While this suspected operative’s activities appear to have ended during the Obama administration, concerns about Beijing’s influence operations have spanned President Trump’s time in office and will continue to be a core focus for U.S. counterintelligence during the Biden administration.
…Among the most significant targets of Fang’s efforts was Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.).
Fang took part in fundraising activity for Swalwell’s 2014 re-election campaign, according to a Bay Area political operative and a current U.S. intelligence official.
Swalwell’s office was directly aware of these activities on its behalf, the political operative said.
Fang helped place at least one intern in Swalwell’s office, according to those same two people, and interacted with Swalwell at multiple events over the course of several years.
A statement from Swalwell’s office provided to Axios said: “Rep. Swalwell, long ago, provided information about this person — whom he met more than eight years ago, and whom he hasn’t seen in nearly six years — to the FBI.
To protect information that might be classified, he will not participate in your story.”
How about expelled from congress? How about prosecuted?
BFD, Kevin......you WUSS!
No democrat should be on any committee, period. Let them pound sand.
Let AOC tend the congressional bar.
I’ve seen earthworms with more backbone than McCarthy.
You know. Like Lavrentiy Beria said:
Expelled takes 2/3rds, won’t happen no matter what.
Prosecuted is a little more complicated, but the gist is the system is deferential to those who control the system.
That’s the big threat? Kicking AS off the committee?
Very sad but true!
Sounds like a campaign year promise.
I thought the Fang thing invovled another "inter-" word.
unlawful entry into the capital?
The left says that is INSURRECTION!!!
I feel confident the justice department is right on top of it!
That’s degrading to earthworms...
POS BACKSTABBING SOB! Russia PLEZZZZZZ NUKE DC! Please take us out of our misery 🙏🏻
McCarthy has been making the rounds lately with same talking points. I sense that some congressmen have told McCarthy to get/sound tough or come January he won’t be speaker. Sorry, he lost his chance. Someone from the Freedom caucus or Donald Trump should be the next speaker.
That actually is bold for him. I think that is the maximum possible for him.
I've noticed.
He needs to learn how to handle his own renegades that leave the reservation 🤪
I guess with all those Democrats behind him, this Assistant Democrat will get the speaker nod.
