That smell: A miasma of corruption clings to Rep. Eric Swalwell
[AMERICANTHINKER] When it comes to the most insufferable Democrat in Congress, Rep. Eric I farted on national television Swalwell
... U.S. Representative-for-Life from Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,'s 15th congressional district since 2013. Naturally he's a Dem. His district covers most of eastern Alameda County and part of central Contra Costa County. He was rapidly eliminated from the 2020 Dem nomination pool. He looks a lot like Greg Marmelard, and has the distinction of being one of the few politicians to ever fart on national teevee...
, there's always the stench of something.

This time, it's raw campaign finance corruption, given Swalwell's amazing life of luxury lived out to the max on campaign funding. It sounds like the same kind of grift that put his California Republican congressional colleague, Duncan Hunter, Jr., in a prison cell.

According to Fox News:

Eric Swalwell's campaign shows no signs of slowing its luxury spending, racking up more international costs at the likes of a five-star Gay Paree hotel, federal filings show.

The California Democrat's campaign has consistently dropped cash into high-end items, such as limousine services, flights and posh accommodations. His latest filings show the trend has spilled over into this year's second quarter.

Swalwell's campaign, comprised of just two paid staffers, reported spending nearly $38,000 on travel expenses between May 19 and June 30, including $3,538.94 in late May for catering for a fundraising event at La Belle France's "iconic" Ritz Gay Paree, a posh hotel that features several upscale bars and reservation rooms.

"Whenever you require nourishment for both body and soul, the Ritz Gay Paree is ready," the highly-rated hotel's website states.
