Speaker 1: Fang Fang update to get you up to speed, because if you have only been watching legacy corporate run cable news and other professional journalism degree journalists for the last oh, I don't know, six seven years, you might not know this story. But Eric Swalwell, a member of Congress, a person who went on the media for years and lied about Russian collusion and claimed that he saw a secret in private intel because he was on the Intelligence Committee about Donald Trump and the Russians and was never pressed on it, never delivered, and was still a member and good standing of the Democrat Party right up until the moment it looked like he was going to win the governorship in California, at least the Democrat primary, and then they threw him under the bus by revealing all of the sexual affairs he had on Capitol Hill, Allegedly that Eric Swalwell was engaged in an extra marital affair with a woman named Fang Fang, who, just as there became revelations about this affair, left the country and went back to her country of China, Beijing, China, because she's connected with the Chinese government. He's denied it, he's refused to talk about it. He claimed that he cooperated with the FBI, which is kind of true. But now we've got more information because John Solomon over at Just the News, who's also working with the White House to get through a lot of these documents that have been classified for no reason, has the story.
00:01:22
Speaker 2: Here's the headline.
00:01:24
Speaker 1: FBI had evidence swawaal got illegal donations from suspected Chinese by bombshell memos show newly classified declassified investigation files. Also of the FBI had initially tried to recruit the infamous Fang Fang as a source they could share information on Chinese influence operations targeting public officials in the United States, but instead she fled the country and went back to her handlers, as it were, although I guess in this case, Eric Swalwell was also a handler, but a very different kind. FBI developed evidence than the Chinese woman with direct ties to the country's intelligence service had potentially compromised Democratic congressman for California with sex, foreign interns and illicit donations while she was being recruited to Oh come on, dude, what's the deal with Just the News and the ads? I mean, I'm all for making money on your website. Trust me. We're trying to We're capitalists. We love advertising, but don't overshadow the content of the page. Well recruited to become a bureau informative decade ago. According to Bombshell membos that exposed another threat to America's political system from Beijing. The files chronicling the relationship between Representative Eric Swawah and the Chinese national Fang Fang, also known by her English name Christine Fang. Christine Huh, that's funny. Let's stick with Fang Fang. I like Fang Thang. We're declassified by President Donald J. Trump and released Monday by the White House Government Transparent Task Force, part of a broader effort to unmass foreign threat to the US political and election systems. They show the FBI opened a predicated investigation, which is a formal law enforcement inquiry backed by the factual basis or allegation that indicates a crime or national security threat allready exists. Did you miss my setup of this story where I told you that Eric Swallwell, the guy that the FBI knew, was compromised by the Chinese spy from Beijing and had sex with her and maybe even more interns et cetera, et cetera, was on the Intelligence Committee. He was on the House Select Committee for Intelligence right up until the moment Kevin McCarthy became Speaker of the House in twenty twenty two, and then he removed him from that body. Real quick, this matters now. If you're on Medicare, think about how you ended up on your plan. Did someone sit down, look at every option available to you, walk you through what exact actually fits your life? Or or did someone hand you a few choices and say pick one, because for most people it's the second one that's not help. I wanted better than that for my audience and for my own family, so I found Chapter. I now recommend them to everyone I know, including my own mother. Chapter is independent. They're the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide. They look at your doctors, your prescriptions, your priority priorities, and they match you to the plan that actually fits for you. Their advisors are honest, novel concept right, and if you're already on the right plan, they'll tell you. If you're not, they'll help you switch. Last year, seniors who found new plans with Chapter saved an average of eleven hundred dollars. That ain't nothing. You got eleven hundred hours to burn.
00:04:34
Speaker 2: I didn't think.
00:04:34
Speaker 1: So the call is free, takes under twenty minutes. Call him now five ato three eight zero nine seven to five five ato three o eight zero nine seven five. This is well worth your time, all right. Now back to the video. He was a Democrat representative on the Intel Committee.
00:04:52
Speaker 2: Eric Swolwell.
00:04:54
Speaker 1: Uh, here's a little bit of how the mainstream corporate legacy media the only real journalists left, like Jake Tapper, the last true journalist in this town. Here's how he grilled Eric Swalwell at the time he's wearing a mask.
00:05:09
Speaker 2: Oh, they're just the best.
00:05:11
Speaker 1: This is when the news broke about Fang Fang, so of course Jake got the hit. It's amazing how Jake is always the one who gets these Democrats who were in big, big heat, big trouble. He always lands them as the guest. Why do you think these Democrats are so eager to go on Jake Tapper's show when they're in trouble and they need to bs their way out of It makes you wonder, doesn't it.
