A fifth Eric Swalwell accuser has come forward alleging sexual misconduct after the California Democrat resigned from Congress and suspended his California gubernatorial campaign. Lonna Drewes delivered jaw-dropping allegations she claimed happened in 2018, stating that Swalwell raped her, choked her, and drugged her while his wife was pregnant. Swalwell has denied all of the sexual assault allegations that have recently surfaced about him.
Lefty billionaire Stephen Cloobeck says he had severed ties with Swalwell and asked him to leave his mansion. Cloobeck has left the Democratic Party over the scandal, considering himself a Blue Dog Democrat. As the sexual misconduct allegations have surfaced, Swalwell lost nearly all endorsements and the increased scrutiny could lead to a criminal investigation.
The problem is these kinds of people once they rise in the ranks believe themselves to be untouchable, said accuser Ally Sammarco. “He never thought that the consequences of his actions would follow him.”
Eric Swalwell’s biggest mistake was going against Democratic Party leadership. The leftist progressive Democratic Party machine will stop at nothing to capture and maintain power, even if it means taking out one of their own. When he was caught having an affair with Chinese Spy Fang Fang, he was still a useful idiot. But, when he decided to enter the race for governor in California without leadership’s permission, potentially splitting the Democratic Party vote in the Golden State’s jungle primary as two Republicans rose to the top of the polls, he became a problem, and the Democrats decided to take him out.
He wants the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, a standard he and his party never granted Trump or Kavanaugh; but when you cross horns with the Democratic Party elite, the punishment is quick, severe, and thorough. And when the Democratic elite struck, the media jumped right in, more than willing to broadcast as if it was a surprise the story of Swalwell’s sexual misconduct – a truth that had been an open secret in Democratic Party circles for well over a decade. The beginning of the end started with a report regarding the allegations by the San Francisco Chronicle. CNN follow that up pretty quickly, and despite Swalwell’s denials, the story swelled and crossed the country from sea to shining sea before Swalwell could stop the bleeding.
Swalwell was only a local politician before the Democratic Party decided to make him a contender. Once they decided he was their useful idiot to mold his war chest grew by the millions of dollars pretty quickly. He rose from obscurity to notoriety quickly, becoming Nancy Pelosi’s golden boy. He was the guy being groomed to step in behind Gavin Newsom once they either put him somewhere important, or set him aside. Swalwell was the next big thing in the Democratic Party.
Party leadership elites, labor unions, donors, and lobbyists all got behind Swalwell. They elevated him and protected him as he rode the big blue elevator toward the top floor. To the Democrats it takes a village to create a success, but it can also take a village to take you down, and now Swalwell knows this to be true all too well. They knew who he was and what he was, but they propped him up and played the game until he got too big for his britches. Now, the media and his former allies say he’s a monster. When he decided to run for governor, and risk splitting the Democratic Party vote in California, someone pulled together the rumors, the women, and the allegations. Then, the press got wind (and there was no coincidence there), and unleashed it with a blow torch.
In a press conference, President Trump’s Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt said of the sudden firestorm, “I think it’s also quite plausible, as you point out, Jack, that there were many other Democrats in this town on Capitol Hill who knew about his perhaps illegal behavior, certainly his disgusting and inappropriate behavior. And why were they silent for so long? I think those are questions that must be raised of the sitting representatives including Mr. Gallego [Ruben Gallego, U.S. Senator, Arizona], and I hope the journalists in this room will do their jobs and the journalists on Capitol Hill will do their job and ask Democrats in power how they knew about such despicable behavior from one of their elected representatives for so long, but never said or did anything about it.”
The Democrats knew that Swalwell was a creep, but he was a valuable piece on the game board. He was obedient and easy to control. And, him being a creep gave them exactly what they needed to keep him under control. His behavior was a gift for them. There’s a reason they didn’t get rid of him after his Fang Fang affair – he was still a useful idiot, and as long as he was useful, they would protect him.
During and after Fang Fang, Swalwell became Pelosi’s eyes and ears in the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, eventually becoming the top Democrat on the CIA subcommittee. It wasn’t until January of 2023 that Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy removed Swalwell from the Intelligence Committee – eight years after Fang Fang, and eight years after Pelosi had put Swalwell on that committee.
The rumors about Swalwell’s sexual behavior was already bubbling around, too. Fang Fang was a manifestation of Swalwell’s inability to keep his desires in his pants. Pelosi surely knew about his behavior. She was the queen (perhaps still is) of the Democratic Party. Yet, she kept Swalwell in place. She knew everything about everyone. Politicians. Pundits. Family members of political people who caught her interest. Pelosi knows more about people than the mafia. So, if she knew about Swalwell’s behavior all along, does that not point to the consideration that what is happening to Swalwell is a Pelosi-ordered political hit?
Of course, everyone in Washington D.C. knew. They spend time together. They take trips together. They talk to each other in whispers. Swalwell was well known to be a guy who was willing to take advantage of the fact that there were women around him that needed things, or liked hanging in that kind of crowds, and was willing to do whatever they thought was necessary to perhaps get a little more ahead. To get a few favors. Or to be in cahoots with the right people.
