McCarthy says FBI briefing on Swalwell was so troubling, 'you wouldn't have' him on 'any committee'
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told reporters if they got the same briefing from the FBI on Rep. Eric Swalwell that he did, 'you wouldn't have Swalwell on any committee'
By Brianna Herlihy | Fox News

  House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Thursday defended his decision to keep California Democrats Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff off the House Intelligence Committee – arguing that Schiff "openly lied" about the Russian election interference and a disturbing briefing he received from the FBI on Swalwell.

"If you got the briefing I got from the FBI, you wouldn't have Swalwell on any committee," McCarthy said in the press conference after one reporter questioned MCarthy's commitment to allowing Democrats to pick their own committee membership.

"And you're going to tell me other Democrats couldn't fill that slot? He cannot get a security clearance in the private sector," McCarthy said. "So would you like to give him a government clearance?"

When you bang bang Chinese spy Fang Fang with your wang wang, don't expect to keep your security clearance.

I'm sure Mr. Swalwell has done a lifetime's worth of damage already.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Since @SpeakerMcCarthy lied yesterday about me — in stark contrast to THREE FBI statements about my assistance — my family and I have been flooded with death threats. Here’s the latest. Who is Austin E. Taylor?
