Chinese Spy Humper and Treasonous Russia Hoaxer Eric Swalwell Accused of Sexual Harassment and Misusing Funds

Wow, a Democrat who uses his office to enrich himself and predate* upon underlings.

I shan't believe it. I simply shannot.

But believe all women amitire

MD Kittle at The Federalist:

The office of Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., offers internships "for college students to gain valuable work experience ... [and] absorb the many functions of a Congressional office." If the growing harassment allegations against the leftist lawmaker and leading Democrat candidate for California governor are true, Congress may want to put the kibosh on Swalwell's tutelage program for young women.

It seems the accomplice media has been too busy falling all over themselves in their absurd attempt to make Swalwell a martyr of President Donald Trump's "weaponization of law enforcement" to pay much attention to the women coming forward accusing the swamp rat of inappropriate sexual conduct.

Swalwell's flacks are furiously trying to explain away why the smarmy Democrat's campaign spent north of $300,000 on "private attorneys who specialize in white-collar criminal defense and employment law." They told KCRA 3 in Sacramento the payments were for legal guidance to fend off Trump's "retaliatory investigations" into Swalwell that have "put his family and staff at risk." After all, If you can't trust a morally corrupt congressman who fervently peddled the Russia collusion hoax, who can you trust?

'Pattern of Manipulation and Abuse of Power'

Cheyenne Hunt, a Democrat who in 2024 ran unsuccessfully for California's 45th Congressional District seat, posted on her social media sites that she has been "working with a number of women who are in the process of coming forward and sharing their stories of sexual harassment and even alleged abuse at the hands of Eric Swalwell." Hunt, who serves as executive director of the liberal organization Gen-Z for Change, claims a "major news outlet" is preparing to publish a story on the allegations.

"So let me be as clear and transparent about that as I safely can be," she said in a video posted to her Facebook page. "I am personally working with a group of women who want to come forward and share their stories. I am also aware of a much larger group that is also in this process that I am not personally working with."

Hunt says the group has pro bono legal representation to protect the victims' "legal and physical safety" as they share their experiences about Swalwell, adding that a number of women have come forward since a previous post last month. In that post she accused Swalwell of having a "predatory history toward women."

Meanwhile, Trump appears to have made a major mistake in California. He endorsed Republican Steve Hilton for governor. The problem is that this is a jungle primary and there was no need to endorse either Republican yet -- both can win the jungle primary and then face each other mano a mano -- no Democrat candidate! -- in the general. But this means it's likely that Hilton will cannibalize a big chunk of his Republican rival's support, and easily win the jungle primary -- along with a Democrat, who will then go on to easily beat him.

This is Mark Halperin's analysis but I don't see any fault with it. The only way a Republican can win in California -- unless Californians are finally so sick of Democrats they'll go against 50 years of voting history for a change -- is to run against another Republican. This increases the odds that Hilton will lose the governor's race.



The Chinese sent Fang Fang to honeypot VDH, too.

But he said it was an obvious honeytrap and told her to try her luck with someone with less control over his bowels.

Cruel.


* Yeah I said predate and I'm sticking to it.

But that will never happen - even if two Republicans win the jungle primary, a judge will find a justification for also putting a Democrat on the ballot for the general election.

It's California.

That would be complicated and embarrassing, however, so they are going after Swalwell simply to knock him out of the race, thus ensuring that a Democrat will finish in the top two.

59 The Democrats have a super majority in both the CA Assembly and Senate. That means any GOP agenda is DOA.
They can over ride any veto, push any initiatives and keep selling the state to the Teachers Union, the SEIU and the Trial Lawyers, just as they have for years.
The last GOP Governor, Arnold, tried putting 5 reform initiatives on the ballot to "blow up the boxes".
The unions funded huge ad campaigns and all 5 went down to defeat. His popularity rating went from mid-60's to mid-30's.
At which point he hired Grey Davis's old Chief of Staff to be his CoS and his whole agenda changed.

81 61 Afternoon, All.

Maybe somebody has already mentioned this, but a tanker exploded under the Bridge of the Americas, which spans the Pacific side of the Panama Canal. Could've collapsed the bridge into the Canal and blocked it, but fortunately they got the fire put out before that happened.

Imagine if the Panama Canal and the Strait of Hormuz were blocked at the same time.

Not a pleasant scenario to contemplate.

Posted by: The ARC of History! at April 07, 2026 03:29 PM (n1OCj)

Two Republicans were never going to make it to general, it's just wishcasting based on an early poll in a crowded primary before people have had a chance to coalesce around the frontrunners.

