Representative calls for investigation into Eric Swalwell’s relationship with Chinese spy
Democrats on the Intelligence Committees have been infiltrated by Chinese spies for years. This is not conjecture, we already know that Dianne Feinstein employed a Chinese spy for twenty years and now we are learning that Eric Swalwell, who was so worried about Russian spies, was in a relationship with a Chinese spy for six years.
We are supposed to ignore Dianne Feinstein’s lack of due diligence because the spy was just her limo driver and there is no way, even though she is privy to sensitive information, she would have even once over the two decades actually said something in front of him that she should not have.
Even if you are willing to go out on that limb to defend the indefensible with Dianne Feinstein it is infinitely more difficult to willingly suspend disbelief when it comes to Eric Swalwell because he actually hired interns based on the recommendations of the Chinese Spy he was in a relationship with.
Now at least one member of the Congress is calling for an investigation, here is more:
Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) filed a complaint Friday to the House Ethics Committee asking it to “immediately open an investigation” into allegations that suspected Chinese spy Christine Fang compromised Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA).
“The story indicates that the FBI was so concerned with his close relationship with Fang that they had to warn Swalwell about his connections to a known spy in 2015, including Rep. Swalwell’s decision to place an intern in his Congressional office on Fang’s recommendations,” Sensenbrenner wrote.
He added that “2015 was also when then-Leader [Nancy] Pelosi appointed Rep. Swalwell to the Intelligence Committee, providing the then-second term congressmen [sic] with significant access to highly sensitive and classified information.”
“It is unknown how much private and/or classified information Fang had access to as a result of her relationship with Rep. Swalwell and whether Rep. Swalwell was compromised as a relationship with her,” Sensenbrenner continued.
In his complaint Friday, Sensenbrenner stated that “Allowing an international spy to forge a close relationship with a member of Congress and then allowing personnel decisions to be influenced by a Chinese national does not reflect creditably on the House.”
Democrats, who have been screaming Russia, Russia, Russia, for four years are sure to call this a witch-hunt but they would do well to remember that all it took to open up an investigation into Donald Trump’s connection to Russia was a rumor of a conversation and there appears to be much more evidence in this case.
malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium
Steve, do individual Members and their offices have the capability to vet their personnel choices, or is the vetting the responsibility of the FBI? I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect each Member to maintain an apparatus capable of vetting potential hires so well that they can penetrate a foreign covert operative’s cover. In fact, that’s a job for the FBI, which I thought routinely vetted all such prospective hires.
Take good care and may God bless us all

Yeah, but then the investigation should be of whatever agency is responsible for vetting job candidates, not the elected representatives in whose offices they wound up working. That’s what makes me think Sensenbrenner’s complaint is motivated by political, rather than by security considerations.
Take good care snd may God bless us all!
