“Most troubling about this is that we are now literally at #war. We also face threats against the homeland,” #EricSwalwell said in a statement. “ #KashPatel should be spending every moment trying to keep us safe, not scoring political points. A lot of people have bent the knee to this administration. But I will not, & neither will the people of California.”

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.
🚨Despite that, #FBI leaders have recently suggested in internal discussions that the govt could try to arrange for Fang to get a #US #visa in exchange for speaking with FBI agents about the Democrat, acc/to the 3 people with knowledge of Patel’s efforts. It would be highly unorthodox to grant a visa to a person suspected of being an #intelligence agent for a foreign superpower.

…Even if there is no incriminating evidence in the files, an extensive case file could contain revealing & personal details about #EricSwalwell & his campaign operations.
The lengths that Patel’s circle is going to in the bid to pursue a political foe of #Trump has raised alarms within the #FBI, where some ofcls fear that releasing the files—even with redactions—could compromise law enforcement #sources & investigatory #methods, making it harder for the FBI to gain trust with witnesses.
#EricSwalwell was not accused of any wrongdoing when the #FBI investigated his relationship with Fang a decade ago. In 2023, the #Republican-led #House #Ethics Cmte closed a 2-year investigation into the congressman, deciding to “take no further action.”

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.

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….

#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.

Why would the FBI shrink wrap Renee Good's car?
The only possible reason I can think of that makes much sense to me is to prevent anyone examining the car carefully and discovering that the claim that Good hit Jonathan Ross with the car is a total lie.

Court papers filed Wednesday do not reveal the settlement amount, but a person familiar with the matter…confirmed the total as about $1.2 million.
The settlement resolves a 2023 lawsuit in which Flynn sought at least $50 million & asserted that the criminal case against him amounted to a malicious prosecution.
[if you played #guilty, then you are admitting that you broke the law. So how could it be malicious prosecution?]

It also represents a stark turnabout in position for a #DOJ that during the #Biden admin had pressed a judge to dismiss the complaint. AG #PamBondi, a fmr personal lawyer for #Trump, has been a vocal critic of the #Russia investigation in which #MichaelFlynn was charged & the #FBI & DOJ over the last year have pushed out ofcls who participated in #criminal inquiries of Trump.
