The House Ethics Committee ended its two-year investigation into Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., over allegations that he had ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative.

In a letter to Swalwell dated Monday, the committee said it will take no further action in the probe that began in April 2021 into “allegations raised in the complaint that you may have violated House Rules, laws, or other standards of conduct in connection with your interactions with Ms. Christine Fang,” the suspected Chinese spy.

“The Committee has previously reviewed allegations of improper influence by foreign agents and in doing so, cautioned that Members should be conscious of the possibility that foreign governments may attempt to secure improper influence through gifts and other interactions,” the letter said. “We encourage you to contact the Office of House Security for any guidance on steps you can take to prevent or address such attempts.”

9. (D)'s had control of the House when the investigation started in 4/21 ...

Do you mean the House in general loves to spend America's money?
Or that (D)'s loves to spend America's money?
Or that you thought the (R)'s started the investigation & that they love to spend America's money?

Just trying to understand your statement.

14. I hope this answers your original questions

Swalwell said that despite his cooperation with the FBI, which never accused him of wrongdoing, a complaint was filed against him by an unnamed House Republican.

Any more questions?

15. Got it, thanks ...

18. It's the damn GOP bloodsuckers spending taxpayer $ frivolously

& thereby weaponizing their positions to cast guilt on Dems. Rep Swalwell is an amazing, upright lawmaker & family man. This was in deed a smear by the left.

4. Vindication

Swallwell should request a special session to have her apologize in front of the session and have her disgusting remarks removed from the congressional records.

8. MTG?

I seem to remember MTG blathering about Swalwell in this regard.

[Brother Buzz]

10. She, indeed, jumped on the bandwagon recently, but....

I don't believe she had the wherewithal to call for the investigation

I like your username. Welcome to DU

11. Blathering is the perfect description. Welcome to DU. Great screen name, by the way.

26. Coffee before pants!

I love it. I have my first cup or two on the patio weather permitting. Wife says I gotta wear pants.

If mtg is breathing she’s blathering.

Welcome to DU. I Drink community coffee Evangeline Blend.

29. Guess I need more coffee.

I read the name as "Coffee be for epants", and wondered what the e-pants app was.

7. Bet the usual suspects will continue to lodge those accusations

On FOX and in the halls of Congress.

Their audiences will not ever hear of this decision.

12. Another trumped up nothing burger from the Rs.

This won’t stop Rs from continuing to defame Swalwell - they know that 95% of Rs won’t know the “investigation” came up empty.

To do what? Point out Republicans in Congress lie and slander the members when they think they can score political points?
