While on a mission to conduct diplomatic discussions in the United Kingdom earlier this month, US Vice-President JD Vance and his children went fishing with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy. Both Vance and his children broke the law because they didn't have a fishing license. Lammy called the lack of a license "an administrative error, which I made up for it by purchasing it later."
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif) called for an investigation, saying "this latest example of lawbreaking by a member of the Trump Administration must not go unpunished. That the Vice-President of the United States of America would go to a foreign country and violate its laws is unforgivable. It severely damages our nation's image and reputation all over the world. I think this should put impeachment on our agenda."
Apprised of Swalwell's complaint, Lammy insisted, "it was my oversight, Vice-President Vance was my guest. He knew nothing of the license requirement. He should not be blamed in anyway."
Swalwell was not appeased. "I've always heard it said that ignorance of the law is no excuse. We can't allow Vance to get off so easily."
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La) wryly observed "I would have to say that inadvertently fishing without a license seems like a lesser offense than sleeping with a Chinese spy."
In rebuttal, Swalwell asserted "fishing without a license is illegal. Sleeping with a foreign spy is not. That's why I was exonerated when the House investigated me two years ago."
In related news, newly declassified FBI records reveal that in 2017 Reps. Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell were the sources of leaks intended to damage President Trump during his first term of office. In response, Swalwell dared current FBI Director Kash Patel "to come and get me, copper." Schiff claimed "President Biden gave me a pardon for every crime I committed since I first entered Congress in 2001."
So we have a possible spy wanting another to prosecute Vance and family, because (WE) can’t let him off. It is not up to us, but the British.
Democrats and their Marxist fellow travelors could all be prosecuted for illegal immigration.
As V.P. Al Gore said when caught making campaign fund raising calls in his White House office: “There’s no controlling legal authority.”
But wenching with “Chin Chin” or whatever the Chinese agent’s name was, is OK for this silly man.
I agree we obviously need to a special prosecutor. I also heard the VP JD tore the tags off his mattresses and once didn't return the shopping cart to the designated area in a downpour - career criminal for sure - this lawlessness must end I tell you!
He needs to be cited and pay the fine. That’s what would happen to any one of us.
“He needs to be cited and pay the fine.”
Cited for what? No sane person would take the word of a left wing liar like Swalwell that Vance broke the law?
Cited for fishing without a license.
