Already, mortgage-fraud charges have caught up with New York Attorney General Letitia James and ex-FBI chief James Comey, both of whom were involved in multiple lawfare cases against President Donald Trump.

A third name soon could be on that list, ardent anti-Trumper Rep. Eric Swalwell of California.

A columnist's post at the Gateway Pundit explains Swalwell apparently has no residence in California, which he represents, possibly running afoul of legal requirements.

It is columnist Joel Gilbert who charges that Swalwell, who has been criticized in recent years for his "alleged ties to the Chinese spy 'Fang Fang,'" and his "removal from the House Intelligence Committee over national security concerns," might be in serious trouble.

Doesn't apply.  Swallwell has the magic (D) by his name.

Rules don't apply to (D)ems.  They are more equal than others.

How many members of Congress don't actually live in their districts? I suspect there are dozens.

Quite a few others' addresses as their own. Dick Gephardt always used his mother's home address in South St. Louis as his own. He wouldn't have lived in such a humble abode.

What actually seems to be the case is that Swillwell has residences in his district AND in 2022 bought a home in DC, committing mortgage fraud by claiming it's his principal residence. So whether he's ineligible to be a CA Congress Critter or committed mortgage fraud, I don't expect much to come of this because of his Magic Golden D.
