On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said that “misinformation that is allowing the virus to persist” is “a national security concern” and touted legislation, the BIO Defense Act, that would “put the vice president in charge of that. It would have also a Cabinet-level officer in the National Security Council dealing with this.”

We could have gone our whole lives NOT seeing Eric Swalwell shirtless. We could have gone our wholes lives and THEN some NOT seeing Eric Swalwell shirtless riding a camel. And yet here we are. Guess this is better than ripping a giant fart on national television or you know, banging a Chinese spy but still. In case you missed it (hey, if we have to see it so do you):

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that the Republican Party was “rolling with the cop killers” instead of standing with the Capitol Police by not backing a bipartisan investigation into the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill. Referencing the select committee House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announcement earlier, anchor Nicolle Wallace asked, “Joining our conversation, Congressman Eric Swalwell, Democrat from California. He served as an impeachment manager for the second impeachment trial of the ex-president. Congressman, first your reaction to Speaker Pelosi’s announcement today, good idea?”

On June 6, Rep. Mo Brooks, now running for the U.S. Senate, revealed that a private investigator paid by Eric Swalwell entered his home without his permission and confronted his wife to serve Brooks with a lawsuit related to January 6. Brooks said that the entry was illegal, and slammed Swalwell for sending his team to his home. In a press release, Brooks’ officec now says “Tuesday, a warrant was issued for the arrest of Congressman Eric Swalwell teammate Christian Seklecki of Georgia for the Class A misdemeanor of 1st Degree Criminal Trespass. Christian Seklecki illegally entered Congressman Mo Brooks’...

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” called former President Donald Trump “the biggest legal terrorist of them all.” Guest-anchor Kasie Hunt said, “I want to ask for your reaction to these Trump White House e-mails to the Justice Department essentially asking the DOJ to challenge the outcome of a legitimate election.

U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks released video footage from a home security camera that appears to show a process server entering the garage at the congressman’s Huntsville residence to serve a lawsuit to his wife on Sunday. Meanwhile, Brooks said Monday night he had been served with the lawsuit while in Saks near Anniston while campaigning for U.S. Senate. Brooks and his wife, Martha, filed an incident report with Huntsville police for criminal trespassing following the Sunday incident.

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) has been served with a lawsuit filed by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), days after attorneys for Swalwell said they were having trouble tracking down the Alabama Republican, Brooks and a Swalwell representative confirmed. The lawsuit accuses Brooks and other allies of former President Trump of provoking the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Brooks tweeted on Sunday that he had been served with the suit and claimed members of "Swalwell's team" broke into his home and served the lawsuit to his wife. Speaking to CNN, Philip Andonian, an attorney for Swalwell, shot back at Brooks's...

House Democrats killed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (D-CA) resolution to force Rep. Eric Swalwell (R-CA) off of the House Intelligence Committee. The House voted 218-200 Thursday night to table or kill the resolution.nThere were three Republicans who voted present, Michael Guest (R-MS), Kelly Armstrong (R-ND), and David Joyce (R-OH). Last week Breitbart News reported, after Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) reappointed Swalwell to the Intelligence Committee, McCarthy was going to put forth a resolution to force Swalwell off his Intelligence Committee assignment. This came after a report alleged Swalwell had a relationship with a Chinese spy. This was another attempt by...

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on Friday said he will offer a resolution to remove Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., from the House Intelligence Committee "next week." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Friday reinstated Swalwell onto the committee despite Republican concerns that the former Democratic presidential candidate poses a "national security threat" following reports that an undercover Chinese national, known as Fang Fang, helped fundraise for his 2014 re-election campaign, unbeknownst to Swalwell. "Pelosi just reappointed Eric Swalwell to the Intelligence Committee," McCarthy tweeted Friday. "Based on the briefing she and I received together, Swalwell should not be on...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday confirmed that she’s keeping Rep. Eric Swalwell on the House Intelligence Committee despite questions swirling about his relationship with Chinese spy Fang Fang, who seduced US politicians as part of her work. Pelosi previously reappointed the fellow California Democrat to the House Homeland Security Committee over Republican objections.

