Swalwell, Secret Sex and Reality

 At some point over the past couple of days....some journalist asked Rep Swalwell (the guy who had a Chinese agent as a sex liaison lady for a period of time (more than a year) about his situation and the lady.  He responded...it's classified and no need to discuss it.

The reality over this?  At some point, 2015-era...the FBI quietly came up to Swalwell, and laid out this presentation.  Basically, they knew he was having an affair with some Chinese gal named Christine Fang (her got-you name was Fang-Fang).  Normally, they would not care who you were banging....even if this was a 16-year gal or some Hollywood lady.

But in this case.....Fang Fang was an actual Chinese agent.  

At some point in early 2014, Fang Fang came out and wanted to help Swalwell on campaign donations (best we not discuss this part of the story).  Swalwell and Fang Fang did got into a hot-and-heavy situation.

Did he pass classified data to Fang Fang?  Well....zero proof of that.

Did he pass confidential info to Fang Fang?  Well.....zero proof of that.

Was the sex that Swalwell and Fang Fang had....classified?  To be honest, zero proof of that.

Having spent two decades in the intel world, I can vouch that it's a slippery situation to get Human-Intelligence data and decide upon classifications.  An example: Swalwell meets up with Fang Fang, sipping through a bottle of wine....the two do some pretty crazy stuff and lick whipped topping off each other, then discuss parking arrangements for the House members in DC.  Is any of that classified?  Probably not.

If they met at some swanky Vegas hotel for a whole weekend and wore Batman and Robin outfits while having sex?  No, that's probably not classified either.

If they met in some Baltimore hotel on a work-day for Swalwell, put bacon all over each other and talked about upcoming bills in the House?  Well....that's probably not classified.

So I'm wonder what exactly....out of a couple dozen meetings in hotels....was classified.  In some way, he made this pretty complicated, and there needs to be a House investigation over the guy.  His clearance?  Maybe it should be jerked.  

Observations

 1.  Word over-use for 2020: 'optics'.  I'll bet that I heard this word used at least 7,000 times over 2020.  

2.   On used-car salesmanship, Joe Biden is a rock-solid TEN.  If you had issues with used-car sales people in the past, the coming months probably won't be that enjoyable.  In fact, the less he appears on TV (live)....the better off we might be.

3.  For all the chatter of the 'Russia-hoax' business...NOT one single person has been arrested or detained.

4.  At some point in 2021, I expect a rehab unit in Oregon to start a program to 'detox' people off Antifa operations.  A month-long program will start up where the 'player' will be taken off high-energy drinks, various drugs, and junk food.  At the end, to graduate....they probably will have to hug a guy wearing a MAGA-hat.

5.  'Trust' in the election system?  Probably at a all-time low.  Don't expect anything to resolve this over the next four years.

6.  'Black National Anthem' sung yesterday at the Michigan state-house.  Odds of a Latino 'National Anthem' and Chinese 'National Anthem' being developed by summer of 2021?  I'd give it a 50-50 chance.

7.  A signature audit to be done in Georgia?  Well....it came to be announced there on Monday.  If this goes badly?  No one really says much.

8.   If you use governmental numbers (for the past decade) on ALL deaths, we typically average 2.5 million a year (sometimes going as high as 2.9 million....like in 2019).  As of mid-November, we were still at 2.5 million deaths for 2020 (the Covid year).  The final six weeks? It might go to 2.7 million (we did this number in 2015 and 2016).  

Why the fewer deaths in a Covid-year?  Well....people didn't drive as much.  People didn't frequent bars and get into death-fights.  People didn't get optional surgical procedures and develop infections. 

9.  A key question to ask....would you as a big-name natural gas company go and hire some binge-cocaine 'freak' as a board member?  Companies might not ask a lot of questions over drug habits, but they'd typically look for people that seemed rational and without issues for board jobs.  It just doesn't make a lot of sense to hire up Hunter Biden as a board guy.

10.  Did anyone care to watch the Joe Biden interview after the Electoral College announcement?  This was a C-S*AN covered episode.  What they say....at the peak of the interview and with Joe talking....they had roughly 4,000 people watching.  That's it. 

11. Cleveland Indians dumping 'Indians' name.  Replacement?  Unknown.  Likely use of the 'Indians' name by locals for the next twenty years?  Probably fifty-percent of people will still continue to use the name.  Wouldn't shock me if the team tries to prevent people from entering the stadium wearing their old Indians T-shirts.
