…Despite the seriousness of the accusations against #EricSwalwell, many aspects of the FBI’s request to the Federal #AirMarshal Service were unusual, current & former officials said. For one thing, the #FBI does not usually investigate #SexualAssault. For another, asking air marshals to obtain a subject’s electronic passcodes is considered out of the ordinary even for traditional subjects of #surveillance.…

But #EricSwalwell is an enemy of sorts to the #Trump admin. For years, the #Democrat has been one of Trump’s most visible political antagonists, having served as a manager in the president’s second #impeachment trial. Deputy Chief of Staff #StephenMiller has called Swalwell a “scumbag” on national TV. And #FBI Dir #KashPatel …described him as one of the “corrupt actors of the first order” in his 2023 book, Government Gangsters.

The #FBI had asked the Federal #AirMarshal Service to covertly monitor #EricSwalwell on board & to watch him use his electronic devices, to see whether officers could visually ascertain his passcodes‼️, acc/to records obtained not previously reported. Air marshals are trained to blend in with other passengers & quietly keep tabs on their subjects, who are usually suspected terrorists or potential hijackers, NOT politicians.

The #AirMarshals Keeping Watch On #EricSwalwell
The #FBI made a highly irregular request for #surveillance of one #Trump’s most visible critics.
On august 8, former Rep Eric Swalwell boarded a United Airlines flight from Frankfurt, Germany, to Washington, DC. He didn’t know it, but federal agents were watching him throughout the 9-hr trip.

#EricSwalwell resigned from #Congress in April after reporting from CNN & the San Francisco Chronicle detailed allegations of sexual misconduct.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office & the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department opened #criminal investigations into Swalwell in the wake of the reporting. The raids this weekend are part of a federal investigation connected to the claims of #SexualAssault….

Since #Trump took office, his admin has mounted an aggressive campaign to use federal law enforcement agencies to pursue his political adversaries, repeatedly.
…Even against this backdrop, a proposal to release extensive files, send agents to China to interview a suspected intelligence operative & offer her a #US #visa in exchange for unreliable revelations about a US congressman would be extraordinary.

Internal #DOJ policy has long said that law enforcement should refrain from taking any public investigatory steps against a political candidate in the 60 days before an #election, to prevent even the appearance of the department using its power to sway the #vote.
…The #California gubernatorial primary is June 2.

“Most troubling about this is that we are now literally at #war. We also face threats against the homeland,” #EricSwalwell said in a statement. “#KashPatel should be spending every moment trying to keep us safe, not scoring political points. A lot of people have bent the knee to this administration. But I will not, & neither will the people of California.”

#EricSwalwell was not accused of any wrongdoing when the #FBI investigated his relationship with Fang a decade ago. In 2023, the #Republican-led #House #Ethics Cmte closed a 2-year investigation into the congressman, deciding to “take no further action.”

The Chinese woman at issue is Christine Fang,…[dubbed Fang Fang by #racist #MAGA types & #Trump], who reportedly courted #EricSwalwell & other #California politicians in the #US from 2011 to 2015. She helped with fundraising for Swalwell’s 2014 reelection campaign & even helped place an intern in his congressional office. When federal agents conveyed their concerns about Fang to Swalwell around 2015, he cut off ties with her & helped investigators.

As #FBI director, #KashPatel has focused on trying to bring a criminal case against the outspoken Democrat, reassigning multiple agents in San Francisco to work on the matter, the current & former ofcls said. FBI leaders have even discussed sending agents to China to talk to the suspected intelligence operative, believing she could have damaging information about #EricSwalwell, acc/to 2 of the people….

The potential release is part of the #Trump admin’s aggressive push to investigate #EricSwalwell, [who served as an #impeachment manager (prosecutor) during Trump's 2nd impeachment trial], a vocal critic of #Trump & a leading Democratic candidate for #California #governor, acc/to the people familiar with the effort. It is highly unusual for the #FBI to release case files tied to a probe that did NOT result in criminal charges.

#FBI Director #KashPatel is pressing to release a decade-old investigative file involving Rep. #EricSwalwell (D-California) & a suspected Chinese intelligence operative, recently dispatching agents in the Bureau’s San Francisco office to quickly redact the files before they are released publicly despite NO evidence of wrongdoing by Swalwell, according to three people familiar with the effort.
