When even your currently employed Congressional staff says this, you know you’re on the resignation clock:
https://x.com/NikkiLaurenzo/status/204307469086926...As leaders of teams working for Eric Swalwell, we’re horrified by the recent reporting in the San Francisco Chronicle and by CNN.
"We stand with our former colleague, and the other women who have come forward. We believe you should stand with them, too.
"The behavior detailed in these reports is abhorrent, beneath the dignity of those serving in public office and betrays the trust of all Californians.
"We also understand that we lead teams who need guidance and stability now, more than ever.
"We are focused on supporting our colleagues during this challenging time.
"Any decision of staff members to remain in their roles in the interim should not be viewed as support for Eric Swalwell.
"We recognize that not everyone — in particular our junior staff — can immediately forfeit their income and benefits without significant personal risk or consequence.
"Our responsibility now is to them. We, more than he, understand that we have obligations to the people we lead and to the constituents of California’s 14th Congressional District.
"Those of us that remain on staff do so for the sole purpose of ensuring that as many of those obligations are fulfilled as possible.”Woof. The Fang Fang bang banger’s entire staff chucked him under the bus and dragged him along the freeway.

I wouldn't rely on "X" for anything accurate. It could be, but the old broken analog clocks were right twice a day, too.
That said, the DA is opening an investigation.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/11/us/politics/eri...I won't convict him since I don't know. But this allegation probably will end his gubernatorial run. Though, it didn't with the Felon's POTUS run (even when they had him on tape talking about it). But Dems are different. They'll probably expel him as they did Al Franken.
I think he's done.

From what I've read, correctly so. Too bad you asshats don't have the moral compass to do the same with child (and adult) rapist Donald Trump.

If you sided with Trump during his litany of sexual assault allegations, rape adjudication and pedophilia connections,
maybe sit this Swalwell "outrage" out, hypocrisy that thick is a choking hazard.

A purely factual note (and a reminder that Lefties suck at boring ol' facts, even one as widely known as this one): Al Franken wasn't "expelled" from the Senate. He resigned, under pressure, and he really shouldn't have. I mean I didn't like him either as a comedian or as a comedian cos playing a U.S. Senator, but caving into the wokeism by Franken was an own goal.

Too bad you're a delusional Leftie who has only an incidental relationship with those funny little things called "facts."
Trump has never been charged criminally with rape, and he has certainly never been convicted of rape.
Trump was sued by that nutbag E. Jean Caroll and was ALSO found not to have committed rape by a civil jury that was about as hostile to Trump as if they were all clones of yourself.
Now, your indulgence of your irrational hatred for all things Trump is your prerogative.
Your incessant lying to justify your irrational hatred, just makes you a lying maniac.

As a matter of fact, another little ol' inconvenient "fact" is that when Stephanoupolopalufagus accused Trump of "rape" on whatever network he is on, Trump successfully sued both Snuffleupagus and his network for defamation and got a $16 million payout.
You Lefties who post these lies here are such insipid little insignificant pipsqueaks, and compulsive liars, so no one cares what you say and no one really listens to you except your masturbation buddies in your liberal circle jerk.
This needs to be pointed out so you can metaphorically shove your defamatory lies up your butthole.
You're welcome.

This is factually true.
This is also factually true:
No, Donald Trump has not been convicted of rape in a criminal court. However, a federal civil jury found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation against writer E. Jean Carroll in 2023, and a judge later clarified that the act "meets a more common definition of rape".

That's called "dicta" and has no precedential value and in fact was the judge's personal opinion. He should be removed from the bench.
