Swalwell’s district in Northern California includes a large Chinese American population. #Republicans & #RightWing #media personalities frequently criticize Swalwell for his ties to Fang & the Chinese community, suggesting that he is improperly working with them. FBI agents need a specific investigative reason to reopen a closed investigation. People familiar with the probe said it is unclear how or why the #FBI reopened its examination of #EricSwalwell.

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.

#Trump Admin Begins Investigations Into Three Medical Schools -

“The Justice Department’s demands for all admissions-related data for past seven years by April 23 from Stanford, #Ohio State and the University of #California, San Diego, represent a flex of federal power.”

“The administration also demanded copies of any internal messages at the universities about diversity, equity and inclusion.”

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.

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 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.

#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.