00:05:34
Speaker 3: And can you clarify how much contact you had with this Chinese national who goes by Fang Fang or Christine Fang.
00:05:41
Speaker 4: Jake cas and this is a

twenty fifteen meeting about a person that I had as a volunteer back in twelve on the campaign. The FBI has said that I did nothing wrong. Don't take it from me. There was no wrongdoing. I've learned nothing new, and Speaker Pelosi has said that she's keeping me on the committee. And by the way, Jake, Republicans were briefed on this conduct that this individual was trying to do with me and many other members of Congress back in twenty fifteen.
00:06:08
Speaker 2: I think this is retaliation more than anything else.
00:06:11
Speaker 1: Okay, so real fast. So that's the moment when Jake Tapper should lean forward and say, okay, but the question is did just stupa? Did just stupa? But he didn't ask that, not even with the Jackie Mason Yiddish accent. But can we break down what the question was and then what the answer was, because you know, usually if you're a journalist and you ask a very specific question and the person does not answer the question that you've asked, you should probably follow up and say yay, okay, fine, But the question is fill in the blank. How much will medicare for all costs? That's what we're trying to find out, that sort of thing.
00:06:41
Speaker 3: And the question was, by how much contact you had with this Chinese national who goes by the Fang Fang or Christine Vang.
00:06:48
Speaker 1: Clarify by the way, I do like that. Clarify In other words, I'm just going to leave it open and I'm going to let you come up and do your spin zone here clarify how much context? So the question here is how much contact did you have? Now we know now twenty twenty six circa, thanks to the release of these documents, that he had a lot of contact. He had sex with her, He had sex with her, and it appears the FBI thought he was compromised because of her. So that's a whole lot of contact. What's the answer, Jakes?
00:07:18
Speaker 4: And this is a twenty fifteen meeting about a person that I had as a volunteer back in twy twelve on the campaign. The FBI has said that I did nothing wrong.
00:07:29
Speaker 2: There you go.
00:07:30
Speaker 1: She was a volunteer of my campaign back in twenty twelve, and the FBI said I did nothing wrong.
00:07:35
Speaker 2: Well, that's great.
00:07:36
Speaker 1: I didn't ask you if the FBI said you did anything wrong, The question was how much contact did you have, what was the extent of it? Why don't you clarify for us? And somehow he just got off the hook. That's all right, Jake. We don't expect much from you. After all, you're a former spokesperson for Hooters. That's the Eric Swallwell connection makes sense. Now about how about this guy, this guy over there on CNN. What's his name again?
00:07:58
Speaker 2: I don't know who?
00:08:00
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jim Shudoh, Kevin to the rescue, Jim Shudoh. You know where he used to work before he got a plumb teleprompter reading job at CNN. Yeah, he got his job right at the end of the Obama administration in preparation for the Trump presidency back in twenty sixteen. Where did he work right before that? He worked for the Obama administration. Yes, that's right. It's amazing how you just transitioned perfectly from working for Barack Obama and a Democrat presidency to working as an unbiased, completely impartial journalist for CNN.
00:08:36
Speaker 2: You hav any concerns about this person before?
00:08:39
Speaker 4: You had what's known as a defensive briefing from the FBI to make you aware of this threat.
00:08:45
Speaker 5: No, Jim, I was shocked. You know, just over six years ago I was told about this individual and then I offered to help, and I did help. I was thanked by the FBI for my help, and that person is no longer in the country. And I was a little surprised to read about my cooperation in that story because the story says that there there's never a suspicion of wrongdoing on my part, and all I did was cooperate, and.
00:09:12
Speaker 2: The FBI said that yesterday.
00:09:14
Speaker 5: But the wrongdoing here, Jim, is that at the same time this story was being leaked out is the time that I was working on impeachment on the House, Intelligence and Judiciary communities.
00:09:24
Speaker 2: And if this is a.
00:09:25
Speaker 5: Country where people who criticize the president are going to have law enforcement information weaponized against them, that's not a country that any of us want to live in. And I hope it is investigated as to who leaked this information.
00:09:38
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you see.
00:09:39
Speaker 1: The real problem here is that this is retaliation against me because I am working on the impeachment of Donald Trump and they're leaking it to make me look bad. But the FBI told me I never did anything wrong. Okay, nothing wrong was done here, and I was shocked more than anyone to find out this individual was connected to the Chinese government. Absolutely. She never brought it up when we were laying there sharing a cigarette after Yeah, never came up. Apparently that's one thing that didn't come up.
