Nancy Pelosi Had the Dirt on Eric Swalwell and Used It Like a Pro: Josh Hawley

Sen. Josh Hawley discussed concerns about congressional leadership and accountability during a conversation with Fox News host Jesse Watters, focusing on past intelligence briefings, internal party dynamics, and a new legislative proposal targeting pensions for convicted lawmakers.

Hawley said he believes former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was aware of concerns involving Rep. Eric Swalwell prior to recent developments, referencing a prior FBI briefing.

“I don’t have any doubt about it, Jesse, because he had become a liability,” Hawley said.

He said Pelosi had been informed about potential risks tied to Swalwell as early as 2020.

“And you pointed out she knew all about this,” Hawley said. “She was briefed by the FBI back in 2020 that the guy was a target of a Chinese spy, Fang Fang.”

Hawley also referenced the broader situation involving the alleged spy.

“And by the way, Fang Fang probably got a medal of commendation,” he said. “That’s like the worst espionage assignment in the history of the world.”

He said the situation created political risks for party leadership.

Nancy Pelosi Denies That Democrats Had Any Advanced Knowledge of Eric Swalwell’s Behavior

Today on CSPAN, former house speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked if she or other Democrats had any advanced knowledge of Eric Swalwell’s behavior or the things he has been accused of.

The host framed it as an accusation that Republicans are making, rather than pointing out that people all over the country are now admitting that Swalwell’s issues were an open secret for years.

Pelosi denied the whole thing, saying it is “absolutely not true.”

Pelosi’s comments are in direct conflict with a new report from ABC 7 in California (emphasis is ours):

U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell has suspended his campaign for California governor following sexual assault allegations, announcing the decision Sunday as scrutiny intensified around the Democratic primary race.

In a statement, Swalwell said he would step aside to address the claims.

“To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made – but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.”

The suspension immediately reshaped a closely watched contest in which Swalwell had held a narrow lead among Democrats.

Criticism of Swalwell has circulated in Washington for years, according to former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who spoke on ABC’s “This Week.”

“Every member in Congress knows not to let any young staffer around Swalwell or Matt Gaetz, it’s not a secret there,” McCarthy said.

Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown said the allegations were not unexpected, citing longstanding talk among Democratic leaders.

HUGE! Democrats Schiff, Pelosi Turn on Swalwell, Withdraw Endorsements, Call on Him to Drop Out of California Governor’s Race Amid Sexual Assault Allegations

Creepy Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell is going down in flames.

Swalwell is currently running as a Democrat in California’s gubernatorial race.

As TGP reported earlier on Friday, The San Francisco Chronicle published a story about a woman who claimed that Democrat Eric Swalwell sexually assaulted her twice.

The woman, who worked as a staffer in Swalwell’s office for two years, told The San Francisco Chronicle that Swalwell began pursuing her just weeks after she was hired at the age of 21 in 2019.

“A woman who worked for nearly two years for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California governor, said she had sexual encounters with him while he was her boss and alleged he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent,” the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Swalwell denied the allegations.

“These allegations are false and come on the eve of an election against the frontrunner for governor,” he said.

Pelosi Says Trump and Republicans May Hack Into Voting Machines to Rig Vote Count in 2026 Midterm Elections

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claimed President Trump and the Republicans are going to go into the voting machines and change the vote count to steal the 2026 midterm elections.

Pelosi, who previously announced she will be retiring after decades in Congress, sat down with MS NOWS’s Ali Vitali to discuss the 2026 midterm elections, Joe Biden, the partial government shutdown, female candidates for president, and other topics.

“I always thought the American people were much more ready for ‘Madam President’ than Congress was for ‘Madam Speaker,’ because it is a marble ceiling,” she said. “It’s not a glass ceiling; it’s a marble ceiling,” Pelosi said.

Pelosi took a swipe at Kamala Harris and said Hillary Clinton was the most qualified person of our generation to run for president.

“She turned out so many more people than who would have voted,” Pelosi said.

At one point, the conversation turned to election integrity and the 2026 midterm elections.

Nancy Pelosi said Trump and the Republicans may try to hack the voting machines and steal the midterms by altering the vote count.

“We always have concerns, but with this president and the Republicans who have no commitment to the rule of law and doing things the appropriate way- we’re ready,” Pelosi said.

