Swalwell Hits Panic Button Over Potential Release of the Fang Fang Files – 4.1.26

Another day, another L for Eric Swalwell.

The gubernatorial candidate seems to only make the news when he is embarrassing himself.

A few weeks ago, the Congressman had a humiliating back-and-forth with Barstool CEO Dave Portnoy over the Iran conflict.

Swalwell has now diverted his anger from Portnoy to FBI Director Kash Patel as reports are swirling that the FBI may release investigative files pertaining to the Congressman’s relationship with Chinese Spy Fang Fang.

His lawyers even sent the FBI a cease-and-desist letter!

🚨 JUST IN: Rep. Eric Swalwell goes PANIC MODE after he realized Kash Patel is serious about releasing the Fang Fang files — a suspected Chinese SPY who had a relationship with him

"It's absurd and the WORST ABUSE!"

Nothing is going to pique the public’s curiosity over these files like Swalwell whining on TV. Hasn’t he ever heard of the Streisand effect??

According to Eric, the President is trying to sabotage him and interfere with the California gubernatorial race.

Yeah–just like the Trump administration was tying to keep James Talarico off the Stephen Colbert Show. LOL.

Why would Trump try to derail Swalwell’s chances at being the Governor of California?

Eric seems to be doing a fine job at that all on his own.
