Democrat Eric Swalwell fears that the FBI will soon release files related to an investigation into him and a suspected Communist Chinese spy from a decade ago. Swalwell claims he’s been cleared of any wrongdoing and that FBI Director Kash Patel and President Donald Trump are out to get him and ruin his chances of being elected as California’s next governor. He says don’t trust the FBI. However, he was whistling a different tune three years ago. Back then, he claimed the FBI needed to be trusted to back up his claims of innocence. Oopsie!

What a video. Can’t make this up.
2023. Swalwell says not to take his word that he didn’t do anything wrong with the Chinese spy, but instead to take the FBI’s word for it. 🤪
Hey Swalwell, if the FBI doesn’t have anything, what are you fighting to stop them from releasing? pic.twitter.com/9I91GmItRm

Swalwell begged us to trust the FBI back when they buried it under Biden. Now he’s lawyering up to block Kash from dropping the truth. Classic deep state panic.

There’s ALWAYS a clip. ALWAYS.

Yes, Twitchy-favorite MAZE always seems to uncover it.
Posters say 2023’s Swalwell was on to something. We should trust the FBI as he suggested.
I’ll take @FBIDirectorKash‘ word for it when he releases the Fang Fang Files!@ericswalwell said it himself, let’s take the #FBI‘s word for it!
RELEASE THE FILES!

@RepSwalwell so we will take the FBI’s word when they release the files on you…deal!

Seems fair to us. The FBI has Swalwell’s seal of approval, after all.
Posters say Swalwell is a target of espionage because he has access to so much important information. If he wants to be trusted, then the public needs to see his FBI files.
He sat on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and is presently on the House Committee on Homeland Security.
Regardless of your opinion of the guy, someone who was potentially honeypotted — and this isn’t even for debate — is a liability.

Me thinks he doth protest too much…this was a cover-up. The FBI was ordered to bury it. pic.twitter.com/7LnBkazyYD

Swalwell probably never imagined Trump returning to the White House when he touted the FBI’s trustworthiness back in 2023.
Oh well. Posters online are having a blast coming up with memes about Swalwell and suspected Communist Chinese asset, Fang Fang.

Why are you fighting this FBI now? 😂.
Release the Swalwell files!

We’re going to need to see those files, Eric. The FBI can be trusted. You said so yourself.
