If only the Democrats in D.C. were as nice to conservatives as they are to Chinese spies maybe the country wouldnt be so divided.

Do you agree, U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell?

According to reports, the California congressman and former presidential candidate had a close relationship with a Chinese national called Fang Fang.

How close? Well, Axios reported that, Amid a widening counterintelligence probe, federal investigators became so alarmed by Fangs behavior and activities that around 2015 they alerted Swalwell to their concerns giving him what is known as a defensive briefing.

This is where the story getsreallyinteresting.

Fang left the country unexpectedly in mid-2015 amid the investigation, the report reads. In other words, not long after Swalwell was briefed by the FBI, Fang Fang skipped town.

Im no Sherlock Holmes, but the timing of Fangs sudden farewell seems slightly suspicious to me. But rather than resign or even admit wrongdoing, Swalwell did what all good Dems do when in a bind he blamed Donald Trump. After all, being a Democrat means never having to say youre sorry.

When asked about the Axios report, Swalwell said, Ive been a critic of the president. Ive spoken out against him. I was on both committees that worked to impeach him. The timing feels like that should be looked at.

Swalwell has spoken out against the president. In fact, he was one of the most prominent promoters of the bogus Russia hoax. He once even accused the presidents son of being a Russian agent on live TV.

During a hit on MSNBC, Swalwell criticized Trumps son for meeting with a Russian lawyer and said, Stated plainly, the presidents son met with a Russian spy.

Perhaps if Swalwell had merely had one meeting with Fang Fang, he wouldnt be in his current predicament. But based off the reports, he did far more than meet her.

Perhaps worse, as of Saturday 10 days after the original Axios report was released the congressman has not been kicked off the House Intelligence Committee. Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she has full confidence in Swalwell.

In reality, she simply doesnt want to give President Trump the satisfaction of seeing one of his most smug detractors dumped.

Former House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdytold Fox News, Thats the best Nancy Pelosi could do?At 230 members, the best you can come up with is a former city councilman in California whos not smart enough to know when a woman is expressing interest in you, [whether] shes a spy?

But in all fairness, why should Eric be treated any differently than the other well-known liberals who are in bed (or in cars) with Chinese spies.

Theres Sen. Dianne Feinstein, another sharp-as-a-tack California pol, who employed a Chinese spy as a driver for over 20 years. The mainstream media had little interest in Driving Miss DiFi. They have even less interest in Erics explosive scandal.

After all, these respected publications like NPR and the New York Times have bigger news to cover like Mayor Petes love of airports or Hunter Bidens new art gallery.

According to Vanity Fair, Hunter creates his work with a metal straw he uses to blow alcohol ink onto Japanese Yupo paper, creating abstract layers of colors and concentric circles.

The smartest man Joe Biden knows is not just an artist. He also has made a name for himself in China. No, not because of his concentric circles, though Im sure those will be well received.

ABC News reported that a source familiar with Hunter Bidens tax probe said investigators are particularly interested in a 2.8-carat diamond he received from a Chinese business associate in 2017.

While Hunter says the ring is valued at $10,000, his ex-wife Kathleen claims its worth closer to $80,000.

Either way thats a lot of metal straws!

All of this begs the question: Do we have to get to the bottom of the Democrat leaders untrustworthy relationships with members of the Chinese Communist Party?

Can someone ask Rep. Maxine Waters if she can connect the dots between a Chinese businessman, a 2.8 carat diamond and the former vice presidents troubled son?

Does Pelosi think all roads lead to Xi Jinping, as they did to Putin?

And perhaps most pressing: Is Joe Biden really confident that China wont eat our lunch, or is he just confident that theyll pay for his?
