Because that’s what you would get. You’re outta your f—— mind if you think I’ll give up my rights and give the [government] all the power,” Joe Biggs tweeted at Swalwell.

This prompted Swalwell to defend himself, saying it would be a “short war” because “the government has nukes,” implying the government would use its nuclear arsenal against its own citizens.

Nuking U.S. citizens and pouting. Much more worrisome than the Fang Fang Files.
