Description

Even after resigning from Congress, Eric Swalwell can't escape the fallout — a fifth woman, Lonna Drewes, went on record today accusing him of drugging, raping, and choking her back in 2018. Her attorneys say a police report is being filed with the LA County Sheriff's Office right now. The legal exposure is just getting started. Resident Legal Diva Melba Pearson and Florida Law Man Dave Aronberg break down the legal implications and the path forward. We NEED your help!

Oh look a dem is found to be up to no good..he quits, people want accountability and they deserve it. A republicain gets charged for sexual abuse among other convictions, let's make him president. Don't tell me money and power doesn't buy you a free pass from the law in America.

If he’s guilty, then he needs to be in prison like every other rapist should be. I don’t care what party he is. I’m definitely disappointed, but justice is more important.

Difference between dems and republicans, dems are held responsible for their actions! Republicans make them President!

Eric swalwell has been in Congress for 13 years. Where have these women been all this time? And why is the last one filing with the sheriff's department today? I'm not defending him, I'm asking questions.

This situation is not a surprise, however, I am sorely disappointed. There is so much psychological trauma in this country. I am exhausted by it all.
