5. I'm still having a hard time buying this. Swalwell has always seemed like a real milquetoast to me. Maybe I can

Monday

believe he got loaded and cheated on the wife, but the allegation seems more violent and that doesn't seem like Swalwell. Add to that the timing, the affiliation of someone associated with Katie Porter and the fact we didn't hear a peep about anything remotely like this as recently as an election a year and a half ago. I don't know. Best he dropped out of the election, though. Just hope California doesn't get stuck with a Republican governor.
