House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said he is planning on introducing a resolution to remove Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) from the House Intelligence Committee, arguing he is a national security threat due to his former ties with an alleged Chinese spy.

"Pelosi just reappointed Eric Swalwell to the Intelligence Committee. Based on the briefing she and I received together, Swalwell should not be on the panel in charge of guarding our nation's secrets. Next week, I will offer a resolution to remove him from the Intel Committee," he tweeted on Friday.

GOP lawmakers have repeatedly taken aim at Swalwell due to his previous relationship with Christine Fang, who according to a report in Axios helped fundraise for Swalwell during his 2014 reelection campaign and place an intern inside his office before leaving the country in 2015 amid a federal investigation into her actions.

Fang also allegedly targeted a number of other high-profile Democrats in California.

1. McCarthy. Such an appropriate last name for this POS.

2. He's a national security threat because

six years ago he was informed that there was a suspected spy in his campaign operation and he immediately cut off all contact with them?

Amid a widening counterintelligence probe, federal investigators became so alarmed by Fang's behavior and activities that around 2015 they alerted Swalwell to their concerns — giving him what is known as a defensive briefing.

Swalwell immediately cut off all ties to Fang, according to a current U.S. intelligence official, and he has not been accused of any wrongdoing.

3. I'm more worried about Republicans being a national security threat.

Letting Trump off the hook twice, visiting Russia on 7/4, and taking Russian money through the NRA.

4. Popular Dems being attacked all over the place.

Don’t fall for any of it until there is an investigation.

5. McCarthy is a man of mediocre intellect, and

that is being charitable.

Swalwell is a man who is not only brilliant, he has great integrity. It must piss him off that a dimwit like McCarthy is trying to undermine him.

6. Kevin being a Karen.....

Such a slimy mass of disorganized protoplasm, masquerading as a congressthingy.

[demtenjeep]

7. he is threatened by a good guy

loyal to Pelosi and the Democratic party

8. What a miserable POS!

God, I really hate that contemptible shitweasel.

9. GFY McQuarthy!

10. But the Trumpster wasn't

a National Security Threat....

[EndlessWire]

11. And none of them said anything

when Trump appointed Steve Bannon of Breitbart News to the NSC:

"The NSC is the main group advising the president on national security and foreign affairs." -- BBC

I just think they are all hypocrites. I think they are ALL security risks--little thing about a coup attempt, and two unsupported impeachments. They can all GTH.

14. they don't do any actual work....

this is what they do.... just look for ways to oust democrats .

I'm still waiting for Cruz to resign after his trip to Cancun while his constituents were freezing and without power.

now I'll wait, too, after Ron Johnson's clearly racist remarks yesterday about BLM. are there calls for him to resign? or even apologize?

then there was the picture of rudy guiliani with his hands literally down his pants in a hotel room (yes, I realize he holds no political office).

how do they all survive these fuckups?

15. Good luck with that, assshole.

While you are at it, you should submit another resolution to remove Kay Grainger from her committees over her ties to Putin. Go fuck yourself, Kevin.

[winstars]

16. 2015. FUCK YOU KEVIN (KAREN?)

[Mc Mike]

17. 'There's two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and tRump.'

Right, Kevin?

You can't stop kissing the ass of the guy that kisses putin's ass, though.

Now tell us all about your 'national security concerns'.

[ananda]

18. I know of 146 Reep congresspersons who pose a national security threat.

Hmmm....
