(14,832 posts)Eric Swalwell lawyer was on CNN. Rumors have it that Trump paid the GOP candidate Steve Hilton 320,000 to fund 3 victims to come forward and accept the money. These 3 victims cannot name the address of where Swalwell lives in D.C. and Swalwell has never met them. The one victim is dicey at best because the bar they went to, she got drunk, I mean really drunk and he offered to put her in an Uber. She wanted to.go.home with him. I mean kinda person gets drunk with a man and then goes back to his apartment? Then she comes back 4 years later to get drunk with him again? Something ain't right here.
Michael Cohen said, Trump knows he is outnumbered in California and hates Newsom. He said Trump felt threatened because he knows he may lose. California so he created a scandal. That is the only way he can win. This is also about revenge since Swalwell was on the jan 6, committed that convicted trump of the insurrection. Swalwell poll numbers are still high. All the other candidates are still polling low.
Here's the issue, Americans elected a convicted felon, insurrectionist, convicted rapist and sex trafficker with epstein, and the Gop and senate refuse to impeach him and they set the bar for low moral values. Anything Swalwell did does not come near what trump has done. There is corruption involved and trump's money is all over this.

(1,905 posts)If you're referring to the claim that Roger Stone said something, that's because this was brewing on social media for weeks in liberal circles.

It also ignores the contemporaneous corroboration and the texts and one victim getting STI and pregnancy tests after the attack.

(198 posts)I think he probably did something bad at this point but there is a due process in Congress and it should play out. He should definitely drop out of the Governor's race, if he doesn't, that lets me know that his ego and levels of stupidity are both very high.

(302 posts)He should NOT drop out of the CA Governor race NOR the House.
This is nuts. He stands ACCUSED not CONVICTED. Don't his constituents deserve to have these accusations investigated?
Why is any dem for Al Frankening our best candidates?
This is idiocy. Let's investigate the accusations like the adults we are.

(302 posts)That Trump directed Kash Patel to go after Swalwell and find something on him? Are you also forgetting Roger Stone and what he has done numerous times?
This is a circular firing squad
