Rep. Swalwell Threatens to Sue DA Pamela Price for Ruining His Reputationhttps://hotair.com/john-s-2/2024/10/25/rep-swalwell-threatens-to-sue-da-pamela-price-for-ruining-his-reputation-n3796265I'm sure for most of our readers the idea that Rep. Swalwell has a reputation that can be ruined will come as a surprise. But in this case, the current fight does not involve his widely reported relationship with a Chinese spy. Instead, this is a blue-on-blue battle over Swalwell's old job as a prosecutor.
Progressive DA Pamela Price is currently facing a recall and she is clearly not happy about it. Rep. Swalwell endorsed has critcized Price as soft on crime and the two sides have been sparring back and forth for months. Here's an instance from May in which Swalwell called Price soft on crime and Price's camp responded by insinuating Swalwell was racist.
...
They are none too fond, as the saying goes. But even before that, Price announced in April that all of Alameda County's death sentence cases would be put on hold.
...
Notice that she put all 35 cases on hold based on the details of one case 30 years ago. She made no effort to show problems in the other cases, she just lumped them together without evidence.
The insinuation that the prosecutor's office was corrupt apparently irked Swalwell because 20 years ago, he was a prosecutor in that office and worked there for 8 years. He denied any unethical behavior during his time in the office and lashed out at Price.
I also am not convinced that Swillwell has a reputation that could be ruined,
. Swillwell and Price deserve each other. While Price could be voted out in a couple of week in a recall, unless Swillwell stepped in something rather badly, he is likely to beat his R opponent Vin Kruttiventi by around a 2:1 margin. Unfortunately.
