Not so Hard to Swalwell, Really

/

Start with this note: REPORT: Eric Swalwell About to Be Hit With ‘Shocking’ Number of Sexual Harassment Allegations.

Cheyenne Hunt, a lawyer, former congressional candidate and executive director of the left-wing nonprofit Gen-Z for Change, revealed on X Sunday, that she has been working with a number of women who are in the process of sharing their accusations with major news outlets. Hunt said she knew of a separate and “much larger group” of women who are also currently in the process of sharing their stories.

Swalwell’s alleged inappropriate sexual behavior is apparently an “open secret” in Washington DC, as is his practice of forcing underlings to sign nondisclosure agreements.

And now, David Strom gives you the rest of the story:

What the Swalwell Allegations Tell Us About How Politics Works

Now, because the California governor race has become a fiasco that might actually lead to a Republican winning unless a couple of Dems drop out to consolidate the vote, he needs to go. And like clockwork, here comes the orchestrated campaign of sexual harassment claims to end his career.

To be sure, Swalwell is garbage and deserves everything bad that's coming to him. But it's just amazing how the Democrats can just push a button and the machinery of the media and legal system just springs into action to eject someone from the party.

This is a guy who was caught sleeping with a Chinese spy for years, with actual evidence that he compromised national security in the process, and he remained completely protected and elevated as a major national figure. But as soon as the math stops working on the CA governor race, it all collapses underneath him.

Strum:

This is 100% right, as is the analysis. Eric Swalwell is suddenly getting savaged in the media, not because some new revelation has come out, but because a political hit was put out on him, and the reporters pulled out their research files and dumped on him. 

There is not one thing in the accusations that was not known to the people who are writing these stories, at least in broad strokes. For years, Eric Swalwell has been one of the designated liars to whom the media runs when they need a ridiculous anti-Trump quote. He regularly said things that were disproved, but the media always came back for more. 

They know he lies. He knows he is lying. It's the same with Adam Schiff, John Brennan, or any number of other liars. The press knows the liars, the scandals; they gossip among themselves and with the politicians, and as long as it is convenient, they go along and cover for them. 

But when there is Dem on Dem violence, they pick a side. Not always the same side, of course, because of internal divisions in the Party, but whenever a Democrat gets slagged like this, it's because another Democrat wants it done. 

….

"Shocking new revelations!" are, more often than not, only shocking and new for outsiders. 

For two straight years, Democratic officials, White House staffers, and media figures went on camera and said Joe Biden had a photographic memory, limitless energy, and zero signs of cognitive decline.

These are the actual quotes:

“He works us all under the table.”

“I can’t even keep up with him.”

“I never, ever, ever felt like I saw anything that was decline.”

These weren’t random supporters. These were people who rode Air Force One with him. People who walked into the Oval Office and sat across the desk.

Not one of them expressed a single concern on camera.

Then came the debate.

Within days, the same party that spent two years calling him the most accomplished president of their lifetime removed him from the ticket.

Not one person who said those things has been asked publicly to explain the difference between what they told America and what they knew.

It's the "sharp as a tack" phenomenon. Does anybody believe that the reporters didn't know they were being lied to? Or, more correctly, who doesn't believe that they were in on it? If Biden's dementia were genuinely shocking to them, they would never go back to any of the people who lied to them. But all the liars are still featured by reporters, because everybody was in on it. 

After the debate, a hit was put out on Joe Biden, which is why suddenly everybody in the media and all the Democrats piled on, forcing Joe out.

When you see negative stories about Democrats in the media, the most likely reason is that another Democrat put a hit out on them, not that a reporter discovered something genuinely new.
