Eric Swalwell Scandal: Congress Knew and Stayed Silent — P.A.S. Report | Political Analysis, American Politics & Constitution

The Eric Swalwell scandal is not just about one disgraced member of Congress. It is about a culture of protection on Capitol Hill, a media ecosystem that sits on damaging information, and a federal bureaucracy that demands trust while operating behind closed doors. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Congress, the media, and the bureaucracy are exposed as institutions that protect insiders until silence becomes politically impossible. The episode breaks down why the silence lasted so long, why Democrats moved when they did, and why every American should be skeptical of the sudden outrage now pouring out of Washington.
