Eric Swalwell IS Guilty AF

Corruption of Power GriftMatrix

He admitted “mistakes in judgment.” He just thinks you shouldn’t care.

Here’s the thing about the Eric Swalwell allegations – he hasn’t denied sleeping with his staffers. He just said you’re not allowed to talk about it.

If you’re new here – let’s catch you up. A former staffer told the San Francisco Chronicle that Swalwell started pursuing her the moment she was hired at 21 to work in his district office. He sent her photos of his genitals on Snapchat. He asked her to send nudes back. He pulled out his penis while driving in a car with her and asked her to perform oral sex on him. In September 2019, she says she woke up naked in his hotel room after a night of heavy drinking with no memory of what happened, feeling the physical effects of intercourse. She was his employee. He was her boss. He was married with kids.

That was the first time.

The second time was April 2024. She no longer worked for him. They ran into each other at a charity gala in New York where Swalwell was being honored. They went for drinks. She got intoxicated. She ended up in his hotel room. “I was pushing him off of me, saying no,” she told CNN. “He didn’t stop.”

She woke up bleeding, with bruises on her ribcage, legs, and thighs where his hands had been. The next day, Swalwell messaged her on Snapchat saying the night was great, that he hoped she remembered it this time, and told her not to tell anyone.

The Chronicle didn’t just take her word for it.

They reviewed text messages she sent to a friend three days after the 2024 assault, in which she described telling Swalwell to stop. They interviewed her ex-boyfriend, who confirmed she told him about the first assault at the time it happened. They viewed medical records showing she sought pregnancy and STD tests after the incident.

CNN independently corroborated her account through interviews with friends and family members and by reviewing messages Swalwell exchanged with her. NBC, ABC, and MS NOW all independently reviewed the text messages and medical records.

And – as it turns out, she’s not the only one.

CNN reported that three additional women described sexual misconduct by Swalwell. One woman who connected with him online over her interest in Democratic politics ended up extremely drunk in his hotel room after a night out with him, with almost no memory of what happened. Earlier that evening, he kissed her and touched her leg without her consent at a bar. A family member and two friends confirmed she told them about the incident. CNN reviewed messages between her and Swalwell, including a photo he sent that matched footage of him during a CNN interview in her city that same night.

A third woman, Democratic influencer Ally Sammarco, said Swalwell sent her unsolicited photos of his penis after she reached out to him on Twitter to discuss politics. A fourth woman said he sent her unsolicited videos of his penis. NOTUS spoke to a former Capitol Hill intern who said Swalwell added her on Snapchat under the guise of career mentorship, then shifted to sexual advances and invitations to his hotel room.

All of the women described the same pattern.

Swalwell targeted young women in their twenties who were finding their footing professionally. He made them feel special and starstruck. Then the messages got sexual. Then came the drinking. Then came the hotel rooms. Then came the Snapchat messages asking them not to tell anyone. Then came the silence.

Now let’s talk about how he tried to cover it up.

On camera, at a Sacramento town hall on April 8, Swalwell told reporters: “It’s false. And also some of the allegations I’ve seen, which is that we’ve had NDAs in the office – never. There’s never been an allegation, and there’s never been a settlement.”

Two days later, Politico published a story confirming a former employee had signed a non-disparagement agreement tied to an employment discrimination claim when they left his office. He didn’t misspeak. He looked into a camera and lied to voters about a document that exists.

And on March 4, 2026 – weeks before any of this went public – Swalwell voted Nay on H.Res. 1100, a resolution directing the House Ethics Committee to preserve and publicly release records of sexual harassment and assault violations. He voted to keep those records hidden.

Between 2016 and 2023, his campaign made 44 payments totaling $305,118 to Coblentz Patch Duffy & Bass, a Bay Area law firm specializing in white-collar criminal defense and employment law. His campaign says it was for legal guidance during Trump-era “retaliatory investigations.”

But when reporters asked them to name a specific legal matter that required over $300,000, they couldn’t. Adam Schiff faced the same DOJ scrutiny during the same period and didn’t route comparable sums to criminal defense firms. He set up a transparent legal defense fund instead.

So what was Swalwell paying for at an employment law firm for seven years? Probably exactly what it looks like. Employment discrimination settlements with non-disparagement clauses. Cleaning up after a pattern of behavior that people in Democratic circles had known about for nearly a decade.

Because they did know.

On Twitter yesterday, Democratic operative Michael Trujillo shared Instagram DMs from October 31, 2020 – over five years ago – in which someone described Swalwell making “unsolicited advances, whether over the phone or in person to several interns and volunteers,” “encouraging and facilitating alcohol for underage volunteers,” and “forced resignations of women who declined his advances.”

