@oneeyedundertaker I will make you happy, he should resign immediately. If not, the House should strip him of any security clearances, before expelling (which I suspect is a longer process hence why clearance first).

Lol.  Too little too late.  The fact that Dems elected him & put him on Homeland Security & Cybersecurity committees after sleeping with a Chinese spy is quite telling

I mean, we aren't the party that voted in the primary for a guy who was involved in harassment that led to a woman's suicide, refused to ask him to step down, he finished first in the primary, and is still in the House even though now a second woman has come forward. There ain't no clean hands, and that in and of itself is very sad.

I keep waiting for all the Dems to post their support for Swalwell and to downplay the accusations.

Is this the best example? Gonzales is in a primary runoff with Trump and Johnson and the entire house funding apparatus supporting his opponent Herrera. 

Republicans have kicked into gear to try and get this guy out.

I believe Gonzalez dropped out several weeks ago, and Trump hadn't endorsed anyone until after he did.

Dems are urging him to drop out of the gubernatorial race because it helps their chances of winning.  If they really gave a shit about any of this they’d be asking him to leave his congressional seat, which they are not.  

Wrong.

Eric Swalwell must be expelled over misconduct claims, lawmakers say - The Washington Post

Looks like Swalwell's political career is over.  Although I guess the presidency is still in play.  Multiple allegations of sexual assault don't seem to be an impediment to attaining that office, at least not in recent years.

Almost 1/2 of the Republican primary voters voted for him. How do you think Swalwell will do? I am wildly guessing 4th out of the Democrats.

Seems like you’re really straining to try and paint this as a gotcha. Republicans forced Gonzales out, Swalell looks like he’s done as well. Good for both sides in this case. 

Comparing a jungle primary to a partisan primary is a fools errand.

I want to see if he stands by what he said. Gonna be a bad look in court if a plaintiff’s lawyer plays this clip

A good friend will bail you out of jail, but your best friend will be sitting next to you in the cell saying "that was f***ing awesome"

@all4you “when you can’t have it, you must take it”

 

That is a man who fully embraced his senior quote. Props to him on the follow through.

To be sure, it's no Brett Kavanaugh senior picture.
