Democrat congressman and California gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell’s calls for “transparency” sure came to a fast end now that FBI Director Kash Patel might be releasing what we call the “Fang Fang files.”
Fortunately for Swalwell he has that “D” after his name, meaning that much of the media will come rushing to either defend him or help try and portray him as the victim.
The New York Times did their part a couple days ago, reporting that the results of the FBI’s previous investigation “could be used to smear” Swalwell. If the probe found Swalwell did nothing wrong as he claims then how it could be used to smear him?
The Washington Post is following suit:
Exclusive: As FBI director, Kash Patel has focused on trying to bring a criminal case against Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-California).
The lengths that Patel’s circle is going to pursue a political foe of President Trump have raised alarms within the bureau. https://t.co/HfilSMCksF pic.twitter.com/k3tuMOFmFs

What should “raise alarms” is that a congressman who was on the Intelligence Committee had been investigated for cavorting with a Chinese spy. But sure, let’s make Kash Patel the source of concern here.

Your response is to take the side of the criminal, rather than the side of law enforcement.
Swalwell leaked sensitive information to a Chinese spy. He committed an act of treason, and now you’re attacking the FBI for doing their job.
Kash’s job is to go after criminals.

The Democrats used to like to say “no one is above the law” but for some reason that’s been largely put on the back burner these days.
