Eric Swalwell, the Fall of a Made Man

Jonathan Turley.

The resignation of Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Cal.) came with one of the most spectacular falls in political history. Just days ago, Swalwell was the leading Democratic candidate for governor of California and positioned to be one of two final candidates (the other a Republican). He expected that, regardless of his unpopularity, California Democrats would never vote for a Republican.

Now Swalwell has pulled out of the race, pulled out of Congress, and was even tossed out of the home of a billionaire who had been letting him crash there during the scandal.

Swalwell continues to deny the allegations and pledges to fight them.

For the record, I have been one of Swalwell’s most vocal critics for the last ten years. Yet, while I am not surprised by the allegations, I am surprised by how quickly Swalwell was abandoned by his political patrons in Congress and the unions.

In Washington, Harry Truman advised politicians that if you want a friend in this city, get a dog. However, even Swalwell’s dog Penny has yet to appear in public with him. Presumably, she is consulting with her own canine crisis team.

Swalwell has spent his entire career protected by an enabling establishment and media. He was a made man in Washington, and those who made him protected him despite years of rumors and allegations of misconduct.

John Solomon, the Complete Interview, Inside the Intel Operations That Targeted Trump, 19 August 2026



Jan Jekielek sat down with John Solomon to discuss President Trump’s recent revelations on 2020 election interference, the politicization of intelligence agencies, and more.

The recent Trump administration report on election interference goes far beyond the 2020 election.

John Solomon says intelligence officials were caught openly keeping critical election security information from the President, Congress, and the American public.

“What we did is look at a 20-year window of intelligence about the security of our elections.”

“Were foreigners interfering? Were domestic players interfering? Were there vulnerabilities that we know about that we had not fixed?”

“Career people in the intelligence community made conscious decisions to keep that information from the President, Congress, and the American public.”

“There were intelligence officers bragging that they were withholding information from the President and from Congress.”

“One of them boasted that they were running a shadow government.”

“We were being told we were in the most secure election environment in history, and the intelligence showed just the opposite.”
