Politico had the Swalwell story in 2019 but buried it when Swalwell dropped out of POTUS

One note on the Swalwell stuff - (this isn’t confirmed) but a reporter with Politico was working on verifying the rumors on Swalwell when he was running for President. (he’s no longer with the publication) Two days before he was scheduled to sit down with this reporter Swalwell dropped out of the race. The energy disappeared to potentially take him out, the victims if they were even willing to go on the record never did. He slithered back to his safe house seat. December 2025 was too early to take down Swalwell we had to wait til his paperwork was ALL IN running for governor March 2026, so the head of the snake could be chopped off and he had no safe house seat to slither back to this time. Hate the strategy fine, but for folks unsure if this would work, we had to make sure he couldn’t get away like he did in 2020.

It appears that in 2019 Politico went from "Me Too" to "Meh." Michael Trujillo says that they had the story, but (when Swalwell dropped out of the presidential race) "the energy disappeared to potentially take him out." So allegedly raping women was no longer a story?...
This was just after the wall-to-wall Kavanaugh stories with Swalwell leading the mob. However, Trujuillo said "we had to make sure he couldn’t get away like he did in 2020." Well, he didn't really "get away" in 2020, right? The media let him go, according to your account...
In the meantime, Swalwell was allowed a pass despite allegations that he was sexually assaulting women. While he was not running for president, he was a member of Congress. It often appears that, for the media, the timing is never quite right to pursue Democratic scandals.
As a Democratic strategist with past ties to Hillary Clinton and others, it is a curious rationalization that he would have simply "slithered back" to his "safe house seat." It was a safe seat because of the Democratic establishment and an enabling media.

They ALL knew. Pelosi was briefed on his behavior in 2020 while she was Speaker. She sat on it to be used as leverage.

Yep. Media, Intelligence, DNC, top RNC. This septic tank of rotten filth needs to be flushed.

I want to know if the people who knew about his behavior but did nothing to stop him or out him should be held as accomplices in his crimes. Especially Pelosi as she was essentially his boss. From the time they knew (2020) and until the time he was outed and removed from Congress, he had people protecting him. The luxury of being a sitting congressman helped him to commit serious crimes.
If his crimes had been murder, and you or I knew it, and we protected him from prosecution, we would be headed to jail too.

The Wicked Witch of the West Nancy is still ruling the party and whacking folks with her broom at 89 fricking years old.

I always found it strange that #MeToo never took down anyone in DC, even though we know about the Congressional slush fund for payoffs.
It seems like that slush fund is a way to compromise members and blackmail them into voting however they want them to.
I'd love to see the entire Epstein files, but I would be just as interested in seeing the payouts and NDA's tied to that slush fund.

C’mon Congress, open the files and expose them all. If it saves one child or one intern…….

Need to prosecute a few journalists and editors that interfered with elections by selectively sitting on damaging stories for partisan purposes.

The DNC/MSM Political Complex is completely complicit in politician Democrat bad behavior as long as the politician in question can push forward the liberal political and economic agenda!
But get in the way and you can expect the political/professional double tap.
Swallwell was in the way for the California governor’s race.

It's all leverage. It's why they hate Trump so much. They cannot leverage him.

2020/2021 was a bad time for Pelosi then. Responsible for j6 and admitting it on camera, plus knowing of the abuse by Swallowswell! Please tell me there are more secrets to be acted on from now till midterms!!
