California candidate for governor Eric Swalwell insisted “the case is closed” at an abrupt news conference — as FBI Director Kash Patel threatens to release investigative files about a suspected Chinese spy who infiltrated his office.
“This case is closed — the bureau said, over 10 years ago, all we did was help,” Swalwell said in brief remarks Monday outside the Phillip Burton Federal Building in San Francisco.
The East Bay rep was surrounded by SEIU union officials as he blasted FBI Director Kash Patel as a “temporary employee” engaged in a “horrendous abuse of power” in digging up the investigative files about Swalwell and Christine Fang, a suspected Chinese Communist Party asset who cultivated ties with Swalwell starting when he was a Dublin city council member.
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.
The order “alarmed” some investigators, the New York Times reported — partly because the files are “extensive” and include a substantial amount of classified and private information.
Swalwell is considered the Democratic frontrunner in the race for California governor and accused Trump and Patel of “weaponizing” federal law enforcement to meddle in the race.

Do it! Make him finish 3rd in the Calif. primary.
That's what the Rosenbergs said.
Eric’s a prime example of how stupid California govt is these days.
And to think we gave the nation a Ronald Reagan.
Swalwell needs a job cleaning stables.
No matter what office he holds or gets elected to it will always be:
Fang Fang grabbed his
Wang Wang
And he did
Bang Bang
And then he
Sang Sang
Plenty of smoke from someone who has nothing to hide.
Hell, he’d even screw that up.
He should be waiting for tricks on Crenshaw blvd.
Don’t threaten to release files,
merely release files.
Eric should share a cell with Letitia. Oh, and Omar. She’s the one who married her brother.
Well gee Swallowwell, if there is nothing to see here moving on, lets see the files..I mean his side is always calling saying RELEASE THE FILES, so let’s see the files. I want to know if this dirt bag slept with fang fang in his wife’s bed and gave her classified intel which she gave to Xi
Celebrate "Republicans Freed the Slaves" month.
They’re coming to get him... coming to get him...
That’s Lincoln’s birthday and / or Emancipation Proclamation Day. Some random local thing like Texas’ Juneteenth is BS.
Agree. Stop threatening and never doing.
Hopefully he would get a kick out of it. 🐎🐎
NO ONE CAN FIND AN ACTUAL RESIDENCE ADDRESS FOR HIM IN CALIF:
PLUS-—STATE LAW==YOU MUST BE A RESIDENT FOR 5 YEARS TO QUALIFY TO BE GOVERNOR.
Good one. You missed the cut off date for the latest Best American Poetry but maybe next time.
Goes along with the old William Carlos Williams lines from Asphodel, That Greeny Flower (1962):
It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there.
Maybe so, but since it has common usage, we might as well hijack the term, and get the truth out about the party of slavery.
It might well overshadow the wimpy meaning of Juneteenth.