Congress even has a slush fund for settling lawsuits that might pop up regarding sexual misconduct and other workplace disputes – and the thing has been around since 1995.
So, if the Democrats and the machine in Washington knew all about Swalwell, why was the information suddenly released now? Am I right that it was a political hit job?
Jack Posobiec recently talked to Madison Cawthorn, former United States Congressman, and he said, “I came out and said what was going on inside Washington D.C., something I assumed was common knowledge across America…the Swamp did what the Swamp always does. They systematically targeted and attacked. You know, the Swamp is so accustomed to the uniparty, you know both sides of the aisle, so accustomed to patriots getting elected to Congress, getting there for the first time, and then realizing, oh, this is too big of a problem for me to tackle on my own, I’m really not gonna be able to get anything done, and these people offer me power, they offer me a position, they offer me money, why would I try and mess up this apple cart…I might as well ride it as long as I can. I called the Swamp out, and then leadership called me into the office and said, ‘hey listen, we can make sure you have a swimming primary, everything is going to go great, you’ll have a great election, we just need you to be a team player.’ I held my ground. I said ‘no.’ And you saw exactly what happened. They unleashed all hell upon me trying to destroy my name, trying to the reputation of myself and the reputation of my family. But even that wouldn’t stick, Jack, it wasn’t enough. So, then they changed my state constitution to go in and redraw my congressional district to give me a very moderate, easily confused, and easily manipulated district. Why do they do this, Jack? Because they wanted to cover up the sexual perversion and the drugs that are being done inside of Washington D.C. And, Jack, I didn’t have to wait for vindication that came just now when we saw Tony Gonzalez have everything that came out with him, what happened with Eric Swalwell, which has been – you know – the fact that it didn’t come out earlier is insane because he sleeps with Chinese spies – but, really, just mere months after I was ousted out of office by members of our own party and on the other side of the aisle, then we saw sex tapes coming out of staffers video-taping themselves inside of the Senate Hearing Chambers, and then we find cocaine inside of the White House. This kind of behavior inside of Washington D.C. is pervasive. I thought it was disgusting. I thought the American People needed to know. And the Swamp destroyed me for it…by proxy you’re let know, hey, if this happens you’re going to be sued for this and you’re going to be sued for that, you’re going to be attacked for this, you know, maybe you got a speeding ticket here, or we’re going to call your governor and have your state police try and give you tickets every second they can. They are going to make your life very very difficult. And, you know, I live a pretty great life, I have an amazing family. My friends are really true and loyal friends. So, I felt pretty untouchable. I am financially extremely secure, blessedly so…even me they were able to attack so ferociously, and so aggressively, and they wanted to use me…he’s a superstar within the MAGA movement, and if we can take him down, imagine what we can do to you. And that is essentially what the environment is like inside of Washington D.C….everybody is trying to do everything they can to not upset the apple-cart…then they’ll offer them carrots. Wouldn’t you like the subcommittee chairmanship? Imagine all the good you can do if you didn’t take this one guy down – he was just having a little fun…it’s very different if you are someone inside of Washington D.C. who is married and is out gallivanting with women…and usually it’s so they can hold it over someone’s head, whether it is a honey pot operation or whatever, but in most circumstances…hey, you are not that funny, you do not randomly significantly get more attractive… and three outrageous looking tens walk up to you and say, ‘hey, we’d like to have a foursome,’ I promise you, you are not that funny or not that attractive – they are there to hold leverage over you. And that is what’s going on…once they get caught inside one of these rings of people holding these things over their heads, ‘well, if this is being held over my head, I might as well go ahead and go out and have a good time.’ And, so they start willfully going out and doing this…I do know there’s a lot of sexual perversion, a lot of people who don’t care about the rings they wear on their left hands.”
Once the blackmail folder is filled with images and videos and potential testimony against you, they’ve got you. Vote the right way, follow the leadership’s directions, and things will be fine. Step out of line, the word goes out, and you become just another useful idiot that has been transformed into a statistic. Goodbye.
The Democratic Party controls its members through blackmail, and Swalwell is simply one of the most recent cases of a political hit job because he stepped off the narrow bridge they wanted him to walk on. They have a blackmail file on all of their members, and it’s the tool they use for leverage and control until it’s time to let the hit job fly.
Pelosi put out the hit on Biden because he became a liability. Now, Swalwell became a liability, and now it was time to make him gone. According to Senator Josh Hawley, Nancy Pelosi was the one that put the hit out on Swalwell. And she’ll keep doing it until she passes the baton to the next Democratic Party elite that replaces her on the throne.
Senator Josh Hawley has since proposed a bill to strip members of Congress of their pension should they be convicted of a sex offense.
Swalwell rose in the ranks because they knew they could control him. Once he put the Democratic Party at risk in California by running for governor, he had gone too far, and the hit went out on him. It’s the same playbook time and time again. Play ball, or you will get whacked.
Remember, they tried to go after Trump, but he saw it coming, and fought them the entire way. Fortunately, for Trump, despite the accusations, Trump was clean as a whistle. He was an outsider, too, which made the game even more difficult for them to play.
