Swalwell demands FBI halt release of investigative file

WASHINGTON " Lawyers for Rep. Eric Swalwell demanded Monday that FBI Director Kash Patel immediately end any effort to release records from a decade-old investigation involving the California Democrat and a suspected Chinese operative that resulted in no criminal charges. The cease-and-desist letter from the attorneys advises Patel that he would run afoul of both federal law and longstanding Justice Department policy if he moves forward with releasing records from the FBI's investigative file. It seeks a response from Patel within three days confirming that he will comply with the demand, and warns that any further effort to publicize the files will result in legal action.

"Donald Trump and Kash Patel do not get to pick the next governor. Californians do," Swalwell said on Saturday.

Democracy dies in darkness, I see no reason the people of CA shouldn't know the facts about Swalwell. As a Chinese national, and one day voter here in CA, I would certainly like to know the details of this love affair.

Wasn't Swalwell on the intelligence committee? How do we know he broke it off? Is he a Chinese agent, like Trump is a Russian agent?

More evidence of the abject degradation and destruction of our institutions.

MAGA will cheer anyway, even though this government is precisely the government they claimed to be against.

Old news and it's being released solely to influence the CA Governor's race.
Although, personally, I'm still voting for Katie Porter.
