CNN’s Tapper Asks Swalwell About Alleged Chinese Spy: ‘Can You Clarify How Much Contact You Had?’
Mediaite ^ | 1/25/20 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 01/26/2021 2:18:08 AM PST by Libloather

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.”

Swalwell is a well known liar.

Why would anyone believe him about anything, much less about something that makes him look bad?

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.

Right on cue, about every 90 days, Tapper asks a, "probing," question of a democrat so he has something fairly recent to point to when accused of bias.

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.

I’m surprised he didn’t resort to the usual go-to defense: “Asking me about this won’t feed a hungry child...”

What a loser Shagwell is. He’ll always be the little boy in Congress that let his power go to his head.

As far as I know, if Pelosi appointed him to the Intelligence Committee, it doesn’t matter about his security clearance.
