The FBI developed evidence that Chinese national Fang Fang, with direct ties to that country’s intelligence service, had potentially compromised a Democratic congressman from California with sex, foreign interns, and illicit donations. At the time, she was being recruited to become a bureau informant. That was a decade ago. Rep. Swalwell admitted he had sex with her.
The information is in bombshell memos that expose another threat to America’s political system from Beijing.
The files chronicling the relationship between Rep. Eric Swalwell and the Chinese national Fang Fang – also known by her English name Christine Fang – were declassified by President Donald Trump and released Monday by the White House Government Transparency Task Force as part of a broader effort to unmask foreign threats to U.S. political and election systems.
They show the FBI opened a predicated investigation, which is a formal law enforcement inquiry supported by a factual basis or an allegation indicating that a crime or national security threat already exists.
Unlike unpredicated “assessments,” a predicated investigation allows agents to use advanced and intrusive methods like electronic surveillance or informants.
We all knew this was the case. Despite this, Democrats let him serve on the Homeland Security and Judiciary Committees. Just like the scandal with Diane Feinstein, who had a Chinese spy as her aide and driver for 20 years. She continued on the most important committees. The spy wasn’t even deported.
Why isn’t Swalwell under investigation? Democrats wanted him to be governor of California. He does fit in with their communist agenda.
