Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) blasted Rep Eric Swalwell (D-CA) at a press conference Thursday, telling reporters they would never give the Democrat a committee position if they received the same briefing from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that he did.
“Let me phrase something very direct to you: if you got the briefing I got from the FBI, you wouldn’t have Swalwell on any committee,” McCarthy told reporters.
Breitbart News published an explosive exclusive report in August 2021 regarding a classified report indicating Swalwell was in an intimate sexual relationship with a Chinese spy named Fang Fang. Moreover, Fang Fang also “took part in fundraising activity for Swalwell’s 2014 re-election campaign, according to a Bay Area political operative,” as Axios reported in 2020.

“If it was that bad, why even have him in the House ?”
The people can elect who they want, even if they are a known criminal. See Adam Clayton Powell.
If McCarthy FReeped, he would have known this before the FIB briefed him.
But will they stay descended? It’s a decent start, but I am not going off guard.
exactly
Expelled perhaps.
However arrested tried and shot.
Something else.
Shot? I wouldn't shed a tear if he was.
The Donks started this fire. Historically, each party’s caucus leader decided which members got to sit on committees. Pelosi flagrantly broke this precedent over and over. Of course, with the shoe on the other foot, the Dems will cry bloody murder.
All talk, no action
Reminds me of two historical cases:
Joe McCarthy saying he had a list of Communist traitors in the government. Wouldn’t show it. He was telling the truth about the situation as people found out later on. He was smeared and destroyed by then.
And Lyndon B. Johnson saying he had military briefing facts he had seen that would mean the American people would be convinced to support his Vietnam War policies and strategies if they could see them.
I like this strategy.
“Let me phrase something very direct to you: if you got the briefing I got from the FBI, you wouldn’t have Swalwell on any committee,” McCarthy told reporters.
Oh....wait!!
Is that just a modicum of some intestinal fortitude we see here? Maybe some resemblance of a spine, possibly? Maybe??? Because that’s what it’s gonna take to put these vile POSs in their place and keep em there.
The MEDIA can say anything it wants about the FEEBEE guys, considering the fact that EVERYTHING the MEDIA SAYS IS A LIE, I will continue to believe that the FEEBEE is a TOTALLY CORRUPT ORGAN OF THE STATE!
I’m hoping that McCarthy is going to prove us all wrong!...this is good news.
Dang. Not sure what Happened but so far I’m liking McCarthy.
Thanks. People can elect, House has to seat but House doesn’t have to keep.
I think it’s 2/3.
Article 1, Section 5, Clause 2
Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.
It’s not the time sowing division, by pitting one against the other within our own Republican party. Right now we have more important and creative things to do for America.
Okay, Kevin,now do shiff-face.
He did.

On Adam Schiff:
“Adam Schiff openly lied to the American public. He told you he had proof. He told you he didn’t know the whistle blower,” McCarthy said in a press conference. “He put America for four years through an impeachment that he knew was a lie. At the same time, we had Ukraine, the same time we had Afghanistan collapse. Was that the role of the Intel committee? No.”
On Eric Swallwell:
“If you got the briefing I got from the FBI, you wouldn’t have Swalwell on any committee,” McCarthy went on. “And you’re going to tell me other Democrats couldn’t fill that slot? He cannot get a security clearance in the private sector. So would you like to give him a government clearance?”
[...]
“You’re going to tell me there are 200 other Democrats that couldn’t fill that slot, but they kept him on it? The only way that they even knew it came forward is when they put to nominate him to the Intel committee,” He explained. “And then the FBI came and told the leadership that he’s got a problem, and they kept him on. That jeopardized all of us.”
Burn him at the stake!
I’d be willing to bet it’s bigger than just Fang Fang although that, in and of itself, should be enough..
Just a feeling I have..
