After the swearing-in of the new members of Congress on Sunday, January 3, newly elected Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) kept Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), a Democrat who was recently exposed as a female Communist spy, on the House Intelligence Committee. Congressional Republicans were shocked and condemned Pelosi for shielding her colleague.
Congressional Minority (Republican) Whip Steve Scalise tweeted on Sunday, “Unbelievable! This is despite the fact that media reports on Swalwell, such as Axios, have revealed that Swalwell had a multi-year, deep affair with a female Communist spy when he was elected to Congress and began serving on the committee. But Pelosi still kept Swalwell on the Intelligence Committee. Why are Democrats afraid to stand up to the Chinese Communist Party?”
Republican U.S. Rep. Jody Hice (R-N.Y.) called Pelosi’s retention of Swalwell on the highly sensitive committee “extremely perverse” and “outrageous.
On Jan. 3, a user (@MasterChiefSW89) posted a cartoon in his Twitter account depicting the relationship between Swalwell and Fang Fang.
The picture shows a cartoon of a netizen satirizing Swalwell’s fornication with a female communist spy.
Last month, U.S. media outlet Axios reported that Chinese Communist spy Christine Fang, also known as Fang Fang, had established extensive and close ties with several U.S. politicians, including Swalwell. According to the report, Fang’s close ties to Swalwell enabled her to successfully place at least one intern in Swalwell’s congressional office, and to actively fund his campaign.
Swalwell reportedly met Fang in 2011 while serving as a Dublin, California, city council member and maintained a relationship with her until mid-2015. At that time, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began an investigation into Fang Fang’s activities and simultaneously issued a warning to Swalwell. Shortly thereafter, Fang Fang abruptly fled the United States and returned to China.
Swalwell declined to answer whether he and Fang Fang were lovers. But sources told The Federalist, a conservative U.S. media outlet, that Swalwell’s relationship with Fang was sexual in nature.
The Federalist reported that according to information from counterintelligence investigators directly familiar with Fang Fang, Fang and Swalwell had a sexual relationship. Federal officials are thus very concerned that an intimate relationship between a congressman with classified U.S. national intelligence and a female Chinese spy could jeopardize U.S. national security. They even suspect that Swalwell may have provided Fang Fang with defensive briefings about U.S. counterintelligence investigations before her disappearance from the United States in 2015.
A senior U.S. intelligence official told The Federalist that investigators have uncovered limited circumstantial evidence that Swalwell likely tipped off Fang Fang as soon as she was warned by the FBI about her ties to Chinese intelligence agencies.
