Eric Swalwell, A Chinese ‘Honeytrap’ And FBI Double Standards
NY Post ^ | 12/09/20

Posted on 12/11/2020 7:20:23 AM PST by Enlightened1

Rep. Eric Swalwell cut off contact with a young woman allegedly spying for China as soon as the FBI gave him a defensive briefing alerting him to the situation. Why didn’t the FBI give Team Trump the same option — instead of spying on it?

Fang Fang, a k a Christine Fang, got close to several politicians, especially in the Bay Area, from 2011 to 2015, only to abruptly leave the country as the FBI was closing in. US officials believe China’s Ministry of State Security, its main civilian spy agency, sent her here to collect intelligence and gain influence with up-and-coming politicians.

Since Democrats dominate Bay Area politics, she focused on officials such as Swalwell, starting when he was a Dublin city councilman and continuing after he won election to Congress in 2012. She turned out to have a good eye for talent: The congressman became a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in 2015, getting the lead role in the subcommittee on CIA oversight.

Axios reports Fang had sexual relationships with at least two Midwestern mayors; Swalwell won’t say whether he slept with the honeytrap. He interacted with her at a number of public events over the years, and she was a fundraising bundler for his 2014 re-election campaign. She even helped place an intern in his office.

But then the FBI, in the midst of a counterintelligence probe into Fang’s activities, briefed him in 2015, and he cut all ties (though his father and brother remain Facebook friends with her).

Swalwell claims Axios’ scoop, which the outlet says was the result of a year-long investigation, was leaked as payback for his work to impeach President Trump. Indeed, he’s angrier about the leak than he is about China targeting him.

The FBI should be disbanded. Agents that are professional and believe in their oath should be transferred to the US Marshals Service.

I agree...or at the very least return them to their original mandate: Investigate crimes. No HRT teams, no guns, no powers of arrest. Just labs and Microscopes. See how many trigger happy goons and power hungry small penis types leaves after that.

Its disturbing to me but I agree. It is apparent that the agency has gone rogue and has politicized its mission. If Trump does not do anything about this, we are doomed, as the CCP will infiltrate even further than it already has. Time to replace that agency altogether, its irreparable.

Members of congress and their kids can commit treason and the FBI do not investigate. However if say Donald Trump asks a foreign leader to look into corruption then the FBI will lie and lie to impeach Trump.

The FBI ignores this obvious treasonous spying and yet at the same time they went after Trump with bulldozers?

If the FBI didn't know about Fart-Boy, well then why the hell should they still exist?

When I worked at Fort Knox I had to go through security training.

FWIW, it’s called “honeypot”.

Remeber Diane Feinstein’s Driver was a Chinese Agent.

I bet old Zuckerberg’s wife is a Chinese Agent too.

How many people in California have Chicom agents.

Eric Swalwell "said" he cut off contact w/ a woman spying for China
b/c the FBI gave him a "defensive briefing" alerting him to the situation.

Yet, the cottipted Obama FBI did not give candidate Trump the same option —
instead, Obama unleashed intel agencies (financed by taxpayers to protect American families' safety and security)
to illegally spy on the Trump campaign; the lowlifes went so far as to mfg dirt on Donald.

The Obama/Biden filthy cabal did not give a flying fig about Americans' safety and security.......their pathetic needs came first.

=============================================

NOTE Swallwell "cut off" first before his trusting wife had a chance to Lorena Bobbit Swalwell.

Imagine what the media would be saying if Donald Trump was banging a Chinese spy?

If Trump wins, the FBI should be brutally cleared out. Prosecutions, dismissals, public disgrace.

“though his father and brother remain Facebook friends with her”


If he cut off all ties, why on earth would anyone except the village idiot allow his father and brother to be friends with her on Facebook.

He a a steaming, fart-filled pile of dung — a habitual liar that nobody believes, regardless of party affiliation.

As for the FBI, nothing gets their juices flowing like the idea of a full scale invasion of a 68 years old man’s house in the early morning hours, or sending a platoon of agents to search for a noose in a garage, or burning women and children alive, or shooting a woman holding a baby in her house. And they are resume enhancements to boot.

“Why didn’t the FBI give Team Trump the same option”

I believe if we knew the full extent of the deep state trying to oust Pres. Trump we would be shocked.

The FBI has been continually disappointing lately, but every indication to me is that some subgroup of the Branch Davidians lit the place on fire themselves, not the feds.
