Congressman Eric Swalwell appeared on CNN Monday to discuss the impending impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump. Towards the end of the interview, Jake Tapper asked about his past contact with an alleged Chinese spy.
You may remember that last month, Axios dropped a pretty stunning report about suspected Chinese spy Christine Fang (also known as Fang Fang) targeting a number of U.S. politicians, including Swalwell.
At the time, Swalwell’s office told Axios, “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.”
**SNIP**
Tapper brought that up Monday and asked Swalwell, “Have you learned any more about this case since this broke in early December? And can you clarify how much contact you had with this Chinese national?”
Swalwell responded, “The FBI has said that I did nothing wrong. Don’t take it from me. There was no wrongdoing. I’ve learned nothing new. And Speaker Pelosi has said she is keeping me on the committee. By the way, Jake, Republicans were briefed on this conduct, that this individual was trying to do with me and many other members of congress, back in 2015. I think this is retaliation more than anything else.”

Why would anyone believe him about anything, much less about something that makes him look bad?
About 3 inches worth, if I have heard correctly.
How much bang bang with Fang Fang?
The honeypot method of spying is included in the basic counterintelligence training that all DOD employees must take every year. This chump should have lost any security clearance that he held immediately. It would not surprise me if an investigation(s) are ongoing, if not by the FBI, the individual services, i.e.,DCIS, NCIS or USACIDC.
Of course, they are softball questions in disguise, probably pre-coordinated, and entail no follow up. Still, when called out for his leftward bias, Tapper will be able to say, "I pressed Eric Swallwell about his involvement with the Chinese!"
Your fig leaf is getting pretty old and withered Jake.
“The FBI has said that I did nothing wrong.”
Oh, well... that’s a relief.
About 4½ inches.

I am sure he “knew” her, in the Biblical sense.
I’m surprised he didn’t resort to the usual go-to defense: “Asking me about this won’t feed a hungry child...”
How many military secrets are too many to give for sex?
Depends on what the meaning of the word IS is. < /Treason >
“Sure! I was ALL IN!” Swalwell says.
“What difference does it matter at this time anyhoo?”
“I already addressed that”
“Everybody does it”
Maybe the plan is to put a chinese spy in every household. I have room for one is she is a good massage therapist.
What a loser Shagwell is. He’ll always be the little boy in Congress that let his power go to his head.

AND the FBI dutifully covered up for the democrats.
The FBI has said that I did nothing wrong.
Wink and a nudge know what I mean?.
As far as I know, if Pelosi appointed him to the Intelligence Committee, it doesn’t matter about his security clearance.
Swalwell: Er... let’s just say I drilled all the way to China.....