She continued, “We have to make sure the elections are safe…. We have to be on guard as to what [the Republicans] may try to do to the technology. They may try to creep into the technology and create a false count,” Pelosi said.

MS NOW’s Ali Vitali entertained Pelosi’s claims.

“How do you guard against that?” she asked Pelosi.

“That’s a challenge,” Pelosi said.

Pelosi Loses It – Starts Chomping Her Dentures After Trump Calls Her Out for Insider Trading

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi was caught on camera playing with her dentures on Tuesday after President Trump called her out for insider trading during his SOTU Address.

President Trump roasted Democrats during his State of the Union Address for standing up against insider trading.

Trump called out crooked Nancy Pelosi: “Did Nancy Pelosi stand up for this?

Did Nancy Pelosi Just Threaten President Trump?

In a wide-ranging interview on ABC’s “This Week”, bumbling Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi declared that while President Donald Trump has regained the White House, he will ultimately “pay a price in history” for his role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Speaking with co-anchor Jonathan Karl just days before the new year, Pelosi rejected the notion that Trump has escaped consequences what she called an insurrection on January 6th, 2021, insisting that the judgment of posterity will be severe despite his current political resurgence. The former House Speaker expressed profound frustration with what she claimed was Trump’s ongoing efforts to “rewrite history”.

Pelosi dramatically recalled the danger of that day, describing the rioters’ intent to put “a bullet in my … head” and noting the gallows erected for then-Vice President Mike Pence, which she cited as evidence of the mob’s lethal intent. Pushing back against claims that she delayed security reinforcements, Pelosi claimed that congressional leaders “begged” Trump to deploy the National Guard, but “typical of him, he never represents the truth” about his refusal to act. Yet her own daughter filmed her on that take literally taking responsibility for failing to secure the capitol.

Beyond the events of January 6, Pelosi offered a delusional assessment of Trump’s character and governance, characterizing him as a “rogue” president who has undermined the Constitution and “scared people” legally residing in the country. She also criticized the current Republican-led Congress, arguing that GOP lawmakers have effectively “abolished” the House of Representatives by ceding their institutional power and acting as “toadies” to the President.

The interview highlighted the long-standing animosity between the two leaders, with Karl revisiting iconic moments of their feud, such as Pelosi ripping up Trump’s State of the Union address and her confrontational exit from a White House Cabinet meeting. Pelosi defended those past actions as spontaneous responses to Trump’s conduct. As she prepares to retire from Congress after nearly four decades of destructive service, Pelosi’s final warning focused on the fragility of American institutions, asserting that the country “cannot withstand an assault on the Capitol, the Congress, the Constitution” if such actions are allowed to stand normalized. Talk about projection.

Pelosi to Exit Congress with One of the Largest Pensions on Record

Members of Congress become eligible for a pension after at least five years of service, and the benefit calculation  depends on when they were first elected. Lawmakers first elected in 1984 or later are covered under FERS, and those who entered Congress before 2013 qualify for a higher accrual rate than members elected afterward.

Pelosi began her service in the House of Representatives in June 1987 after winning a special election to fill a vacancy. By the end of the 119th Congress on January 3, 2027, she will have served more than 39 years. Her pension is calculated based on her three highest-earning years of salary, which includes her time as Speaker of the House at $223,500 per year, compared to $174,000 for rank-and-file members. The estimated pension figure—which excludes any spousal set-aside that reduces the member pension so the surviving spouse can collect partial payments—reflects one of the most substantial benefits available to any current or former member of Congress in FERS.

Pelosi’s Likely Successor Dwarfs Her Radicalism

With the Wicked Witch of the West Coast — a.k.a. Nancy Pelosi — finally retiring from Congress, the race is on for her broom ride to Washington, DC. Unfortunately, if you can believe it, those seeking to fill this congressional power vacuum are even more ideologically and morally duplicitous.

One such front-runner candidate for Pelosi’s seat is California State Senator Scott Wiener.

Wiener, a San Francisco politician, has generated immense human suffering in the Golden State. He’s responsible for SB 132, the 2020 law that allows males misidentifying as females to be housed in women’s prisons. This heinous legislation has turned into a form of cruel and unusual punishment for incarcerated females, many of whom have been raped, harassed, and intimidated by mentally ill males.

