House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) called for Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, to be “removed from Congress” following an explosive report this week about his connections to a suspected Chinese spy.
“This is only the tip of the iceberg because remember what we’re hearing, these are Chinese spies that go down to the level of a mayor, they court and help a city councilmember become a congressman, this congressman now gets on the Intel Committee,” McCarthy told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. “They are only selected for the Intel Committee by the leaders of their party, meaning Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi is one of the Gang of Eight, along with myself.”
“Did Nancy Pelosi know this had transpired when she put him on the Committee?” McCarthy continued. “We have our Senator Dianne Feinstein, for two decades, the personal assistant to hear all the private phone calls in the car and others, a Chinese spy.”
“Why did the Democrats pull out of the bipartisan China Task Force I had set up?” McCarthy continued. “Why did Speaker Pelosi pull out of that? Why have they denied certain bills that would hold China accountable that have passed Senate …? Why do [the Chinese] focus on Silicon Valley members of Congress? Why is he still on the Intel Committee and why is he still a member of Congress? Did Adam Schiff know as chairman of that Committee that [Swalwell] had this problem?”
McCarthy noted that members of the House Intelligence Committee gets classified information that other members of Congress do not get. McCarthy also questioned why Swalwell was attacking Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, who has repeatedly warned that China is the largest threat that the United States faces.
“The only person attacking him is Swalwell,” McCarthy continued. “Now we learn why. Why is this person still there?”
“Remember what Swalwell said, he accused the president of everything that he did, by lying to the American public and sitting on the Intel Committee,” McCarthy said. “Not only should he be removed from the Intel, he should be removed from Congress as well.”

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said on Tuesday night, “U.S. Intelligence officials believe Fang had a sexual relationship with Eric Swalwell.”
“We asked Swalwell’s office about that directly today, his staff replied by saying they couldn’t comment on whether or not Swalwell had sexual relationship with Fang because that information might be ‘classified,'” Carlson continued. “They did not elaborate or explain what they meant by that.”
Swalwell responded to the Axios report on alleged Chinese spy by suggesting without evidence that the Trump administration was behind the story. However, Axios never said that the story was leaked to them, but rather said that their story was the result of a “yearlong investigation.”
“I’ve been a critic of the president. I’ve spoken out against him. I was on both committees that worked to impeach him. The timing feels like that should be looked at,” Swalwell told Politico. “What it appears though that this person — as the story reports — was unsuccessful in whatever they were trying to do. But if intelligence officials are trying to weaponize someone’s cooperation, they are essentially seeking to do what this person was not able to do, which is to try and discredit someone.”
I never thought I would see thatphrase applied to a democrat!
The President Executive Order 13526
Classified National Security Information
Sec. 1.7. Classification Prohibitions and Limitations. (a) In no case shall information be classified, continue to be maintained as classified, or fail to be declassified in order to:
(1) conceal violations of law, inefficiency, or administrative error;
(2) prevent embarrassment to a person, organization, or agency;
Of course, Congressmen can lie without restraint on Capitol Hill as they have immunity from perjury while there. He's been doing that for years.
I would have thought this type of thing would be a career enhancement for a Democrat - especially now a days.
Yup,Bella Pelosi (D-Hair Salon) will get right on that!
He has just as much power to remove Swalwell as you do. In other words, none.
This is how vigilantes are born.
Time for yet another special election for house of representative seat. Maybe we could get a conservative Republican if they discharge him.
How bet Nancy Pelosi’s actually starting to worry a little bit. Her margin is very very thin and with this and a few other items, she could lose power.
I think she is only about 4 seats away from facing another speaker runoff in the House.
First remove him from Congress and then execute him as a traitor. Might as well make it a two-fer and get rid of psychopath HIC chairman Adam Schiff too. The Red Chinese leadership would be crying in their won ton soup in Peking if this happened.
He needs to be gone from government.
He’s unstable, he’s a traitor and he’s lying hypocrite.
Nuke him out of Congress.....NOW!!!
CA and the USA do NOT need him there.
Let’s see, Intel Committee member with Red Chinese spy. Mummmm, case of treason, passing on US secrets that he picked up in committee meetings, letting the ChiComs know our plans?????? Let’s see, brick wall, firing squad, I volunteer to lead it, aim and fire are the only words needed. We still do prosecute and shoot treason loving commie lovers don’t we? Oh, wait, we have become America-Left. We love Red Chinese loving Americans who commit TREASON!!!
I’ll bet this goes far deeper among the dems... I doubt Swalwell is the only one involved in this.
Yes
Why does “Comrade” Swalwell still have his security clearance?
And while we’re cleaning house, why does “Leaky-Sneaky” Schiff still have his HIS clearance?
Yea, why did she get a pass?
The man who ranted about how the government could just nuke their own people to stop a rebellion.
Phyllis Diller understandably upset.
Ft Marcy park exercise trail...
A democrat being held accountable for his actions? Don’t make me laugh
Of course this would rely upon the Democratic leadership to actually have ethics and morals and all the rest....
I like how the stories have him “allegedly sleeping” with a Chinese spy. He’s a Democrat and a Politician, of COURSE he was sleeping with her. It’s one of the main ways the Chinese do business - the honey pot is what got Hunter Biden involved too with that Mulan chick and a couple crack rocks.
