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.”

Sing Eric, sing!

It’s your only hope!

The Democrats killed a Democrat President (JFK) because the story about him screwing a communist spy was about to break!

You’re just a Representative! They’ll kill you in a minute!

Testify and go into protection!

President Trump must declare martial law and implore us to join the cause. This is an attempt by a foreign government to take over America. Time to go to war!

It's not our democracy that's at threat...it's our Republic.

We are not a democracy.

Cannot be a powerful Democrat without getting 30 pieces of silver from someone.

Just as the Republicans protected Sen. Mark Warner - as they all waged a fake battle to get Trump (the Russian Spy).

Bingo!

There is little doubt that every Dem senator and representative knew about this and a hell of a lot more.

We, the voters, learn about it many years after the fact from a radio talk program we just happen to catch.

To connect the dots, as a nation we are now days away from our core institutions lurching to the left. We are witnessing a slow-motion, silent Dec 7th; this time it appears from a vastly numerically superior enemy.

So they knew about bang bang with Fang Fang. That makes it kosher? I don’t think so.
