Democrat Eric Swalwell: ‘Congressional Leadership Knew About’ My Ties To Alleged Chinese Spy
DAILY WIRE ^ | 12/9/2020 | RYAN SAAVEDRA

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who sits on the sensitive House Intelligence Committee, said in response to an explosive story about ties to a suspected Chinese spy that “congressional leaders knew about” the matter and implied that they apparently did not think that it was a big enough issue to keep him off the Intelligence Committee.

The alleged spy, Chinese national Christine Fang, “targeted up-and-coming local politicians in the Bay Area and across the country who had the potential to make it big on the national stage” through “campaign fundraising, extensive networking, personal charisma, and romantic or sexual relationships,” Axios reported. “Even though U.S. officials do not believe Fang received or passed on classified information, the case ‘was a big deal, because there were some really, really sensitive people that were caught up’ in the intelligence network, a current senior U.S. intelligence official said.”

“Amid a widening counterintelligence probe, federal investigators became so alarmed by Fang’s behavior and activities that around 2015 they alerted Swalwell to their concerns — giving him what is known as a defensive briefing,” the report continued. “Swalwell immediately cut off all ties to Fang, according to a current U.S. intelligence official, and he has not been accused of any wrongdoing.”

The fact that Nancy Pelosi knew about Eric Swalwell’s ties to an alleged Chinese spy and still put him on the Intelligence Committee shows Democrats’ complete refusal to recognize the threat China poses to our democracy.

Yep, they knew, so it’s all ok. You know what will happen to this jerk? NOTHING. He’ll get rich from Chinese contacts, and sell us out.

It more likely Pelosi deliberately put him on the Intelligence Committee so he could pass along our secrets.

Of course they did. When you are a Dem, it’s okay to break the law.

On the one hand, he's trying to allege that the Intelligence Committee knew he was schmengling a CCP spy? But then only cut her off this week?

This guy has Borderline Personality Disorder, which is exactly why the CCP sought him out.

Rendition for both. See what they know.

What did Nanzi know and when did she know it?

Impeachment was a scam. This proves Nanzi is a F***ing liar.

congressional leaders knew about the matter

MMMMMM

The Congressional Oath of Office

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.


Seems very simple to understand.

Meanwhile the same House was harboring a bunch of Pakistani IT spy guys, and Obama was giving Cuban intelligence offiycers access to SOCOM.

It’s worse.

They recognize the threat, but they’re being paid to do nothing about it.

You know, treason. For cash. The oldest kind of treason.

I’m sure the media has already “debunked” this story.

The house republicans need to take Swalwell’s statement, put it on a direct mail piece and send it into swing districts. Not likely to flip 5 or 6 votes for speaker, but it’s worth an attempt. I want Golden in CD-2 here in Maine to explain to voters why he supports Pelosi and China’s interests over America’s.

A defensive briefing? That’s more than President Trump got, and the alleged incidents are only a year apart.

Jail them all for treason. Have a trial and those convicted, hang.