Your scenario would never happen as well. Dems wouldn't care about a single term GOP gov, they have a supermajority in the legislature that can override a veto anyway. Jungle primaries have been a massive benefit to Dems because they don't have to flood money into general elections in their many coastal strongholds and can instead route tens of millions into the campaigns for contested seats.

Another reason I say Porter is that she was mad about being done dirty in the US Senate race (the one in which Schiff prevailed).

Maybe somebody has already mentioned this, but a tanker exploded under the Bridge of the Americas, which spans the Pacific side of the Panama Canal. Could've collapsed the bridge into the Canal and blocked it, but fortunately they got the fire put out before that happened.

Imagine if the Panama Canal and the Strait of Hormuz were blocked at the same time.

Not a pleasant scenario to contemplate.

I can write that off as a mistake. I can’t ignore that AIPAC Eric has an AI startup that he’s been pitching to other members of Congress while running to govern Silicon Valley. Only one candidate isn’t compromised by corporations and can tackle big tech and billionaires: Porter.

So, Swalwell was at the Bruce Springsteen show in Portland last night with a 20-ish year old woman. I assumed she was his daughter until I looked at a photo of his family today.

Sometimes everyone comes at you because you're the 'leader'. Other times, it's just because everyone hates you. I guess time will tell which one this is.

God please not swalwell for Governor. Being hated by everyone probably just means you suck, not that you are a good candidate. The idea that being hated means you are moderate and therefore good is so stupid.

He should have said that.

Seriously. Decades ago when I was young. The USSR sent a trade delegation to Cincinnati in the 80's. Set up in the Union terminal. I was in sales so basically doing nothing. So i went. There was no one there except me and like half a dozen Russians. There was one lady, 30 ish. Not great looking but okay. Nice hooters. I walked around a bit and one of the old guys was talking to her in Russia and pointing towards me. She came over and started talking to me. How wonderful Russia was etc. Standing close to me. THe old guy comes up from behind her with like a giant old camera with like the accordion bellows looking extension and a separate handheld flash bulb. He tries to take my picture, as he was going to do it, I stepped back so she was blocking me. He wound up taking a picture of nothing. He got mad and started yelling at her. I left.

There was no one there except me and like half a dozen Russians. There was one lady, 30 ish. Not great looking but okay. Nice hooters. I walked around a bit and one of the old guys was talking to her in Russia and pointing towards me. She came over and started talking to me. How wonderful Russia was etc. Standing close to me. THe old guy comes up from behind her with like a giant old camera with like the accordion bellows looking extension and a separate handheld flash bulb. He tries to take my picture, as he was going to do it, I stepped back so she was blocking me. He wound up taking a picture of nothing. He got mad and started yelling at her. I left.

Didn't know who Chad Bianco was at the time, but then they arrested some nutcase late in the proceedings and Bianco was suddenly all over the place patting himself on the back. Think they ended up bringing no charges against the arrestee. Then I found out that he was responsible for the traffic management that night.

He appears to be pretty well funded. I think Trump has some knowledge of how things went down at that rally and figured he'd be no better than Newsome. Steve Hilton impresses me every time I hear him. Other than that self-congratulatory press conference, I've not heard Chad Bianco speak anywhere...

My kids went to school in SoCal and we were pressured every year to sign up for free school lunches which we never did as their father and I did very well and didn't need it. Are you sure? Are you suuuuure??? Yes dammit, we don't need it.

Here's my big problem with such babble, dear: Where and for whom does son Buckley (NOT Buckley the also idiot brother) work?

Last I heard was still: Buckley Carlson (born c. 1997) is the son of conservative media personality Tucker Carlson and currently serves as the Deputy Press Secretary for Vice President JD Vance, a role he began in January 2025.

(Reportedly, stationed in the Eisenhower Building, D.C.)

The EU, too, it seems.

Euro News, "Don't commit war crimes in Iran, EU urges Trump as deadline looms"

Donald Trump's threat to strike Iran's bridges and power plants has raised the prospect of war crimes. The EU insists all sides should respect international law and exercise "maximum restraint".

👉HOWEVER, The United States is not a party to the Rome Statute, the founding treaty of the International Criminal Court (ICC), and does not recognize its jurisdiction over American citizens. While the U.S. signed the treaty in 2000, it never ratified it, and the signature was later formally withdrawn, citing concerns over sovereignty, constitutional conflicts, and the potential prosecution of U.S. military personnel.

And yet, Jack Smith.

313 To mitigate the damage, Trump can also say positive things about other repub candidates, later be critical of Hilton, etc, to the point the original endorsement is watered down to being near meaningless.

Everyone knows Trump says lots of things and that can be used to undo the damage, at least somewhat.
