Back in January of 2023, when he was still a host at Fox News Channel and running his show “Unfiltered with Dan Bongino,” now-FBI Deputy Director interviewed Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and the two exposed the many lies, particularly surrounding President Trump, of now-Sen. Adam Schiff and Rep. Eric Swallwell.
As Bongingo is now in a position to go after both woke men, wielding the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as a club against them for illegal behavior, what he thinks they did illegally is important, as it could indicate how he will go after them with his new position inside the Department of Justice.
At the time, then- Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy had honored his pledge to remove Swalwell and Schiff, amongst other Democrats, from their committee assignments. Predictably, Democrats were furious about the decision, and Republicans treated it as a signal victory in exposing the malfeasance of leftist congressmen.
In any case, Bongino, pressing Boebert on what was going on, asked, “You heard what McCarthy said, they won’t have Swalwell on any committee. Joining me, is Lauren Boebert. Seriously, Swalwell is a disaster. We know about the scandal with ‘fang fang.’ How is this guy still on the intel committee getting briefings?”
Boebert, for her part, went nuclear on Eric Swalwell, noting that he is “compromised” and should be kept away from classified information, saying, “Thank you for providing cover for us. We are fighting for these legislative wins we received. These fun times amount to changes. as far as Swalwell, look at last Congress, Congressman Gosar was removed from his committee because he made an anime video. So do I think that Swalwell being compromised by a Chinese spy is reason to be removed from the Intel Committee? Heck yes, I do.”
Continuing and getting to why she is so worried about Swalwell, Boebert said, “He’s obviously sold out to China. In the house, I just voted to stop selling our strategic oil reserves to China. So did most Democrats, but little Eric took a walk and refused to take the vote. He’s compromised, and he should be nowhere near top-secret classified information.”
Bongino, chiming back in, noted that Adam Schiff is similarly compromised, he said, “Congresswoman Adam Schiff as well. This guy wasted six years of our life fantasizing about some Trump PP tape that didn’t exist, and now he got busted in the last Twitter files thing trying to push another hoax about Russians and release the Devin Nunes memo thing. I mean, isn’t this another guy who should just be nowhere near classified information?”

Boebert told him, “Absolutely.Yyou know they’re really showing their colors…The double standard is out of control. They wanted Trump in jail over classified documents, and with Biden, it’s ‘let’s wait and see.’ They attacked Don Jr and praised the crackhead gun criminal Hunter Biden. And now you can even imagine, if it was a Republican caught with a Chinese spy, what would they do? They would be all over that. The fake news, they would be running 24/7 if this was a Republican, and instead, they are running from it because it’s a Democrat, and most Americans haven’t even heard about everything that’s going on.”
The, further attacking Swalwell and accusing him of being compromised, Rep. Boebert said, “And not only has going back to Swalwell, has he been a member of the Intel Committee, but he was a subcommittee chair, and in one hand he’s holding a gavel and, Dan, in the other hand he’s holding a hammer and sickle.”