00:10:08
Speaker 2: Eric.
00:10:08
Speaker 1: It's interesting when he says that I never did anything wrong and the FBI never suspected me of a crime. Are those of the words.
00:10:15
Speaker 5: He is no longer in the country. And I was a little surprised to read about my cooperation in that story because the story says that there was no there was never a suspicion of wrongdoing on my part, and all I did was cooperate me.
00:10:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was never suspicion of wrongdoing on my part. He's making it sound like the whole story is I hate Hey everyone, we've got a breaking news story. This is huge headlines across the New York Times front page. Eric Swalwell cooperated with the FBI. That's not what the story was. The story was that he had this woman in his inner circle, and it turns out she's a Chinese spy. The story is not Eric Swalwell cooperated. He made it sound like that's what the story was, but he just said that the FBI never suspected him of any wrongdoing. Well,
let's go to the FBI document, shall we. As reported by Just the News, the FBI initially wanted to investigate the congressman for a bribery scheme in which he exchanged donations from Fang for her planting interns in his office, but eventually decided to narrow the case to see criminal charges only against Fang for making illegal donations to the California Democrat High conduis. Now, that's because they were trying to recruit Feng Fang okay, and that's why they ended up dropping the investigation into swalal. They probably also dropped the investigation into Swalwell because they knew they had a congressman in their back pocket on the Intelligence Committee now so that they could use him as a puppet, because it sure looks like they used him for a puppet. This would be James Comey's FBI, This would be Andrew McCabe's FBI, This would be Peter Struck's FBI that made that decision. But the initial investigation was into Eric Swaller. They didn't drop it because he didn't do anything wrong here. Look, Swalwell admitted to having sex with Fang, his staff placed Fang's interns in Congress, and not having a strong enough campaign finance system to detect the straw donations she allegedly passed through US citizen conduits. US departman declined to prosecute Fang despite strong evidence of the de listed donations after she fled the US, as the FBI began interviewing her associates and raided her home. Early steps in investigation were overseen in part by Jack Smith, the same guy that they moved in to prosecute Donald Trump. Boy, that's shocking, isn't it. So the same guy that they named is the special prosecutor to go after Trump in Merrick Garland's Justice Department is the same guy who investigated Feng Fang and Eric Swallen said, I don't see anything here, no crime here. Everybody, Now, send me to the HAG and then when it's time to go after Trump, put me in coach. It's amazing how all this works, isn't it. The FBI was recruiting Fang to be a confidential informant, though an undercover agent assigned her the code name Rusty Thumbs. Oh, come on, they're killing me with this. Fang Fang's code name was so so after learning the details of the Chinese spy Fang Fang's elicit, torrid sexual affair with Congressman Eric Swolwell, they decided that her code name should be Rusty thumbs.
00:13:11
Speaker 2: I mean.
00:13:13
Speaker 1: The images this conjures. It makes me want to take a shower, like like that scene in Silkwood when Meryl Streep thinks she got exposed to the radiation and she takes a brillopad to her skin. That's the kind of shower I want to take right now. The FBI knew early on during the recruitment that Fang was tied to China's Ministry of State Security, Beijing's notorious Intelligence Service. To bureaus identified her parents as MSS. Agents knew she was raising money for California Democrats and was willing to use sex as a means of getting ahead in the world of politics. Well, that doesn't make her any different than Chelsea Handler. However, it is fascinating that she was only targeting Democrats in California with her wily honeypot ways.
00:14:00
Speaker 2: So, Eric Swalwell says that.
00:14:01
Speaker 1: No one ever said he did anything wrong and the FBI never suspected him of any crimes, even though according to the documents, the FBI absolutely not just suspected him, but knew he was guilty of crimes. For one reason or another, they decided not to pursue them. Meanwhile, he's raising the question that this is just lawfair. This is the Trump Justice Department using the law as a weapon against purely innocent Eric Swalwell. He's so innocent that even his own Democrats roam under the bus this last election cycle, and now he's personna on grata over on that side of the team as well. But it does raise the question about lawfair. It raises the question about using the Justice Department as a political weapon. And it just so happens that came up this Sunday with Christian Welker, I meet the press with your brand new Attorney General, DoD Blanche.
00:14:47
Speaker 6: Of course, used to be President Trump's former personal defense attorney. Can you pledge that the Justice Department will always act independently of the White House.