Wiener would rather see these women experience brutalization than admit that his stance is terribly wrong. In fact, whenever he’s confronted with the issue, he shuts down, doesn’t actually address the problem, and in some cases calls those who protest it “disgusting.”

Wiener is also behind SB 357, a law that decriminalized loitering with the intent to solicit prostitution. Guess what that hellish decision led to? The sexual slavery of young women and men — some of whom are minors — who are being flaunted with impunity down the streets of Los Angeles. This is not justice. It’s a tragedy.

SB 357 is even unpopular with some Democrat lawmakers because when legislators tried to introduce a bill to protect these vulnerable children by prosecuting their customers, Wiener and his ilk changed the legislation beyond all recognition.

Wiener was behind SB 107, which made California a sanctuary kidnapping state for gender-confused kids to run to if their families disagree with their adoption of gender pathology. As California Policy Center President Will Swaim put it, “Team Wiener says the law, which Newsom signed in 2022, protects vulnerable kids from bad parents and regressive red-state policies. You might say it violates parental rights, encourages runaways, and makes those kids vulnerable to abuse, including sex trafficking.”

These are but a taste of Wiener’s legislative bugaboos. If any bill has anything to do with the promotion of promiscuous sex and/or annihilating the freedoms of parents and the safety of children from predatory behavior, his name is generally associated with it. Even recently, after black lesbian rap artist Tish Hyman got kicked out of her gym for confronting a gender-confused man for being in a women-only space, guess who Wiener defended? Hint: It wasn’t the black lesbian; it was the wife-beating, gender-confused sociopath.

Forget Pelosi, Here’s Why You Should Fear Her Likely Successor

It was a good day this week when Nancy Pelosi announced her intention to retire at the end of this term. There has been speculation for years that she would retire soon, and it is finally happening. The problem? Her replacement may actually be much, much worse than her.

The man who has been looking to replace her in Congress in State Sen. Scott Weiner. His record is so radical that we’ve actually discussed him many times here at PJ Media. He checks all the boxes for the radical left: fanatically obsessed with climate change lawsuits, a champion for “trans refuge” policies that upend families and public safety, and always eager to line up with the most extreme social experiment the Sacramento swamp can devise.

Pelosi’s announcement that she won’t seek reelection has all but cleared the path for Wiener, whose campaign website is already up and running, and features a pride flag as part of his branding.

Earlier this year, Wiener authored legislation giving wildfire victims a blank check to sue oil companies for “climate change-related damages.” Instead of holding the real culprits accountable for California’s wildfire crisis — years of mismanagement, neglected forests, and feckless bureaucracy — Wiener wants to let trial lawyers loot Big Oil in the name of justice. The bill does a neat job of distracting from government failure, while inviting a legal circus that rewards people for blaming anyone but the inept officials actually responsible.

Wiener’s zeal for legislating the culture war is unmatched. In 2023, he pushed AB 957, rewriting California’s Family Code so that if a parent doesn’t “affirm” his or her child’s “gender identity,” a judge could deny the parent custody of their child during divorce proceedings.

This isn’t Wiener’s only foray into pushing the sexual boundaries that the left favors. He’s the architect of SB 145, dubbed the “pro-pedophile” bill, which essentially decriminalizes sex with certain minors under the guise of “equity” for the LGBTQ community.

The Pipe Bomber’s Actions Were Necessary to Enable Speaker Pelosi to Certify the 2020 Election for Joe Biden

It turns out that the pipe bomber on Jan 6 was not a man, as had been assumed for more than four years.  Reports over the past 48 hours claim that the pipe bomber was a Capitol policewoman by the name of Shauni Rae Kerkhoff.  This comes after more than four years of not knowing who the pipe bomber was.

It appears that the FBI and Capitol Police were not interested in identifying the person who planted pipe bombs on the evening of January 5th near the RNC and DNC buildings in DC. Is this because the pipe bomber was one of them, and if it were found out that the Capitol Police were involved with the pipe bombs found on Jan 6, Americans would be outraged with the news?

Perhaps an even bigger reason to cover up the identity of the pipe bomber is that the planting of pipe bombs at the Capitol on the eve of Jan 6 was necessary to ensure the certification of the 2020 election for Joe Biden.
