…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.

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.

Democratic Rep Jimmy Gomez, who helped run Swalwell’s campaign, said he’s immediately ending his role.
“The congressman should leave the race now so there can be full accountability without doubt, distraction, or delay,” Gomez posted.
