Eric Swalwell blasts 'soft on violent-crime prosecutors' for allowing people to endanger children



Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California suggested in a post on X that "soft on violent-crime prosecutors" are allowing people to endanger children.

He made the comments in response to a news story about an Oakland carjacking. A young child had been in the vehicle when it was taken. Video footage showed an individual emerge from the vehicle with the child and leave the young boy alone outside. The child was later reunited with his mother and the vehicle was recovered.

"My wife and I play these scenarios over in our head all the time. We’ve practiced going out through the back seat to get our kids out of our car if we are carjacked. This is not normal. Soft on violent-crime prosecutors are letting too many dangerous people threaten our kids," Swalwell tweeted.

The left-wing congressman has been serving in the U.S. House of Representatives for more than a decade.

"And what political party do those soft on crime prosecutors belong to? Who funds campaigns for them? DEMOCRATS. Your party is behind all of this Eric. For the sake of your family I hope you get a gun and get trained so you can protect them in these far left crime zones," Robby Starbuck tweeted in response to Swalwell's post.

"Well, of course I agree, but what party do virtually all of those 'soft on violent-crime' prosecutors belong to?" Jeremy Carl wrote to Swalwell.

"Yet again we see that the most predictable outcome in the world is progressive politicians being outraged at the consequences of their own policies and ideology," Ian Miller wrote.

Democrats push bill to ban Trump and others from US Capitol



A couple of House Democrats are pushing a measure to bar former President Donald Trump and multiple other figures from entering the U.S. Capitol.

"The Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives, the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate, and the United States Capitol Police shall take such actions as may be necessary to prohibit President Donald John Trump, Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, Dan Scavino, Peter Navarro, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, Kenneth Cheseboro, and Rudy Giuliani from entering the United States Capitol," the text of the concurrent resolution states.

Democratic Rep. Nikema Williams of Georgia introduced the measure, and Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California is an original cosponsor.

"This isn't even my bill — it's a brilliant bill written by @RepNikema. Which, of course I support!" Swalwell tweeted. "And by the way, when the village nearly burns down, we don’t invite the arsonist back to visit. Duh."

Williams tweeted, "@RepSwalwell co-sponsored my legislation, but I'll sign on to his analogy: let's keep the arsonists out of the Capitol y'all."

\u201c\ud83d\udc4b\ud83c\udffe Hey @FoxNews, glad to see you read my bill (even if you didn't read my name)! @RepSwalwell co-sponsored my legislation, but I'll sign on to his analogy: let's keep the arsonists out of the Capitol y'all.\u201d
— Congresswoman Nikema Williams (@Congresswoman Nikema Williams) 1677079356

On the heels of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, Williams put forward a similar concurrent resolution that called for barring Trump from entering the Capitol after his term ended.

Trump, who has announced that he is running for president again, referred to Swalwell as an "idiot."

"This idiot is now calling (for publicity purposes only!) for some Great American Patriots, including me, to be banned from the Capitol," Trump said of Swalwell in a statement. "Fortunately, people understand that Swalwell is a 'low life,' not respected by anybody, and merely used for entertainment reasons by the Fake News Media to continue their assault on President Donald J. Trump, and America!"

Eric Swalwell calls for Russian students to be kicked out of American universities



On Thursday, Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) suggested that the United States deport Russian college students and shutter the Russian embassy in Washington, D.C in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Post Millennial reported.

While on “CNN Newsroom,” Rep. Swalwell said, “Frankly, I think closing their embassy in the United States, kicking every Russian student out of the United States, those should be on the table.”

He continued, “Vladimir Putin needs to know every day that he is in Ukraine, there are more severe options that could come.”

“This is the largest invasion in Europe since World War II, and these are the harshest sanctions that any country has experienced since World War II,” the congressman added, “There will be more to come.”

On Saturday, Western allies agreed to ramp up the sanctions placed on Russia by blocking Russian banks from accessing the SWIFT network.

In a joint statement, leadership from the European Commission, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States committed to amplifying financial sanctions by prohibiting Russian banks from using the telecommunications network to conduct international and domestic transactions.

By preventing Russia from utilizing the SWIFT network, Western leaders will effectively isolate them and make it incredibly difficult for the Russian economy from making either short- or long-term gains. These sanctions, notably, interfere with Russia’s ability to export natural gas and oil. Fuel exports compose more than half of Russia’s GDP.

Vodka — one of Russia’s most iconic exports — is also being affected by Western sanctions. The Canadian government is stopping the sale and importation of Russian-made products. And in the United States, several state governments have called for the removal of Russian vodka from liquor stores.

After invading Ukraine and even before Western nations issued sanctions, Russia’s economy began to crater. Currently, a Russian ruble is worth about 0.012 U.S. dollars. The Russian currency is less valuable than some in-game currencies for video games.

Rep. Swalwell currently serves on the House Intelligence Committee.

