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.

I hope Swalwell is using his own money for this, but I doubt it.

I think the last thing I’d do as a man is to go into open court and put on the record what a coward and candyass snowflake I am.

Keep creating material for team Democrat/MSM to feed the low info voting base. Creative fiction has become their go to game for the drooling low info crowd.

Guaranteed these poor slobs will never watch anything but MSM for their “truth”, so there is no risk any of them will be exposed to the truth.

Gotta keep feeding them made up stuff to keep them believing Trump is evil/corrupt/dangerous/hateful/spiteful. The corrupt left knows their reckless propaganda will ever be exposed.

Swalwell just getting in on the fun.

The trial will be interesting, if it ever gets to that point.

There’s no question that Trump and the others claimed election fraud, but if they produce evidence that there really WAS fraud, wouldn’t the court have to consider that evidence?

The claim of incitement can easily be refuted by the actual words that Trump spoke in his speech.
