| Did Communist Spy Know That Rep. Swalwell Was Being Appointed to Intel Committee? |
| 2020-12-20 |
| [PJ] The Swalwell Saga keeps getting curiouser and curiouser. The Wall Street Journal tried to put the events down on paper but it’s still not adding up. Forget the juicy details of Swalwell’s possible romantic involvement with a pretty young Communist spy. The real questions that need to be asked have more to do with national security than anything that might have happened in the bedroom between a United States congressman and Christine Fang, a Chinese national that the FBI says was spying for the Chinese Communist Party. Swalwell says he met Ms. Fang in 2012. She worked as a fundraiser on his 2014 re-election campaign. And that’s when the fun begins. Fang apparently had enough sway with Swalwell to name an intern to his Washington office. But the vital issue is when? The FBI says they briefed Swalwell on Fang’s possible ties to Chinese intelligence sometime around 2015. Swalwell was appointed to the intelligence committee in early January of that year. Speaker Pelosi says she and other congressional leaders were briefed on Fang in the spring of 2015. Apparently, for a few months, Swalwell knew he may have been compromised but neglected to inform the Speaker of the House. The first question we should be asking is how a backbench Democrat not only managed to wrangle a plum assignment to the intelligence committee but what possessed Speaker Pelosi to name him the ranking Democrat on the CIA oversight subcommittee. At the time he was appointed to those prestigious posts, Swalwell had been in Congress for one term. It must have raised some eyebrows in the Democratic caucus at the time when this rookie got such choice postings. Who whispered in Pelosi’s ear to appoint someone with no experience in oversight much less with the CIA? |

| #16 #8 Well Pelosi assigned him to this committee. Follow the money and the palm greasing. Suggesting that she might be dirty since she appointed this Lothario and seems unmoved to remove him from the intel committee. |

| #14 Did Communist China order Rep Swalwell to be appointed to Intel Committee? The spy was probably just his connection - and payment. Congressmen are pretty cheap these days I guess. |

| #11 So much is fake with Pelosi, I'm half surprised her hair isn't fake. |

| #10 It's Feinstein's driver. Pelosi's hair dresser. |

| #7 Since Pelosi's driver was a spy, they probably knew that Smallwood was at least under consideration for appointment... |

| #6 I say the ChiComs arranged his appointment in advance. not sure if that is sarcasm, or not... |

| #5 Some days I wish that Flight 93 would've made it to the Capitol Building, while in full session. Ironically, that may have been the thing to save the Republic |

| #4 Hey, it worked in Australia. Relatively easy hop to California from there. Lots of ripe fruit in Hollywood (Schiff), the rest of SoCal, Silicon Valley -- all of them sinophile. All of their congresscritters are weirdos, wannabes, narcissists. And greedy as all getout. |

| #3 Or the Chinese have compromised enough Democratic and Republican congressman and staffers so some are ensured to be assigned to sensitive committees. |

| #2 What kind of a world this is where US congressman can't get laid except by foreign spy?! |

| #1 ...but what possessed Speaker Pelosi to name him the ranking Democrat on the CIA oversight subcommittee. Pelosi could have been working with the Klingons to bait the Chinese. Swalwell could have have had no knowledge (been unwitting) of the arrangement. |
