And knew it. And didn't care because he was a solid Trump Hater™.
How does one become a powerhouse attorney is there a credential for that?
[2018]
May I speak to Majority Leader Pelosi please, I’ve been raped by a Democratic Congressman.
Facepalm. This is now about to enter the theater of the absurd.
This sudden and overwhelming abundance of evidence almost certainly means EVERBODY knew about Swalwell and refused to say anything as long as he maintained some political usefulness, just like the brain-dead Biden. I actually don't care what happens to Swalwell, I want to see all the Democrat big-wigs called out. Make them profess to America that they had no idea. Pffft...

Lisa Read Bloom (née Bray; born September 20, 1961) is an American civil rights attorney known for representing high-profile clients in cases involving sexual harassment, discrimination, and abuse. Bloom has represented clients like Janice Dickinson against Bill Cosby, Mischa Barton in a revenge porn case, multiple women whose sexual harassment claims resulted in the firing of Bill O’Reilly from Fox News, and Blac Chyna against Rob Kardashian. She gained attention for briefly advising Harvey Weinstein in 2017, a decision she later apologized for, citing it as a mistake. Bloom also represented women accusing Donald Trump of sexual misconduct during the 2016 election.
Bloom received a bachelor’s degree from UCLA, where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa and was National College Debate Champion. She received her J.D. degree from Yale Law School in 1986.
Amid a series of sexual abuse allegations against powerful men in entertainment and media, and following a BuzzFeed report detailing a sexual harassment settlement [allegedly] paid out of Representative John Conyers’ office budget, Bloom represented Marion Brown, who spoke to BuzzFeed off the record and later came forward publicly to allege harassment by Conyers.
In 2017 Bloom represented three women accusing then-Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly of sexual harassment. Jehmu Greene, a television commentator who had appeared on Fox News, also approached Bloom with sexual harassment allegations against O’Reilly, although she ultimately declined Bloom’s services. One of Bloom’s clients, Wendy Walsh, filed the complaint that led Fox News’ parent company, 21st Century Fox, to initiate an investigation that resulted in O’Reilly’s dismissal and the end of his eponymous program.
During the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Bloom offered to represent four women who alleged sexual misconduct by then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. Two of these women came forward publicly with their allegations, including Jill Harth and Lisa Boyne.
On November 2, 2016, Bloom canceled a press conference with the unnamed client, saying the client was scared because of death threats. According to Bloom, after this press conference, multiple donors contacted her with offers to cover accusers’ relocation and security. Bloom felt an obligation to relay the offers to her clients. The Virginia woman said that donors had offered her as much as $750,000, but that she declined the offer. In a 2017 report, The New York Times identified the donors who contacted Bloom as David Brock’s American Bridge 21st Century, which offered $200,000, and Susie Tompkins Buell, who offered $500,000.
Following a controversial 2017 photo shoot in which comedienne Kathy Griffin clenched a severed and bloodied mask that resembled the face of President Donald Trump, Bloom held a joint press conference with Griffin, then her client, to address the controversy.
On May 1, 2020, Bloom posted on Twitter that although she believed Tara Reade was assaulted by the former vice president Joe Biden, she would still support Biden.
On August 15, 2024, the Department of Justice announced that Lisa Bloom and Braden Pollock, senior managers at The Bloom Firm, agreed to pay $274,000 to settle allegations under the False Claims Act. The settlement resolves claims that the firm falsely certified the use of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan funds for eligible payroll expenses, while actually using the funds to pay ineligible employees. The Bloom Firm will pay $204,200.34, with Bloom and Pollock each paying $35,384.49.

“California had a rapist as a representative? Sounds about right”
And Arizona has a Senator who is / was a Swallowswell wingman who has some question marks about him.
Bloom in 2009.
Swalwell is despicable. However am very tired of posts that boldly announce that so and so is about to make a bombshell prounouncent very soon that will shake the world. Can any Freeper cite an example when such a bombshell prediction actually resulted in a real revelation?
Effing demonicRATS.
You mean, “regret is not rape” goes a bit deeper?
and you can bet that Ruben Gallego was involved, he was in that room during the sex orgy
Any media organization placing any Ford on television for a comment should be banned from media outlet production and have its licenses revoked.
I cannot stand Swallwell, but I ain’t buying the drug and rape accusation. Sounds Blasey-Ford-y......or even Julie Swetnick “ Brett Kavanaugh was standing by the punch bowl at the DKE frat party, where I’d been drugged and raped in the past....using spiked punch.”.......
Or I was raped in the dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman store because I looked like Marla Maples.!!!!!
I have no doubt that Swalwell is a real sleeze bag and proven liar, and security risk. But I must ask myself, why did this come out years later and at a time his presence in the governors race would almost assure a Republican governor? In my mind unless convinced by great evidence that is “reasonable doubt.”
This has Nancy Pelosi written all over it.
