When Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) went to the steakhouse at the Four Seasons in Washington, D.C. Monday night to dine with (alleged) lobbyists he was a little too loose-lipped, and sadly for him conservative journalist Nick Sortor was seated at the table next to him and heard it all. In fact, Sortor says Swalwell "invaded" his table while he was "inebriated at dinner," and promised a video recap.

Sortor says he has audio of the conversation, but he hasn't yet released it. (Presumably, he's getting legal advice before doing so, even though Washington, D.C. is a one-party consent jurisdiction.) He did, however, release a summary of what Swalwell said and a video of him confronting Swalwell as the groups exited the restaurant.

Sortor wrote: 

EXCLUSIVE: Eric Swalwell PANICS when I ask about his Chinese spy girlfriend Fang Fang, and whether that’s a bigger “national security threat” than Elon Musk.

I sat next to a drunk Swalwell at dinner for 90 minutes. He was IMMEDIATELY compromised by a group of lobbyists he’d JUST MET, spilling intimate details about his job and asking for HELP CHEATING ON HIS WIFE.

MASSIVE national security threat. This guy should have his clearances revoked.

Swalwell spent his dinner bragging about “ORGlES” on Capitol Hill, telling them he’s bored of his wife and “only wants to f*ck tens.”

In replies to the tweet, Sortor alleges that Swalwell claimed he'd cheated on his wife just that week. It's amazing that anyone could eat dinner after hearing such revolting admissions.

At this point, we don't know who Swalwell's dinner companions were, whether they were lobbyists or not, or how long Swalwell's known them. But if he'd just met them that night and was that loose-lipped, well, that's rookie behavior.

Worse, he spoke about ABUSlNG his power on the House Intel Committee (which he’s since been booted off of), saying he pushed to SUBPOENA Ivanka Trump because she’s “hot as f*ck”

THIS GUY MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE HOMELAND SECURITY COMMITTEE. He CANNOT keep his freaking mouth shut.

After I began questioning him, Swalwell jumped back into the group of lobbyists to hide from me, but I pressed on.

Dude looked absolutely TERRIFIED and 100% guilty. He knows he’s been caught.

The look on Swalwell's face said it all.

Sortor's not extremely well-known, but earlier this month he confronted Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), asking her how she amassed her wealth while serving in the Senate, so perhaps Swalwell should have been on the alert.

However, Swalwell shouldn't be engaging in the behavior he brags about, let alone loudly discussing it in public with people he just met. It's not as if unflattering videos of politicians are a new thing; we can go all the way back to 2010 when video of then-Rep. Bobby Etheridge (D-NC) assaulting a college student (who'd stopped him on a sidewalk near Capitol Hill to ask him if he supported the Obama agenda) and yelling, "Who are you?" arguably cost him re-election to know that members of Congress need to have their guard up at all times in public.

Obviously, the things Swalwell was discussing with not just his dinner companions but random people in the restaurant are even worse; hopefully, we'll be able to hear the audio.