00:14:57
Speaker 7: Well, there's a big difference between saying we will always do our job and investigate any case and act independently of the White House. No, I'm not going to pledge that, and no Attorney general should ever pledge that the President. I mean, if I were to pledge, I will be independent of the White House. What that means is that if President Trump says I want the Department of Justice to go after every violent criminal in this country, which is what he has said, what you're saying to me is I just said, no, sir, I'm not going to do it. So I will act with integrity. Our prosecutors will act with integrity. We will prosecute without fear or any sort of favor. And that's exactly what we've been doing. And that's what every Department of Justice should do. Well.
00:15:38
Speaker 6: I guess the big picture of the president asks you to do something that you feel cross as an ethical or legal line, would you do it?
00:15:45
Speaker 7: The President will never ask me to do something unethical or legal or illegal. He never has, he never will. And I swore to the Constitution of the United States, like every Cabinet secretary has done, and like every Attorney general before me has done. And so this narrative that's mostly pushed by the left and pushed by the media that the President's going to pull me aside and ask me to do something illegal is completely a false narrative, not true, will not happen, and hasn't happened, And.
00:16:13
Speaker 1: By the way, it's kind of insulting, especially when people like Christian Welker have never asked that question to Oh, I don't know, Merrick Garland and Joe Biden in the last administration, or Barack Obama and his wingman Eric Holder. By the way, we know for a fact that Barack Obama had a little posse
meeting right before the inauguration of Donald Trump with the Deputy Attorney General in the room, where he specifically asked all of them, from the FBI Director James Comy, to John Brennan to James Clapper. Vice President Biden was in the room, Susan Rice, that they should surreptitiously pursue an investigation into Donald Trump and his campaign in Russian collusion that was completely outside the bounds of the typical Justice Department ethics. And Christian Welker has never challenged Barack Obama or anybody from that administration about that. In fact, I think they host to John Brennan on a regular basis on her show because he's a employee in good standing with NBC News. Oh boy, howdy, isn't that nice. Maybe he didn't make the cut when they split out ms NOW. Maybe he's not with NBC News anymore, he's with ms NOW. But potato, potato, you know what we're saying. So there you go, Todd Blanche. No, of course I won't be independent from the White House, because that's not how our constitution works. Where is this myth that the Justice Department is supposed to act independently from the president. The president appoints the Attorney General. The Attorney General serves at the pleasure of the President of the United States. The president is elected to direct the Justice Department, and oftentimes presidents win their presidency because he promises to put in place a focus at the FBI and the Justice.
00:17:44
Speaker 2: Department to do certain things.
00:17:45
Speaker 1: I think many US would say that that's one of the reasons why we voted for President Trump this last time around, so that we could rebalance the scales of justice because it was completely out of whack, and it's still completely out of whack. In fact, that we're learning out of whack it is and was, but it's just ignorant of history. I mean, Eric Holder literally called himself Barack Obama's wingman when he was Attorney general. Perhaps Kristin Welker should look into Robert F.
00:18:12
Speaker 2: Kennedy.
00:18:13
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, not the guy with the funny voice over at Healthy Human Services. His dad, Kristin, you know, his dad was an attorney general and he was nominated by the President of the United States, John Kennedy. And normally I would jump in and say no relation, but actually quite a bit of a relation. It was his brother. President John F. Kennedy nominated his brother to be the attorney general. And here's Kristin Welker saying, well, are you going to operate independently? Yeah, I'm going to operate really independently. But boy, what an uncomfortable Thanksgiving that would be. They're just ignorant. They're ignorant of the Constitution, They're ignorant about our history, they're ignorant about our heart country works. More from Todd Blanche though.
00:18:53
Speaker 6: Would you take his opinions into consideration when he says, I think this case should be revived. When you take that into consideration.
00:19:00
Speaker 7: So hold on, Will I take the President of the United States' view on something into consideration. Yes, of course, And I hope every attorney general in history would not answer that question differently. Just let's play that out. The president of the United States, the elected president of the United States, says something to me, and I'm supposed to say to you, I would say, nope. I mean, that's not the way it works.
00:19:26
Speaker 2: Now.
00:19:26
Speaker 7: The president is extraordinarily every day he wakes up with one mission, which is making this country better and, as it relates to me, making this country safer. So if he has a view on that, he talks about it on social media, he talks about it when he speaks to the American people. That's certainly something that I listened.
00:19:45
Speaker 1: To get the restraint that Todd Blade just showed by saying.
00:19:50
Speaker 2: What are you a moron? What are you a completed total idiot?
00:19:55
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm going to take the president's view on things into consideration.
00:19:58
Speaker 2: He's the president.
00:19:59
Speaker 1: I wasn't selected by the American people.
