Eric Swalwell is without a doubt one of the slimiest people in Congress, and that’s saying something. He follows Adam Schiff around like a puppy, kissing Schiff’s backside constantly and is prone to saying stupid things.
Recently he made the statement that removing an Ambassador for political reasons is an abuse of power
“It’s an abuse of power to remove an ambassador for political reasons because you don’t like what they’re doing. Period,” Swalwell began in reference to Yovanovitch, adding later that “it’s an extraordinary abuse of power if you remove an ambassador the way the president did.”
Swalwell, none too bright, is one of many liberals who believe that history began when Donald Trump was elected because someone else fired a whole group of Ambassadors for a political reason.
Obama Gives Political Ambassadors Their Pink Slips
By Glenn Kessler
The incoming Obama administration has notified all politically-appointed ambassadors that they must vacate their posts as of Jan. 20, the day President-elect Barack Obama takes the oath of office, a State Department official said.The clean slate will open up prime opportunities for the president-elect to reward political supporters with posts in London, Paris, Tokyo and the like. The notice to diplomatic posts was issued this week.
Political ambassadors sometimes are permitted to stay on briefly during a new administration, but the sweeping nature of the directive suggests that Obama has little interest in retaining any of Bush’s ambassadorial appointees.
Most ambassadors, of course, are foreign service officers, but often the posts involving the most important bilateral relations (such as with Great Britain, Japan and India) or desirable locales (such as the Bahamas) are given to close friends and well-heeled contributors of the president.

This is simply one more of those “It’s only wrong when trump does it” kind of things. It also goes to the heart of democrat policy- lie,cheat and steal- in order to get Trump out of office. It’s all part of the coup. It’s disinformation in the style of the Gestapo, the Stasi and the KGB.
Ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the President. Swalwell either is in desperate need of a civics lesson or he is an intentional liar.
Then again, I’ve always though that Swalwell looks more like a Nazi than anyone else in Congress.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
The atmosphere in the State Dept was especially stinky I am surprised it was not emptied out like like the chamber pot it is.
Hey, STUPID… that’s THE reason ambassadors are let go and replaced.
Obama did what you do when you don’t think those merely dedicated to their job and country will buy into your ideological agenda. Until all Obama holdovers are purged, this should be the practice.
@kitt:
there is an expression, forgot the language, wherein an individual has kissed his way passed the anal sphincter and now in deep inside the colon or bowels. swalwell’s lips are not brown, but his entire head is brown. his comments were worthless. the former ambassador under muslin terrorrist obama what’s her face, crying on cue, had nothing of relevance to anything. she was a joke
and added nothing to anything. ever wonder how far up she is in sneaky schiff’s colon?
The same Liberal Democrat who threatened gun owners who world refuse to comply with his threat to use Nuclear Bombs on gun owners to would not take part in and Gun Buy Back? Someone remind this idiot the U.S. Constitution is the law of the land and he can go beat out his brains what little he has
I don’t know what units of stupidity are, but Swalwell will require exponential factors.

There’s only one thing to do; blame Trump and impeach.
It has been traditional for all appointed office holders (especially if the opposite party had appointed them) submitted their resignation when a new president was elected. Don’t know why this didn’t happen when Trump was elected. When Obama was elected, he fired all existing ambassadors before he even took office (which I’m quite sure he didn’t have the authority to do).
@Deplorable Me: If you watch the body language on the fart video, he did it. His shoulders actually lifted up when he let it rip.
@Redteam: It was the most honest comment he has ever issued. Speaks pretty clear for a hare-lip. His breath’s the same, but his voice has changed.
Love watching video , where something is build ! https://blackjack88.pro