Ex-House impeachment manager Eric Swalwell (D-CA) confirmed Friday he will sue former President Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani and Republican Rep. Mo Brooks in a second major lawsuit seeking to hold Trump and his allies accountable for the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Swalwell’s action follows a similar suit filed last month by Rep. Bennie Thompson against Trump, Giuliani and the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys groups

The American Center for Law and Justice is suing the federal government to obtain information about Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell's ties to a Chinese spy. Lawsuits already have been filed against the National Security Agency, the office of the director of national intelligence and the State Department. And preparations are under way to bring the FBI into court. "President Biden’s Deep State agencies are already refusing to cooperate with us to expose government corruption, even with our national security at risk," the ACLJ said. "We’ve spent years warning you about the Deep State’s shredding of the Constitution. The actions of...

Democratic California Rep. Eric Swalwell on Monday called for “a white nationalism task force” at the Department of Justice to look into radicalization.

Though many in the media have called the case against Trump put forth by House Democrats "impressive" and "persuasive," careful attention to detail has revealed repeated misleading editing of the video presentations and the alteration of content in some tweets to make it appear that people were saying something other than what they actually posted. In the splicing of shots from Trump's address to the Jan. 6th rally with shots of the riot at the Capitol, the President's request that his supporters walk over to the Capitol and "peacefully and patriotically" make their voices heard was edited out. His urging...

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va) are working on a motion of censure against former President Donald Trump. The purpose of this motion is to declare Trump guilty of certain crimes and punish him by disqualifying him from ever holding another public office. Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del), a self-proclaimed "big fan" of the concept, called the scheme "ingenious. Unlike an impeachment trial the named criminal has no right to appear or present evidence on his own behalf. Neither is there a two-thirds requirement for conviction. A simple majority in both the House and Senate would be enough...

Congressman Eric Swalwell appeared on CNN Monday to discuss the impending impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump. Towards the end of the interview, Jake Tapper asked about his past contact with an alleged Chinese spy. You may remember that last month, Axios dropped a pretty stunning report about suspected Chinese spy Christine Fang (also known as Fang Fang) targeting a number of U.S. politicians, including Swalwell. At the time, Swalwell’s office told Axios, “Rep. Swalwell, long ago, provided information about this person - whom he met more than eight years ago, and whom he hasn’t seen in nearly six...

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) Monday on MSNBC’s “Live” said that Democrats were impeaching former President Donald Trump, so he is convicted in the Senate, which includes a penalty of disqualification from office. Jackson asked, “Do you plan to address the constitutional authority as has been raised by some of these Republicans for the House to bring an impeachment against somebody and for the Senate to convict somebody who is no longer serving?”

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said Wednesday during PBS’s impeachment coverage that President Donald Trump had “radicalized” his supporters the same way the late terrorist leader Osama bin Laden had. Anchor Judy Woodruff said, “Another argument the Republicans are making is that yes, the people who stormed the Capitol, they should be held accountable, but President Trump himself wasn’t part of the mob. They keep citing one of the words he used in his speech to the crowd last Wednesday. They said he used the word peaceful. He wanted them to be peaceful, among many other words he spoke. They’re saying...

Over the past 18 months, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.) ran for president and quit; appeared on television thousands of times; branded himself an "Avenger"; failed to imprison the president of the United States; and most noxiously, cut an enormous fart on live television. It takes a special kind of confidence to achieve all of that in such a short period of time. But only a true Washington Free Beacon Man of the Year has the confidence to pull off Swalwell's greatest accomplishment, becoming a man whore. In early December, Axios exposed Swalwell's years-long relationship with a young Chinese lady-spy...

The New York Times has continued its reporting blackout on ties between Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and suspected Chinese Communist regime spy Christine Fang — not reporting on those ties for more than two weeks after they came to light. Swalwell had been one of several American politicians that Fang had developed extensive ties to, as part of a multi-year spying operation in the United States between 2011 and 2015. Fang was even a campaign bundler for Swalwell and placed at least one intern in his congressional offices, according to the report. The FBI was reportedly so concerned about Fang...