00:20:02
Speaker 2: He was Who are what are these?
00:20:05
Speaker 1: They are so ingrained into this deep state thought that people working in the government are supposed to be there to protect the government from the president. At least when the president is Donald Trump, and she's you know, the tone in her voice. I honestly it took every amount of discipline for Todd Blanche called her out for appearing as stupid as she is. But just you know, it's not just Kristen Welker. I mean Chelsea Handler, as I mentioned earlier, who did effect achieve quite a bit in her career in the same way Fengfang did. It appears look it up. I ain't telling stories out of school. Joan Rivers had plenty to say about it.
00:20:52
Speaker 2: Years ago.
00:20:53
Speaker 1: Chelsea Handler appeared is she put on her smart girl glasses. Everybody she put on her smart girl glasses. She appeared on a podcast and she tried to raise a very serious warning about Todd Blanche.
00:21:04
Speaker 2: We're going to get Todd Blanche.
00:21:06
Speaker 6: He's going to be confirmed, and he's going to overturn roe v Wade.
00:21:10
Speaker 2: We're all sitting around.
00:21:11
Speaker 6: All these men who have these powerful platforms are sitting around.
00:21:16
Speaker 2: Okay, so real fast.
00:21:17
Speaker 1: First of all, this ran after Todd Blanche had been confirmed, so way to be Johnny on the spot with the news. But secondly, Todd Blanche is going to overturn Roevy Wade. My god, you guys, for like fifty plus years, we kept electing presidents, Republican pro life presidents who promised us they were going to do away with Roe v.
00:21:34
Speaker 2: Wade.
00:21:35
Speaker 1: And all this time we thought it required a Supreme Court justice or two to give us a decision, and we could have just gotten the right attorney general in place to overturn Roe v. Wade, because that's what
attorney generals do, they overturned Supreme Court decisions. I don't know what's stupid or from Chelsea Handler there the fact that she thinks the attorney general can do that, or the fact that she doesn't realize that Roe v. Wade was overturned four years ago by the Supreme Court. Either way, a whull lot of stupid going on there. Not quite as stupid as Chelsea Handler when she was on with Jimmy Fallon admitting that she was forty years old when she realized that the moon and the sun were two different heavenly bodies. I am not kidding. That video exists too, Go look it up. Jimmy Fallon the Tonight Show. Chelsea Handler admitting out loud that it took her to actually see the sun in the moon in the sky at the same time for her to suddenly realize that they weren't the same thing. That's Chelsea Handler, don't ever allow yourselves to be lectured by these people. Don't ever try to take a back seat. It's because they put on their black room glasses and they make millions of dollars for doing nothing but sitting on their butt or in her case, lying on her back with the executive in charge of the entertainment channel. That's how she got her job in the first place. Don't ever take a back seat to these people thinking that in some way they are more enlightened, or more red in, or more on top of the news, or more intelligent than you are. She didn't know the sun of the moon or two different heavenly bodies. And she thinks that the Attorney General can overturn Roe v. Wade four years after the Supreme Court already overturned Roe v.
00:23:01
Speaker 2: Wade. That's how stupid she is.
00:23:06
Speaker 1: But but hold on before I trash Chelsea Handler anymore, because I think I've done enough.
00:23:14
Speaker 2: It could be worse.
00:23:15
Speaker 1: You see Chelsea Handler as a stand up comedian who does TikTok and Instagram videos about how happy she is.
00:23:20
Speaker 2: She never had a baby.
00:23:21
Speaker 1: And by the way, Chelsea, we're pretty happy you never had a baby too. And she hosted a show on the Entertainment Channel like twenty years ago after sleeping with the executive in charge of the Entertainment channel, and later she got a show. It's amazing how that worked. I've beaten that drum enough. That's who she is. But it could be worse. She could be the former moderator and television host of Meet the Press, Ladies and gentlemen. If you thought Kristin Welker was stupid. Here's Chuck Todd, Chuck Todd commenting on that very same video that we just showed you with Todd blanche saying, yeah, of course the president is the president. I'm the Attorney General. I'm supposed to constitutionally, you know, follow his lead. Chuck Todd says, pretty amazing confession here by the attorney general. Still can't believe he was confirmed. But I guess he gets points for being honest because Chuck Todd thinks that the Justice Department is some independent agency from the White House and not part of the executive branch of government. Because Chuck Todd believes that the Attorney General once confirmed, is supposed to work completely independently and not work in tandem with or in coordination with the president who was elected by the people of this country. Because Chuck Todd, there's no other way to say. It is the Chelsea handler of DC plots.
