How stupid is Eric Swalwell?

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.

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.

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.

Except for liberals being foolish.
