(DC Pundit) – Newly declassified FBI records have just handed Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) a very public reminder that apparently, national security isn’t exactly his strong suit. According to the FBI’s own 302 interview summaries, Swalwell is a likely conduit for leaks aimed at damaging President Donald Trump. And of course, he wasn’t flying solo; disgraced Adam Schiff was along for the ride.
One whistleblower didn’t bother with polite phrasing: “Rep. Swalwell has been the source of a lot of leaked information and had to be counseled to be more careful.” Translation: Swalwell’s loose lips might just have endangered the country. But did he pause to reflect or take responsibility? Of course not. He went straight to the tried-and-true Democrat playbook: panic, post, and pretend like reality is optional.

Swalwell unleashed a series of unhinged social media rants aimed at Kash Patel and anyone else reporting the story — because when national security allegations hit, the best response is always to flail publicly.
NEW I have obtained a newly declassified @FBI interview summary from 2017 about intelligence leaks from the Russia probes.
While the interview subject’s name is withheld, it appears to be a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

More bullshit in service to Trump to try and keep me quiet. Come get me, Kash.
This Trump stooge long ago put me at the top of his book’s enemies list. This nonsense is just more of that.
I won’t be silent. https://t.co/9LzMIduhra

Critics called him out, and what did Swalwell do? He blamed reporters for not quoting an Inspector General report he claims clears him. “And when reporters fall for this, and don’t give full context (like an IG report saying this is all BULLSHIT) the death threats roll in. Great work!” Swalwell seems to believe that as long as he tweets angrily enough, he can erase the fact that he’s been accused of leaking classified intel.
This “whistleblower” made this bullshit up when Trump was President. If they had anything, they would have indicted me. Trump would have done anything to destroy me if he could have. They didn’t indict me. Therefore, they had nothing. What’s next? https://t.co/9LzMIduhra

This is classic Swalwell. His long-running, highly inappropriate relationship with a Chinese intelligence asset should have ended his political career years ago. Instead, Democratic leadership protected him, kept him on the House Intelligence Committee, and gave him more access to sensitive information than most Americans can imagine.
Schiff spent years weaponizing classified briefings to smear Trump, and now Swalwell is following the same playbook: leak, deflect, and attack anyone who points out the obvious. Democrats love to talk about integrity, but when it comes to protecting their own, suddenly standards of decency and security become optional.
Meanwhile, Swalwell’s tantrums are a free PR boost for his base, but for the rest of America, it’s a reminder of how low the bar has been set for D.C. Democrats. Imagine a Republican caught leaking classified information while cozying up to a foreign operative — the media would have called for resignations, impeachment, and probably a public flogging. But for Swalwell? Crickets.
With Kash Patel putting the FBI’s own records on the table, this isn’t spin, opinion, or right-wing hyperbole. It’s the government’s own documentation saying Swalwell was too reckless to be trusted with secrets. And yet, the Democrats’ response will likely be the same as always: shrug, ignore, and hope the rest of us forget by the next scandal.
In Washington, D.C., accountability is optional, as long as you’re on Team Democrat.
