Hacked Email, Political Probe: Kash Patel’s Data Exposed Amid Allegations of Weaponizing Investigations Against Eric Swalwell

#KashPatel’s push against Democratic lawmaker raises concerns within #FBI 
The FBI director seeks to post documents on Rep #EricSwalwell despite no evidence of wrongdoing, officials said. #Trump #DOJ #law #LegalEthics #EnemiesList #RevengePolitics #WeaponizationOfGovernment https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/03/28/fbi-patel-eric-swalwell/

Since #Trump took office, his admin has mounted an aggressive campaign to use federal law enforcement agencies to pursue his political adversaries, repeatedly. …Even against this backdrop, a proposal to release extensive files, send agents to China to interview a suspected intelligence operative & offer her a #US #visa in exchange for unreliable revelations about a US congressman would be extraordinary. #KashPatel #EricSwalwell #law #LegalEthics #DOJ #EnemiesList #WeaponizationOfGovernment

As #FBI director, #KashPatel has focused on trying to bring a criminal case against the outspoken Democrat, reassigning multiple agents in San Francisco to work on the matter, the current & former ofcls said. FBI leaders have even discussed sending agents to China to talk to the suspected intelligence operative, believing she could have damaging information about #EricSwalwell, acc/to 2 of the people…. #Trump #DOJ #law #LegalEthics #EnemiesList #WeaponizationOfGovernment #GovernmentWaste

The potential release is part of the #Trump admin’s aggressive push to investigate #EricSwalwell, [who served as an #impeachment manager (prosecutor) during Trump's 2nd impeachment trial], a vocal critic of #Trump & a leading Democratic candidate for #California #governor, acc/to the people familiar with the effort. It is highly unusual for the #FBI to release case files tied to a probe that did NOT result in criminal charges. #KashPatel #DOJ #law #LegalEthics #EnemiesList #RevengePolitics

#EricSwalwell was not accused of any wrongdoing when the #FBI investigated his relationship with Fang a decade ago. In 2023, the #Republican-led #House #Ethics Cmte closed a 2-year investigation into the congressman, deciding to “take no further action.” #Trump #KashPatel #DOJ #law #LegalEthics #EnemiesList #RevengePolitics #WeaponizationOfGovernment

#FBI Director #KashPatel is pressing to release a decade-old investigative file involving Rep. #EricSwalwell (D-California) & a suspected Chinese intelligence operative, recently dispatching agents in the Bureau’s San Francisco office to quickly redact the files before they are released publicly despite NO evidence of wrongdoing by Swalwell, according to three people familiar with the effort.

🚨Despite that, #FBI leaders have recently suggested in internal discussions that the govt could try to arrange for Fang to get a #US #visa in exchange for speaking with FBI agents about the Democrat, acc/to the 3 people with knowledge of Patel’s efforts. It would be highly unorthodox to grant a visa to a person suspected of being an #intelligence agent for a foreign superpower. #Trump #KashPatel #DOJ #law #NationalSecurity #immigration #LegalEthics #EnemiesList #WeaponizationOfGovernment

#FBI Director #KashPatel's Gmail account was hacked by #Handala. They have published his entire inbox, including mails on his home in India, private life, personal data, business dealings and travel history (including to Havana, Cuba).

Swalwell’s district in Northern California includes a large Chinese American population. #Republicans & #RightWing #media personalities frequently criticize Swalwell for his ties to Fang & the Chinese community, suggesting that he is improperly working with them.
FBI agents need a specific investigative reason to reopen a closed investigation. People familiar with the probe said it is unclear how or why the #FBI reopened its examination of #EricSwalwell. #Trump #KashPatel #DOJ #law #LegalEthics
