After getting caught cozying up to (and possibly sleeping with) a Chinese spy, Swalwell blames ‐ you guessed it ‐ Donald Trump!
2020-12-10
[NotTheBee] Yesterday news broke from Axios that California Representative Eric Swalwell was closely involved with a spy, Christine Fang, from China who fundraised for his campaign and planted an intern in his office.
Today, in a Politico interview, instead of answering any questions about the depths of his involvement with the suspected spy, Swalwell used the opportunity to do his favorite thing and lash out against Donald Trump.
Really. This was his response.
"I've been a critic of the president. I've spoken out against him. I was on both committees that worked to impeach him," Swalwell said in an interview on Tuesday. "The timing feels like that should be looked at."
Swalwell added: "What it appears though that this person — as the story reports — was unsuccessful in whatever they were trying to do. But if intelligence officials are trying to weaponize someone's cooperation, they are essentially seeking to do what this person was not able to do, which is to try and discredit someone."
There you have it, according to Eric Swalwell the REAL story here is that the media is reporting at all on his dalliance with a Chinese spy. And Axios, which is not exactly a pro-Trump news site, is in cahoots with the Trump White House to undermine Swalwell's credibility. But, as we know, Swalwell is not always forthcoming and will often try to shift the blame when he makes a mistake.