Previously, per federal investigators, Swalwell had a close personal relationship with a woman named Christine Fang. As it turns out, Ms. Fang was a spy for the Chinese government. Rep. Swalwell and Ms. Fang were involved while Swalwell served on the House Intelligence Committee.

Upon learning of Ms. Fang and Swalwell’s relationship, high-ranking members of the House Republican Caucus called for his removal from the House Intelligence Committee.

In mid-January, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said that if the Republican Party wins a majority in the House of Representatives after the 2022 midterms, Rep. Swalwell will be stripped of his role on the House Intelligence Committee.

Rep. Eric Swalwell predicts that 'we can go from 60% Americans vaxxed to 80% if we require vaccines to fly'



Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California posted a tweet predicting that the percentage of vaccinated Americans would jump from 60% to 80% if vaccination was required for air travel.

"Prediction: we can go from 60% Americans vaxxed to 80% if we require vaccines to fly," Swalwell tweeted.

Some on social media approved of the idea of requiring vaccination to fly, but others decried the notion.

"Many, like my family, just simply will not fly until they make vaccines mandatory. #VaccinePassports" someone tweeted in response to the congressman's post.

"It should have been mandated months ago," someone else declared.

"Totalitarian much?" another tweet said in response to Swalwell.

"Prediction: restricting freedom of movement and travel leads to unchecked authoritarianism," someone wrote.

"Vaccinated fliers will still catch & spread the virus," another tweet declared.

"Why would we mandate medical interventions that do not stop infection and do not stop spread?" someone else queried.

There is currently no COVID-19 vaccination mandate for domestic air travelers in the U.S.

While American citizens flying to the U.S. from abroad do not face a vaccine mandate, some noncitizens flying into America do face such a requirement.

"You must be fully vaccinated to travel to the United States by plane if you are a non-U.S. citizen, non-U.S. immigrant (not a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, lawful permanent resident, or traveling to the United States on an immigrant visa). Only limited exceptions apply," according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC reports that 60.8% of the U.S. population has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. According to the agency, 64.7% of the population consisting of individuals ages 5 and above has been fully vaccinated, while 76.5% of that demographic has received at least one dose.

Eric Swalwell Duped by Chinese SEX Spy!? | Louder With Crowder

Eric Swalwell Duped by Chinese SEX Spy!? | Louder With Crowder

Report: Alleged Chinese spy got so close to Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell that federal investigators had to step in to alert him



An alleged Chinese spy operating in California's Bay Area during the Obama administration got so close to Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell (Calif.) that federal investigators had to step in and alert the congressman.

What happened?

The suspected foreign agent, Christine Fang, "targeted up-and-coming local politicians in the Bay Area and across the country who had the potential to make it big on the national stage" as part of a years-long operation run by China's main civilian spy agency between 2011 and 2015, Axios reported Monday night.

She first came into contact with Swalwell and other up-and-coming politicos through her role as the head of two different student groups at California State University East Bay, where she enrolled in 2011. Using her position in the groups, Fang gained access to political events and fundraisers for several prominent Democrats in the area, including Democratic California Reps. Swalwell, Ro Khanna, Judy Chu, and former Rep. Mike Honda.

Fang became closest with Swalwell, Axios reported, and by 2014, had "developed close ties" with his congressional office. She worked as a "bundler" for him and other local candidates, helping him connect with big donors and deepening his ties with target communities, and even successfully planted an intern in his office.

Then in 2015, "amid a widening counterintelligence probe, federal investigators became so alarmed by Fang's behavior and activities that ... they alerted Swalwell to their concerns — giving him what is known as a defensive briefing," the report said.

"Swalwell immediately cut off all ties to Fang, according to a current U.S. intelligence official, and he has not been accused of any wrongdoing," the report added.

What else?

Fang's targeting of Swalwell shows China's long-game strategy of embedding people with politicians before they reach the national stage in hopes of influencing them towards pro-Beijing policies later, Axios noted. Swalwell was elected to Congress in 2012 and in 2015 was assigned to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, serving as the lead Democrat on the subcommittee on CIA oversight.

The report added: "Even though U.S. officials do not believe Fang received or passed on classified information, the case 'was a big deal, because there were some really, really sensitive people that were caught up' in the intelligence network, a current senior U.S. intelligence official said."

Swalwell's office provided Axios with the following statement before publication of the report: "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 years — to the FBI. To protect information that might be classified, he will not participate in your story."

Anything else?

Sometime in 2015, Fang abruptly left the United States without warning. Officials believe Chinese authorities called off her covert duties and had her return home.

In addition to her various connections to Bay Area politicians, Fang developed romantic or sexual relationships with at least two unnamed Midwestern mayors, with one of the sexual encounters being captured by FBI surveillance.

In an op-ed Thursday, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe revealed that Chinese spies have targeted U.S. lawmakers more than any other country, including Russia and Iran.
