Six years ago,  Swalwell, along with other members of Congress who didn't happen to be prominent in the later impeachment hearings,  was told the woman was likely a spy.   He had given her no classified information.  He helped the FBI, providing useful information, and was thanked by the FBI.   Sounds like,  based on this,  he has no disqualifying factors for being on the HIC.   So, providing evidence and some logical argument, why should he be dismissed?
Except of course FANGFANG  latched on to Swalwell when he was but a city council member in California.
She helped him raise money to run for Congress and then, as a freshman in the House,  Pelosi appointed him to the Intelligence Committee.

Red prefers congresspeople who abet foreign spies, like Devin Momcow, rather than those who help with their capture.

Red is still praying for the red army to take over.

Rep. Swalwell isn’t helping trump with that project, even in this, trump’s last hour.

There are times when the Ward School of mockery is perfectly appropriate in a debate.

Unfortunately Red has never used it in that manner.

Unsurprisingly, things got political at WHO.  So they pulled a report that evaluated Italy's response, which was intended to help other countries.  WHO was set to open a new office in Venice and didn't want Italy's feelings hurt.

I don't have much confidence the report would have changed anything elsewhere.  But it does make the WHO look bad in that they put politics and good relations ahead of objective info. 

They also had to babysit China and the UK.  So you have to wonder if they can develop a backbone.  All the every day/year diplomacy has to take a backseat to dealing with a global health emergency properly.

Red misses Hillary. His life was so clear when she was the cause of all his problems.

Now when he looks in the mirror, he just sees her looking back and laughing at him.

The situation is getting really deplorable.

White Christmas for anyone here?

https://www.accuweather.com/en/winter-weather/large-winter-storm-to-bring-christmas-mischief/870345?utm_medium=push&utm_source=pushly&utm_content=741355&utm_campaign=pushly_manual


Speaking of ‘White Christmas ‘

“Every time you listen to Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas,” about five people have died of the virus between the beginning and the end of the song.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/12/19/death-every-30-seconds/

So...don't listen to it?

Come on, man. Focus on the positive, for once. We still get to listen to White Christmas because we aren't being stupid.

WHO usually has the backing of Uncle Sam but Trump killed that.

Cori Bush is 100% correct in her thinking.
Biden should do what she wants.

I'm worried he let some valuable intel slip out when he was voting on pay raises for the dogcatcher.

But by all means, remain focused on Swalwell, as that is the most important issue facing the country.
