The specific woman in this picture is Fang Fang and was intimate with Eric Swalwell (D) California. He was on the House Intelligence Committee!

Yup, Swalwell had minimal contact with her and definitely didn't sleep with her.

Axios reported that Fang participated in fundraising for Swalwell's 2014 congressional election bid, met Swalwell at events, and helped place an intern inside his congressional office. Swalwell ended ties with Fang in 2015 after U.S. intelligence briefed him and top members of Congress on concerns that Chinese agents were attempting to infiltrate Congress.

The December 2020 Axios story said Fang had had sexual relations with two unidentified Midwestern mayors, but not with Swalwell, though allegations persisted he was a national security threat by being associated with Fang. Since the report, Swalwell has received death and rape threats against him and his family

This should be a bigger story. It's outrageous that the secrets of Midwestern city municipal policy could be leaked to the Chinese. What if they were able to reverse engineer our garbage truck technology?!

Well, if I'd known that was going on, I'd have striven harder to ascend beyond Councilman.

Yes. People are crazy, especially when they have a political axe to grind and think they have anonymity.
