Kash Patel is attempting to please his bloated orange deity by "bringing a criminal case against Eric Swalwell" [View all]

Sources told the outlet that Patel recently instructed FBI agents in San Francisco to dig up and quickly redact files related to Swalwell, 45, and Christine Fang, a suspected Chinese agent who reportedly developed close ties to the congressman during his 2014 re-election campaign.

The Post reports that FBI leaders have also discussed possibly sending agents to China to see if Fang has any damaging information about Swalwell, or arranging a U.S. visa for her in exchange for intel on the California gubernatorial candidate, who just happens to be an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump.

More than a decade ago, the FBI investigated Fang over suspicions that she formed close relationships with American politicians, including Swalwell, as a political intelligence operative for China. She helped raise funds for Swalwell’s 2014 re-election campaign and helped install at least one intern in his office.

But no public evidence of wrongdoing against Swalwell was found, and a two-year House Ethics Committee probe into him ended in 2023 with the Republican-led panel deciding to “take no further action.”
