A group of House Republicans called on Nancy Pelosi to remove Rep. Eric Swalwell from the House Intelligence Committee following a report he was targeted by a suspected Chinese spy in a years-long political intelligence operation.
The letter said:
"Because of Rep. Swalwell’s position on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, his close interactions with Chinese intelligence services are an unacceptable national security risk. HPSCI handles some of the most sensitive information our government possesses — information critical to our national defense. As such, we urge you to immediately remove Rep. Swalwell from his position on the House Intelligence Committee.
Rep. Swalwell withheld information for five years from the House Intelligence Committee about an ongoing Chinese espionage operation targeted at him and his own colleagues. … . Rep. Swalwell kept this information to himself while repeatedly using his position on HPSCI to peddle damaging and baseless conspiracies about President Donald Trump."
"The House Intelligence Committee is instrumental in overseeing our national effort to counteract our chief global rival’s espionage initiatives; for one of its members to have had an undisclosed relationship with a foreign asset in the manner described by recent reports is unacceptable and dangerous. For the sake of our national security, you must remove Rep. Swalwell from his position on HPSCI."
The letter noted Pelosi had called on former Attorney General Jeff Sessions to recuse himself from handling the FBI investigation into the Trump campaign and resign after Sessions had not disclosed that he met twice with a Russian ambassador. The House Republicans wrote to Pelosi, “by your own standards, Congressman Swalwell is unfit to serve on the Intelligence Committee.”
Pelosi last week said she was not concerned about Swalwell.
“I don’t have any concern about Mr. Swalwell,” she said Thursday at a press conference.

In a better time in America, it would be US MARSHALS and FBI agents removing that seditious POS, in manacles.
Gotta say one thing for the dems.. they employ party discipline that would turn any Communist Politburo leader green with envy. No matter the offense, they close ranks and permit no deviation from the narrative. None dare even so much as to whimper the slightest concern about Swalwell’s dalliance with a Chinese spy as they know Pelosi and her enforcers deal with dissent with iron-fisted efficiency. The ability of that 80-year-old woman to cow 234 elected officials into cringing, submissive silence is quite something to behold.
The other things about the Dems is that they are shameless. No matter how great the inconsistencies, illogic or just plain criminality, they sail right on, unbothered. And the press never calls them on it. But of course, they knew that.
Every Democrat has a Chinese Spy
Just the fact that Swalwell is still involved sensitive classified issues, proves this government is way beyond eff’d up.
...just look at Diane Feinstein..
Good luck with all that. Probly have more success with getin’ a kidney from her......not that it’d be very useful.
If Nancy removes him, how is she going to get her daily instructions from the CCP?
I thought he had already been removed. Fake news, left and right.
It will never happen as long as Rats occupy OUR Congress.
OOOOOOOOOOOH!
Another strongly worded letter!
The dems must be shaking in their boots!
The vile, demonic Botoxian takes its orders from its Big Daddy in hell. If Big Daddy says he stays, he stays...no matter what. IF it’s bad for America, Big Daddy likes that....so does the Botoxian.
I thought this dumb ass was already taken off of the intelligence committee.
Yep. Democrats just keep on keeping on. Meanwhile, Republicans are afraid of their shadow and frequently toss one of their own under the bus.