That same person said “Anyone who does try to speak out about it gets stomped on by the political community” and that Swalwell “straight up blows up the phones of those who used to be in his circle every time he gets word that someone is asking these questions.”

Trujillo said he first heard about it from a former intern around 2017.

In March 2026, weeks before the stories broke, a progressive creator, Mrs. Frazzle, said no less than a dozen people had come to her alleging Swalwell had inappropriate relationships with young staffers going back years. When Swalwell posted her on his social media story, she received “multiple texts telling me to stay away.”

His own people knew what was coming. At least four senior campaign staffers, including his top labor liaison, quit before the Chronicle story was even published. They didn’t wait to read it.

And when the story did break, his campaign’s first move was to connect a reporter to an alibi witness – Rohit Karn Batra, a friend who was with Swalwell on the night of the 2024 gala. It backfired.

Batra confirmed they went to a bar after the event and that he left before 11:30 PM. The accuser says she met up with Swalwell at 11:30 PM. The guy they hand-picked to clear him confirmed the accuser’s timeline.

The second move was sending cease-and-desist letters to the accusers. His attorney, Elias Dabaie, confirmed the letters to NOTUS. The former staffer confirmed she received one. So did social media influencers who amplified the allegations. His defense strategy wasn’t to prove his innocence. It was to threaten anyone who talked.

Then came Swalwell’s video statement on April 11. He said the allegations are “flat false.” But then he said this: “I do not suggest to you in any way that I am perfect or that I am a saint. I have certainly made mistakes in judgment in my past. But those mistakes are between me and my wife. And to her I apologize deeply for putting her in this position.”

Read that again.

He’s not denying the relationships. He’s not denying the contact. He’s reframing sexual assault accusations as marital “mistakes in judgment” and asking you to move on.

It was not hard for every Dem political connection he has to drop him immediately.

Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, and Pete Aguilar issued a joint statement calling for a “swift investigation” and for Swalwell to “immediately end his campaign.” Nancy Pelosi told him to drop out. Adam Schiff and Ted Lieu both pulled his endorsement. Ruben Gallego – who had defended Swalwell on social media just days earlier – withdrew his support and said he “regrets having come to his defense.” The California Teachers Association rescinded their endorsement. SEIU suspended support. ActBlue shut down his fundraising and pulled all ads and TV commercials. His campaign co-chairs resigned. Every major endorsement, gone in 24 hours.

It’s almost as if no one was surprised.

Today, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office opened a criminal investigation into the sexual assault allegation from April 2024 in New York.

On top of all of this, Swalwell had a documented relationship with Christine “Fang Fang” Fang, a suspected Chinese intelligence operative who fundraised for his campaign and placed an intern in his office. Whether it was sexual, he won’t say. The House Ethics Committee investigated for two years and closed the case without findings. He’s now threatening to sue the FBI if they release the investigative files.

Because…. yeah.

If all that wasn’t enough to bury this dipshit, FEC filings show his campaign spent over $244,000 on childcare – the highest total in the entire House, more than three times the next highest member. Weekly payments to a nanny that look like regular household expenses routed through campaign funds, with Swalwell reimbursing himself from donor money on the same dates the campaign was paying the provider directly. Filings also show tens of thousands on luxury travel, including the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, private security, limousine services, and yacht charters.

All this is the behavior of a narcissist.

And even if those relationships were consensual – I think you should care. Because if a man will lie to his wife’s face – the person he made vows to, the mother of his three children – he will lie to you. If he’ll use campaign donors’ money to pay for his nanny and his Dubai hotel rooms and his employment lawyers to clean up his messes, he’ll use your tax dollars the same way. If he’ll send cease-and-desist letters to women who accuse him of assault, he’ll use the power of the governor’s office to silence anyone who threatens him.

The “mistakes are between me and my wife” defense doesn’t work when you’re asking 39 million people to trust you with their state. Character isn’t compartmentalized. A man who cheats doesn’t cheat in only one direction.

Eric Swalwell needs to resign from Congress. Not suspend his campaign. Not take a leave of absence. Resign. Because the women who came forward deserve better than a congressman who votes to hide harassment records, lies about settlements on camera, pays $305,000 to make problems disappear, and sends his lawyer after anyone brave enough to speak.

And if the Democratic Party means what it says about believing women and holding power accountable, this is the test. Not when it’s a Republican. Not when it’s convenient. Right now. With one of their own.
