Good for Swalwell. Fang fang got it goin' on. I'd do her.

Is it even misconduct? Banging isn't misconduct if you didn't know they were a spy and didnt turn anything over.

I thought exactly the same thing until I found out Swalwell is married.



The FBI suggests not doing it because a lot of things intelligence agencies pick up on aren't based solely on explicit messaging.

I tend to agree with you though.

True, if you didnt turn anything over, it's fine, although that's still playing with fire.

Whether you knew they were a spy or not is irrelevant though.

Whether you know it's a spy or not is totally relevant.

If he knew it was a spy and continued the relationship, that's bad whether or not he turned anything over. "Playing with fire" indeed.

If he turned things over it's bad under all circumstances. In that case he's leaky if he didn't know she's a spy, and traitorous if he did.

If he just banged somebody and didn't have a reason to be suspicious and didn't turn anything over, and then cooperated when the FBI revealed she was a spy, then the relationship is a non-story and the cooperation is somebody obeying their ethical duty, which is commendable.

If you are a high-ranking elected official, running for president and sitting on one of the most powerful committees which is crucial for national security, then you always have reason to be suspicious when a young hot woman with an ethnic background from the country's main geopolitical foe hooks up with you.

During the Cold War, when an American politician hooked up with a hot Russian woman, would we really let "had no reason to be suspicious" count as a valid excuse? No, of course not, everyone would be telling him what an absolute fool he was.

It's commendable to cooperate with intelligence to save your political career after you committed adultery with a Chinese spy?

I love how copperating with an investigation is only for political points now. Trump has turned you into a clown.

You are suggesting he deserves praise for doing the only thing that is remotely in his political interest. The alterative to cooperating with the investigation is the end of his political career.

You said something that was pretty dumb. It's not the end of the world, you just need to acknowledge it.

Somebody cooperating with an investigation is expected and the ethical thing to do. Theres nothing dumb about what I said, you're just desparate.
