House Ethics Committee concludes probe into Rep. Eric Swalwell’s interaction with suspected Chinese spy

The House Ethics Committee closed its two-year-long investigation into Rep. Eric Swalwell’s ties to suspected Chinese spy Christine Fang on Tuesday and said it will take no action against the California Democrat.

“As you are aware, on April 9, 2021, the Committee on Ethics informed you that it had determined to investigate allegations raised in the complaint that you may have violated House Rules, laws, or other standards of conduct in connection with your interactions with Ms. Christine Fang. The Committee will take no further action in this matter,” read a letter to Swalwell from Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest (R-Miss.) and ranking member Susan Wild (D-Pa.).

The letter, released by Swalwell, warned that “Members should be conscious of the possibility that foreign governments may attempt to secure improper influence through gifts and other interactions.”

Fang, also known as “Fang-Fang,” is a purported honeytrap who entered the US from China as a college student in 2011 and allegedly spent the next four years wooing lawmakers to get close to sensitive government intelligence — including Swalwell.

More evidence—as if we need it—that congressional Republicans are the Washington Generals.

Yeah, just like the Generals, it’s all on purpose. They totally suck and they’re a BIG part of our problem.

The House Ethics Committee closed its two-year-long investigation into Rep. Eric Swalwell’s ties to suspected Chinese spy Christine Fang on Tuesday and said it will take no action against the California Democrat because it’s OK for those in Congress to play grab ass with Chinese spies.

Unbelievable, she was financing his crap and they were traveling together everywhere.

The FBi refused to brief Congress about three times. Probably never happened.

They notified him, as they did with Feinstein. They did not contact Trump when they falsely claimed Volunteer Papadopolous and they fraudulently told courts that Carter Page was working for Foreign Nations nefariously.

Oh it all worked just fine for Eric, he gets caught in a honey trap, gets to enjoy all the nasty and our congress sweeps it all right under the rug. No penalty at all.

So sick of this. Imagine if it was say, Matt Gaetz or anyone from our side what the dems would have done?

Fartwell. Never forget how China has infiltrated the USA from the top right on down to local industries. For several weeks there was a Chinese national on the Biden USSS detail and I saw the pictures. Just amazing.

That’s a bingo! In other words, the majority of that party are rinos and are controlled opposition.

Sounds like the House “Ethics” Committee jerks are planning on setting themselves up with Red Chinese spies in the future.
