Rep. Swalwell Sues Trump Over Capitol Breach, Alleging ‘Emotional Distress’
The Epoch Times ^ | March 5, 2021 | TOM OZIMEK

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), the Democrat lawmaker embroiled in a Chinese spy saga who served as a House manager in former President Donald Trump’s impeachment, filed a lawsuit Friday against Trump and others in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol incident.

Swalwell, who has been dogged by the story that he was targeted by an alleged Chinese spy and now faces Republican challenges to his suitability to continue serving on a House homeland security committee, filed the lawsuit against the former president, his son, a lawyer, and a Republican congressman whose actions Swalwell claims spurred a “violent mob” to attack the Capitol.

The suit (pdf), filed in federal court in Washington, makes allegations under eight counts, including: conspiracy to violate civil rights, negligence, incitement to riot, disorderly conduct and terrorism, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Swalwell claims that Trump, his son Donald Jr., former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), made “false and incendiary allegations of fraud and theft, and in direct response to the Defendant’s express calls for violence at the rally, a violent mob attacked the U.S. Capitol.”

The lawsuit basically makes the case that both Trumps, Giuliani, and Brooks spread claims of election fraud and by so doing they helped to rile up thousands of people who breached the Capitol.

Swalwell claims that Trump, his son Donald Jr., former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), made “false and incendiary allegations of fraud and theft..."

And STILL we can't see the mail-in ballots in Maricopa County and Fulton County.

The ones that weren't folded to be mailed...

What an idiot.

They couldn’t put Trump’s prints on it with the impeachment;

Why does this bozo traitor think he can do it on his own??

Crybully Swallowell, blubbering to the judge that he was askeered when all those people in the funny costumes were let into his personal sacred space.

Maybe he can get Fang Fang to comfort him.

Just because he is a scared little weenie doesn’t mean he has standing to sue. What were his damages, if any.

This is going nowhere, fast.

Hmmmmmm, I wonder how many of us can sue him for the emotional distress of him sleeping with a Chinese spy?

Justice would be the complete investigation for fraud and Federal espionage statute violations by Rep. Swalwell. He is clearly involved in what is Chinese espionage within the government. He also is involved in a conspiracy to violate several people’s civil rights, including President Trump himself. Nancy Pelousy, Joe O’Biden, and Kamel Harris are clearly guilty of negligence and in their complicity with ANTIFA terrorism and other crimes. They are, with the majority of Democrats, guilty of incitement to riot, as can be shown in video and print, also complicity and support for disorderly conduct and terrorism. Finally, add to that intentional infliction of emotional distress, via the Obamagate Fraud and the unconstitutional misuse and abuse of impeachment rules. But this will not happen, because justice and the rule of law have yet to be restored since the Fascist take over.
