I've long argued this; the Democrats (and probably the Republicans too) use blackmail to control their politicians and if you play ball you do well but if you buck them they destroy you. Swalwell is proof of that - he no doubt fell afoul of his handlers. This collapse of Swalwell was too fast and orchestrated.
Speaking on Jesse Waters Miller gave the game away:
"[The] real story here is how the Democrat Party controls its members through blackmail, It’s got a blackmail file on all of its politicians, and it uses them to leverage and control them until it’s time to release it, That is how sick and twisted the Democrat Party is.”
He's right but don't excuse the Republicans. Remember Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert? Hastert was a good little boy as Speaker, never moving any controversial legislation and basically leading a do-nothing Republican Congress. We now know he was being blackmailed by a young man he sodomized when he was a wrestling coach and nobody in Congress apparently knew about it. Ri-ight.
I submit to you that everyone knew about it and it was the fact Hastert could be easily controlled that led to his getting the nod to be Speaker. In many ways our politics are a sham, a kabuki theater to make it appear we have two warring parties but really both ships sail in the same direction.
Only Trump came from outside and refused to play along, which is why they have tried to destroy him with such venom.
I think Washington is a snake pit, and I think blackmail is as common as coffee there.
The Democrats hardly ever suffer their members going it alone, bucking the official party line. That isn't happening by accident. Many Democrats know, for instance, that the public hates illegal immigration and I am sure many in Congress would have loved to have taken a harder line against it but the Party says no. So they go along with the open borders policy, and risk losing their seats. Oh, and their country too. They clearly are more afraid of something else.
Probably blackmail.
How many others have sold their souls , and are hiding some bad stuff in D.C.? We know Congress had a "bimbo eruption squad" and maintained a publicly-funded account to pay off people who made accusations of sexual misconduct against members. If they were paying off women/men/horses that means they knew about who was doing that kind of thing, and yet nobody in Congress spilled the beans about it. What does that tell us?
It tells me they are ALL compromised. All of them.
