Moment disgraced Eric Swalwell is surrounded by FBI agents at San Francisco airport (incognito outfit)
NY Post ^ | 8/31/26 | Josh Koehn

Former Rep. Eric Swalwell was surrounded by FBI agents at San Francisco International Airport as he deboarded a plane, leading to the seizure of his cellphone and laptop as part of a federal criminal investigation, newly obtained video shows.

The California Post exclusively obtained surveillance footage of the Aug. 15 encounter, providing the first look at the dramatic airport search that unfolded after Swalwell arrived in California.

The footage shows Swalwell — dressed incognito in a hat, black sweatshirt and sneakers — speaking with several agents at his flight gate as travelers pass nearby. The former Democratic congressman appears calm and cooperative throughout the encounter.

Video footage of the encounter then shows Swalwell, wearing a backpack and dragging a rollbag, being escorted throughout San Francisco’s airport. He’s taken up an escalator and eventually arrives in a hallway with a sign that says “restricted area.” He then enters a room with multiple people.

Agents served Swalwell with a search warrant at about 8:25 p.m. and seized a white Apple iPhone, its charging cable and wall adapter, and an Apple MacBook Pro, according to an inventory filed with the warrant.

The FBI left Swalwell with a copy of the warrant and an inventory of the property taken, records show.

The video does not show agents placing Swalwell under arrest, and he was reportedly allowed to leave after the search.

Agents executed additional warrants the following day at Swalwell’s Washington, D.C., home, where they seized other potential evidence, a source previously told The Post.

He looks like a perverted Unabomber. Most likely because he doesn’t want to be recognized in public.

Too ugly to as a man to attract a woman. Too ugly as a woman to attract a man.
I wonder how many of these demented creeps realize how utterly foolish they look.

“The video does not show agents placing Swalwell under arrest”

That’s the problem with all these filthy democrats.
