Considering Swalwell’s criminal liability for mortgage fraud, he instead ought to run for the border.

This doesn’t sound like someone who should be very afraid of a well run competent Justice Department with good, qualified America First people. Because it isn’t and they aren’t.

Article I, Section 2 of the US Constitution requires an elected member
to be an “inhabitant” of the state they represent at the time of their election
<><>Swalwell was not and IS not an inhabitant of California, a state he represents.
<><>he declared his DC residence his “primary residence.”
<><>public record searches show no home owned or leased by Swalwell in California.

Since Mexico has a more brutal and energetic criminality than the US, I suspect that Swalwell would soon end up on the bottom of the stack.

Considering California is already a Democratic Socialist Republic, I’m OK with getting him out of the Senate. Apparently the opportunity for graft is greater in Sacramento than D.C., at least with Trump in charge.
