Government Corruption

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

2021-03-20

Unexpectedly.

[NewsMax] The Democratic-controlled House on Thursday beat back an effort to remove Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., from the House Intelligence Committee because of his close association with a woman accused by federal intelligence agencies of being a Chinese spy.

The measure put forth by Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was defeated virtually along party lines 218-200.

McCarthy filed a two-page House resolution demanding Swalwell's removal from the committee — which is privy to some of the most secretive information in the U.S. — over his ties to alleged Chinese spy Fang Fang, also known as Christine Fang, who had helped raise money for Swalwell's campaigns and helped place an intern in his office.

Fang is alleged to have had multiple sexual relationships with elected officials, including at least two Midwestern mayors, according to Axios. She left the U.S. in 2015 amid the FBI investigation into her activities, and Swalwell immediately cut all ties with her after the FBI informed him about the probe.

Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the intelligence committee chairman, defended Swalwell in a letter to colleagues on Thursday.

If we can flip 10 House seats in 2022 we might be able to stop some of this nonsense. Kevin McCarthy would be the Speaker. Eighteen would be better. Loosen up you purse strings and help you local Republican candidate.

So the Liberal Socialist Democrats have no problem allowing a member of their political party, compromised by a Chinese Communist Agent to still be on the House Intelligence Committee. A position privileged to the darkest secrets of the USA protection and it INTEL policies and assets aboard.

It sure says a lot about on where the US Democrat Party stands regarding the National protection and security of USA.

So you are keeping the traitor "in" until you build an iron clad case, sending him disinformation and tracing his coconspirators.

Very brave of you all,

What - you didn't think
about it until
it was just mentioned,

How Democrat of you.
