As Twitchy readers know, Eric Swalwell does NOT want old files from the decade-old investigation into him and his Communist Chinese spy girlfriend to be released. In fact, he's gotten himself a few attorneys to try to prevent the inevitable.
Breaking news: Attorneys for Rep. Eric Swalwell demanded in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that the bureau refrain from releasing decade-old investigative files involving the congressman’s purported ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative. https://t.co/AfBzYylPJn

Ironic, ain't it?
Scott Jennings took to X Tuesday to skewer the breathtaking hypocrisy on display by Swalwell and his attorneys.
While Swalwell has spent years beating the drum for transparency when it suits his side, the sudden urge for secrecy over files that have been gathering dust at the DOJ has even the most casual observer raising an eyebrow.
Decades old files being held at DOJ, you say? Huh. Something about this seems very familiar. https://t.co/URfJhqTEwi

It certainly does sound familiar.
Hrm. Where have we heard this before?
Kash should send them to Schiff's office. The press will have it in the AM papers.

Fair point. The only representative more prolific at leaking info is, allegedly, Swalwell himself, anyway.
Oops, we weren't supposed to say that out loud. Our bad.
Why is he panicking??? What’s in those files 🧐 pic.twitter.com/3v5vZxOWZw
