Fascism Alert: Rep. Eric “Fang Fang” Swalwell Vows to Go After Private Citizens Working With President Trump Should Democrats Seize Control of Congress

The Democrats will be targeting ordinary Americans to retailate against the Trump Adminstration for holding disgraced former FBI Director James Comey accountable along with people who have worked with President Trump to clean up corruption and go after bad actors.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Department of Justice indicted Comey on Thursday on charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice.

This came days after Trump issued a public demand for his Justice Department to act “now” to bring prosecutions against Comey for his crimes.

Comey repeatedly lied to Congress and the FISA Court in order to spy on Trump in the Russiagate scandal, something he knew was completely made up back in 2016.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-China) went on CNN this morning and vowed revenge on the Trump Administration.

He stated that should Democrats gain control of Congress, they would subpoena the Department of Justice and try to bully them into coughing up answers.

“We’re going into the majority a year from now,” Swalwell said. “We will bring oversight…We will subpoena the Department of Justice.”

Swalwell then made clear private citizens who had worked with Trump would be in the Democrat bullseye if his party seizes control of Congress. So, fascism is on the menu.

“But also private actors who have done these drug deals with the administration,” Swalwell stated. “College campuses, entertainment companies, law firms…”

“So, accountability is coming,” he added. “It’s all coming out.”

“I hope that deters people from doing more of these deals for the president.”

Sleazebag Eric Swalwell Goes Full Unhinged — Says Republicans Should Be “Buried Below the Capitol”

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), best known for his ties to Chinese spy Christine Fang and for humiliating himself on national television, went completely unhinged during an appearance on CNN Newsroom, where he openly fantasized about “burying Republicans below the Capitol.”

During the segment, host Omar Jimenez reminded Swalwell of Michelle Obama’s infamous mantra, “when they go low, we go high.”

But instead of embracing the supposedly lofty ideals Democrats love to preach, Swalwell spat venom.

Omar Jimenez:
Do you have any concern that it seems like ancient history at this point, but obviously, in the earlier Obama years, there was, of course, the old adage that at this point is old: “When they go low, we go high.”

It seems that fighting fire with fire meets them at that low point, I guess, to use that metaphor. Do you have any concern that this could overreach or could backfire?

Eric Swalwell:
No. When they go low, we’re going to bury them below the Capitol. That’s what we’re going to do, because this is about protecting democracy. Right now, as you see, D.C. has been militarized, and we were weak as Democrats, frankly.

Dem Rep. Eric Swalwell Vows Use of ‘Subpoena Power’ to Investigate Whether Elon Musk’s Starlink Rigged Election For Trump

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell has stoked a conspiracy theory Elon Musk used his Starlink satellite network to rig the 2024 presidential election for Trump.

During an appearance with a left-wing podcaster, Swalwell was asked about the integrity of the previous election and the role that Starlink may have played.

The host remarked:

The enemies allegedly stole U.S. data. The leak came through Elon Musk’s Starlink. I mean, I’m sure you’ve heard people, based on all of this information that’s happened since then, wonder if 2024 was secure. But more importantly, Representative, about 2026 and 2028, can you talk about that a little bit? Do you have concerns?

Swalwell, who is best known for being honey-trapped by a Chinese spy named Fang Fang, responded:

Elon Musk has done nothing in the last five months to make me think that we shouldn’t ask questions about what the hell he was doing in 2024.

Maybe we gave him too much of the benefit of the doubt, you know, after the election, but the way that he’s conducted himself with DOGE, and the way that, you know, he’s exposed us to so many hackers outside.

The way that he’s taken data, you know, from Americans, from our records — whether it’s Social Security or health care records, the only way that we can understand, you know, what the hell Elon Musk has been doing is to be in the majority.

Swalwell added that being in the majority would give Democrats “subpoena power,” which he would use to investigate the spurious allegations.

Eric Swalwell Says Trump’s Madison Square Garden Rally Was Worse Than Hitler

Democrats are competing to see who can have the most hysterical reaction to former President Donald Trump’s political rally on Sunday at Madison Square Garden.

From Mediaite, “Eric Swalwell Pushes Loony Claim Trump’s MSG Rally Was Worse Than Hitler”:

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) compared the Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden in 1939 favorably to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s event there on Sunday.

[…] Reacting to a clip of Hinchcliffe’s remarks on X, Swalwell deemed them enough to render the event more condemnable than even the 1939 [German American Bund] rally.

“Trump’s MAGA Square Garden rally is making Hitler’s rally there look like a basket weaving convention,” he wrote on X.

The jokes Tony Hinchcliffe told were worse than the Holocaust.

Rep. Eric Swalwell Testifies in Case to Keep Trump Off the Ballot

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) testified on Oct. 30 in a trial in Colorado in a case that seeks to keep former President Donald Trump from appearing on the Colorado primary ballot.

Mr. Swalwell testified via video conference, describing the events of Jan. 6, 2021, from his perspective. He was in the Capitol when the Electoral College votes were being certified and had “gaveled” the Congress in that day, leading the pledge of allegiance.

“We connected the president’s tweets to our own safety in the chambers,” he said, “and the integrity of the proceedings taking place.”

Attorneys showed him a post on Twitter, now known as X, in which President Trump wrote that Vice President Mike Pence didn’t have the “courage” to give states “a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify.”

“USA demands the truth!” the president wrote.

“We interpreted it as a target had been painted on the Capitol,” Mr. Swalwell said.
