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.

At a Nov 28, 2020 panel in Shanghai, Prof Di Dongsheng, mused over the narcissism endemic to Western elites (like the Biden Crime Family, Cong Swallwell and the rest) and the ease to which they are brought under the spell of the Communist People’s Republic.

Dongsheng depicted the ease by which Communist Chinese operatives w/ hidden agendas conscripted “prominent Americans and institutions” who were even willing to work against the interests of their own country.

The professor related his own triumphs as a CCP operative in recruiting new and useful American “friends.”

America’s top pols---like the Bidens---fell easily to China’s leveraging of insatiable Western appetites for power, influence, and money.

NOTE He is Vice Dean of the School of International Relations at Renmin University (the school for children of the CCP elite).

==============================

REFERENCE At a fund-raiser for turncoat Republican, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, he actually spoke Mandarin to hit up Chinese attendees for campaign contributions. So its easy to understand why he slapped down Trump when Trump needed Georgia votes last November.

Raffensperger is in the pockets of the Chinese-—they tell him what and what not to do.

Raffensperger is a plusperfect example of a cruddy lowdown US pol willing to work against the interest of his own country to stay in power.

And so is Swallwell----he willingly let the Chinese spy finance him....and plant a Chinese spy in his govt office.

Harris and Swallwell were going to be on the same ticket. However, the whining a bitching became too much so Harris dropped him.

Can anyone confirm he was actually in the Capitol? Or was he in his office, as were many others.

This guy should be in jail. He’s the millennial version of Anthony Weiner - once he stops becoming effective, they’ll cut him loose.

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

He can always appeal to the USSC if his suit fails.

I hope the judge imprisons Swallwell for contempt of court and disbars his attorney for filing a frivolous lawsuit.
