While I'm in no way defending Swalwell, I really hate that we've given the Feds the power to seize your cellphone at an airport and effectively leave you stranded somewhere.


Peter Navarro was handcuffed and dragged off and he did NOTHING wrong.

If you are so soft you cant find your way home without your cell, you really should tell mommy not to let you leave home.

Surely this isn't about the Chinese spy he banged. Doubtful he'd have anything on his phone after so long and all the attention...

Hunter Biden would like you to recall that iCloud is a motherfricker.

The FBI reportedly raided former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D-Calif.) home on Sunday, a day after confiscating his electronic devices as part of an investigation regarding his ties to a potential Chinese spy.


quote:

Federal investigators determined she ran a political intelligence gathering operation directed by China’s primary civilian spy agency between 2011 and 2015.

An independent journalistic probe revealed that her objective was to infiltrate U.S. political circles to gather unclassified but sensitive political intelligence, manipulate campaign financing, and cultivate relationships with up-and-coming politicians who had national potential, as reported by Axios.


quote:

In at least two cases, she used American conduits to obscure the fact that the political contributions were secretly being funded by the Chinese government.

Federal investigators also uncovered evidence that Fang placed Chinese nationals and foreign interns inside Swalwell’s congressional office in exchange for campaign fundraising support.

Well you can then count on the good will of your fellow man to get you out of a fix. It will be a little humbling.

Are you saying you wouldn’t be able to get home from your local airport without a phone?

He wasn't just a sitting congressman he was on the HPSCI (House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence). The FBI knew about the whole Chinese spy ring for a long time. Including Dianne Feinstein's Chinese driver of 30 years... It's not a coincidence all this happened after his term limit to sit on HPSCI was up.

They weren't seizing his phones to investigate them. They were seizing his phones so they could control the data. This is more along the lines of Anthony Weiner and Hunter Biden laptop damage control.

do they have a term limit? nancy pelosi knew about his relationship with fang fang and refused to take him off that committee. it wasn't until the republicans took over and they removed him.

Under House rules, members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) are generally limited to a tenure of four terms (or eight years) within any period of six successive Congresses


Eric Swalwell started his tenure on the HPSCI in January 2015 and officially ended his service on the committee in January 2023.

But they can grant waivers to extend their tenure and they were in the process of doing that for Swalwell, but McCarthy blocked it.

But do they sell burners at airports? I've never been in the market for a phone on the go, so I have no idea.


Only issue would be if he had an Apple product. The cheapest iPhone is like 200-500 dollars depending on carrier and if it is from a prepaid carrier. Then you have to remember your passwords and go through the hoops of recovering your account without your previous device to get all your contacts and mail settings. Then you have to remember all those phone numbers. It is not like people still use a rolodex.



Android would be dirt cheap, and I don't know if if Google has gotten as security heavy as Apple when it comes to recovering your account.

2FA can be a real bitch if you don't have the right devices nearby.

But if he kept his chopstick out of Bang Bang and anything with a vag, he wouldn't be in this trouble.
