SWALWELL CHINA SPY FILES ROILING FBI
Democrat Representative Eric Swalwell (CA-14) has some problems, namely, that his past and his poor judgment keep coming back to haunt him. Not the least of his peccadillos was his involvement with a possible Chinese agent, wherein Rep. Swalwell reportedly fell for one of the oldest tricks in the espionage book: The honey trap.
Now, the FBI, under Director Kash Patel, is gathering documents related to that ill-advised affair (hah), and Rep. Swalwell’s attorneys are reportedly preparing a strongly worded letter demanding that the FBI not release those files.
Wait, isn’t transparency supposed to be a good thing? New York Times Chief White House Correspondent Peter Baker notes that this may be used to “smear” Swalwell.
SWALWELL UNDER FIRE: FBI DIGS UP PAST TIES TO CHINESE SPY AS ATTORNEYS THREATEN LEGAL FIGHT — A decade-old FBI probe into Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell’s suspected relationship with a Chinese intelligence operative has been reignited amid Trump-era pressure to expose the scandal, sparking clashes over transparency and potential political weaponization. Swalwell’s legal team warns the FBI against releasing damning documents, framing the investigation as a baseless smear—yet critics demand accountability for national security risks. The shadow of espionage controversy looms large as partisan tensions escalate.

Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins, Mister Guitar (1924)June 20, 2026
Atkins got his first guitar by making a trade with his brother, and it was arguably the best deal he ever made.

What did "Mr. Guitar," as he came to be known, trade to get that first guitar?
