'HEINOUS CRIME' — Top Democrat Caught In One Of Sleaziest Scandals Yet

Welcome back to Explain America. This is

your host, Kyle Becker. Do Democrats

respect the American people at all? It's

a burning question on the top of

people's minds, especially given all of

the fraud scandals involving top

Democrats that have come to light in

recent weeks. Now, we've talked about

Ilhan Omar and her problems with the

Somali fraud scandal. We've talked about

AOC and her campaign f finance problems.

But one of the big stories to come out

in the last few days has been involving

California Congressman Eric Swallwell.

Now Swallwell, as we know, we've been

following him uh for years now since

Axios broke the huge story that Fang

Fang and Eric Swallwell, while they had

some intimate relations and uh that may

have compromised him. though he lost his

position on the House Intelligence

Committee uh years ago and uh ever since

the Democrats have been trying to

rehabilitate his image as someone who is

essentially just misunderstood and he's

a swell guy. Well, according to social

media reports in the last few days that

have come to light, he is not a good

guy. And uh well, I'm going to leave it

to you to hunt that down on X where

there are women coming forward saying

that Eric Swallwell, well, he has some

inappropriate behavior issues. And of

course, those aren't verified. Those

need to be proven in a court of law. So,

uh we're not going to take that as an

absolute fact. But what we can say with

absolute certainty is that Eric

Swallwell on its face is guilty of

redirecting campaign funds back to him

and his family. This is an illicit fraud

scheme and we'll break it down soon. But

before we do, please like, share, and

comment at Explained America. Join us.

We appreciate your support for common

sense journalism. Now, what is it about

the modern Democratic Party that it is

very attractive indeed for grifters? It

could be that they flock together no

matter what. If any scandal hits the

headlines, they can be sure that the

lamestream media is going to run cover

for them because they aren't interested

in doing actual investigative journalism

if it involves a Democrat. Well,

unfortunately for them, there's a rise

of citizen journalism, and it's catching

on quite nicely on social media

platforms. So, there's no longer a

strangle hold on the news like it used

to be. The corporate media has its own

role in this ecosystem, but it is no

longer the only player in town. It's no

longer an echo chamber. And we can find

out a lot of interesting facts about our

politicians that the corporate media

would rather they not know about. So, we

have a report that's come to light, and

it looks fairly rock solid from my uh

estimation, and that is that Eric

Swallwell funneled $200,000 from his

campaign directly back to himself.

>> Eric Swallwell funneled $200,000 from

his campaign directly back to himself,

claiming he used the money on child

care. According to FEC filings from 2019

to 2025, this includes more than $22,000

in just the final three months of last

year. In addition, three payments

totaling over $6,000 were made out to

his wife, Brittney Swallwell, labeled as

quote unquote child care. Critics say

this is a deception as people do not

donate to campaign so the candidate can

spend that money on personal expenses,

essentially using their campaign funds

as a personal slush fund. Campaign

finance watchd dogs have slammed the

move, saying there's a privileged class

of politicians who exploit loopholes to

pay for their lifestyles with donor

cash. This isn't Swallwell's first

controversy with campaign spending. In

fact, his FEC records show that he used

campaign cash for nearly $22,000

on quote unquote event tickets to the

San Francisco 49ers in February of 2024,

labeled as fundraising. He was at the

Super Bowl where he also spent an

additional $100 in campaign cash on

stadium concessions. thousands more on

luxury items like limousine services,

high-end steakhouse dinners, and alcohol

deliveries, prompting a 2021 FEC

complaint from the American

Accountability Foundation, which accused

him of converting campaign funds into

personal use. Over $50,000 in total

event tickets to NFL games, including a

$1,560

dispersement for a 49ers Eagles matchup

in December of 2023.

Now, he claimed in part of these uh

finance funds that he was using the

money for child care. And if you go

through the FEC filings from 2019 to

2025, three of the payments total over

$6,000 and they were made out to his

wife Brittany Swallwell and they are

labeled as child care. Very interesting

indeed. And so this report comes on top

of other investigations into his alleged

corruption. And the FBI, as you might

know, has officially opened uh the

espionage case involving Swallwell.

That's the one that has to do with Fang

Fang and her alleged role in all of

this. And of course, we're waiting for

them to get to the bottom of that. And

not just that, to hold these Democrats

accountable. Eric Swellwell, of course,

he comes across as very sleazy and uh

he's certainly uh someone who pushes a

lot of lies. And the very interesting

footnote about all of this is that

Attorney General Pam Bondi, well, she's

no longer attorney general. She was

reshuffled inside the Department of

Justice to a lower position, right? And

uh she was apparently friends with

Suwell and tipped him off about this

investigation. I think that tells us

about everything we need to know about

Bam Bondi. Uh why she would be friends

with Eric Swwell or would tip him off

about an investigation is beyond me.

It's quite bewildering how these uh

uniarty creatures they uh act like it's

a giant club and their job is to fleece

us and to pull the wool over our eyes

and uh enough is enough. You know, the

foot dragging and the obstruction of

justice and uh the attempt to run out

the clock and gaslight us and all of

these other things. If someone is guilty

of breaking the law, they need to face

justice. And uh if this doesn't happen,

then we have zero confidence in our

institutions. So maybe that's the point

of it. It's hard to say at this

juncture. However, we would like to see

a few of these Democrats who are guilty

of violations that could be proven in a

court of law to actually get hammered.

Not just because they are guilty of the

law, but it will discourage others from

breaking the law and from being corrupt

actors. This is just common sense. I

mean, if you have a child and they go to

the oven and they're playing with it and

they're turning the fire on, uh, you

tell them no and, uh, you know, you tell

them no a number of times and they keep

going back and playing with fire and

eventually they're going to burn

themselves, right? So, this is common

sense and enough is enough with this.

Uh, human nature is what it is and we

have to deal with it sensibly and so

that means that lawb breakakers need to

be punished for their actions. Okay,

this is not unreasonable. This is a

standard of justice that has existed in

western civilization for centuries and

uh going away from it now over partisan

politics. Well, it's a suicide pact

because once law and order breaks down

this country, we're not going to have

anything to stabilize us and to have a

civil society. It will be an absolute

free-for-all. And I don't think any

sensible person should want that. So,

weigh in with your thoughts about this

story. We always appreciate hearing from

you at Explained America. Breaking just

a moment ago, Fox can now confirm that

California Democrat Congressman Eric

Swallwell has been criminally referred

to the Department of Justice accused of
