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.

This a-hole made plenty of knowingly false, defamatory statements throughout the entire Russia hoax claiming there was hard evidence of it when he knew that it was all made up by his Party.

Republicans should go after Eric Swalwell until they dislodge him from Congress. He is the biggest jerk to come along in mondern times.

he has no grounds. Trump has already been acquitted after a trial largely driven by his fellow Democrats.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans are ‘emotionally distressed’ that Swallwell hasn’t resigned in disgrace as an enemy collaberator.

He’ll win the case. Judge will order the defendants to pay up with a blankie and pacifier.
