Many people are interested in the John Solomon release of FBI information regarding former congressman Eric Swalwell and his relationship with a known Chinese operative named Fang Fang, aka Christine Fang. [SOLOMON LINK]
Personally, I’m not that interested in rehashing the Swallwell-Fang Fang storyline. However, there is a lot of mistaken information regarding the story. So, here’s the full background context that will hopefully make sense of the FBI conduct as it relates to the Chinese compromise.
[Fang Fang, aka “Rusty Thumbs”]
[Rusty Thumbs was chosen by the FBI as the codename because the rumor was that Swallwell liked a sexual position known as the “rusty trombone.” Fang would stimulate Swalwell thusly. I know, TMI.]
♦ The FBI has two basic missions. The #1 primary mission is to protect the interests of Washington DC officials from the outcome of their own conduct. The #2 secondary mission is to protect the American people from known wolves.
♦ The Dept of Justice National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) monitors foreign influence in Washington DC. The DOJ-NSD use the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) as the primary legal tool to monitor the political influence. Former Attorney General Eric Holder, on behalf of President Obama, took this monitoring to new political levels of weaponization.
These two facets come together in the story of California members of congress who are long known to have been the primary conduit of Chinese money into DNC operations at a federal and individual campaign level. The FBI have known about this for a long time, a very long time.
There was a Chinese Spy named Russell Lowe employed by former Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) for several decades. Russell Lowe began working with Dianne Feinstein in the 1970’s. According to reporting by CBS Lowe passed along information gained from Feinstein to the Chinese government. [H/T Rosie Memos]
The story of Russell Lowe inside Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) Vice-Chair Dianne Feinstein’s political life surfaced as an outcome of the Fang-Fang revelations. However, in reality Fang-Fang entered the orbit of Eric Swalwell as a result of Feinstein’s compromise with the Chinese spy ring.
It is said that Feinstein’s staff introduced Fang Fang to Swalwell when the Freshman Congressman first won election in 2012, taking office in 2013.
Who was Dianne Feinstein’s lead staff? Dan Jones.
Dan Jones left the SSCI prior to the 2016 election and went to work pushing the Trump-Russia narrative through his media contacts.
Dianne Feinstein abdicated her Vice-Chair position on the SSCI after the 2016 election, to Mark Warner.
Dan Jones took over funding Fusion-GPS and Chris Steele in 2017 at the same time Senator Mark Warner took over as SSCI vice-chairman. Dan Jones and Mark Warner coordinated the efforts outside and inside government on the same objective. The Senate Intel Committee was part of the Trump-Russia collusion effort.
As a result of their alignment and common purpose the SSCI didn’t investigate the origin of the Trump-Russia narrative; and instead positioned themselves as a shield to block any investigative inquiry into what took place. {GO DEEP}
♦ Combined with House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) Chairman Adam Schiff also being from California and also having some of the same compromises with proclivity as well as Chinese operatives, that’s likely why Fang Fang would be interested in young Swalwell while Schiff guided him into the HPSCI.
The FBI had been monitoring the Chinese operation for a long time. The FBI knew the network, knew the political targets and were monitoring all of it for decades. That’s why the FBI were interested in flipping Fang Fang to be a confidential human source (CHS). Remember, the #1 mission is to protect -not impede- the DC politicians. So, the FBI was monitoring Fang Fang as she engaged with Swalwell.
This part is critical to understand.
The FBI were managing the compromise, not eliminating it.
The FBI were not interested in capturing Fang Fang in the traditional sense of a CHS; rather the FBI would protect Swalwell by wrapping her up in a blanket the same way the FBI wrapped up Chris Steele’s primary sub-source, Igor Danchenko.
Fang Fang as a CHS would protect Swalwell, as Danchenko as a CHS protected Mueller’s operation; that was the purpose.
However, as soon as Jack Smith, yes (that same Jack Smith) from the DOJ Public Integrity Section (PIN) could identify a way that Swalwell could reasonably be classified as a victim in the system, then the FBI shifted from recruiting Fang Fang to investigating her. When the FBI notified Fang Fang of her status (under targeted investigation) she fled back to China. The FBI notifying Fang Fang was specifically intended to generate that response. [It’s a repeat of the Awan brother’s operation.]
You might notice that all of these operations circle around the Senate and House “intelligence committees,” that is not a coincidence. The higher value targets for China, Shiff, Feinstein, Swalwell etc, operate inside the DC intelligence oversight.
While operating as a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Swallwell was Robin to Schiff’s Batman. The two were inseparable. Shiff and Swalwell both from California, both extremely corrupt and partisan, both operating together to leak from the HPSCI and frame narratives against Donald Trump.
Eric Swalwell would leak shaped intelligence information to CNN’s Manu Raju in the same manner that Mark Meadows would leak information to John Solomon.
Shiff/Swalwell would attack Trump; Meadows would defend Trump.
This was the process throughout 2017 and 2018. Swalwell was the House manager for the second impeachment effort.
As John Solomon puts it: “In a 2015 interview with the FBI, then-Congressman Swalwell told agents that he first met Fang in 2012, during his first congressional campaign. He admitted to the agents that he had “physical relations with Fang” on multiple occasions, according to the FBI summary. In a subsequent interview in 2016, Swalwell detailed one incident where Fang showed up at his door, after which Swalwell said they “hooked up,” according to the interview summary.
In that second interview, Swalwell confirmed that Fang did refer interns to both his campaign and congressional offices. He noted that he and his staff treated Fang’s referrals as coming from the Asian Pacific Islander American Public Associations (APAPA), an important constituent group in his district.
“FANG was unique when it came to interns, because SWALWELL saw FANG as connected to the Asian Pacific Islander American Public Associations (APAPA) and [redacted],” the 2016 interview summary reads.
“SWALWELL viewed anyone that FANG put forward for an internship as coming from APAPA,” it adds. “A significant portion of SWALWELL’s constituents are Chinese American and diversity is important.” (read more)
After Kevin McCarthy became Speaker of the House in January 2023, he announced that he would remove Eric Swalwell from the House Intelligence committee, saying, “If you got the briefing I got from the FBI, you wouldn’t have Swalwell on any committee.”
Many cheered the McCarthy announcement. However, what most people missed was that Swalwell was term-limited on the HPSCI and Swalwell’s membership expired in January 2023. McCarthy was just doing what McCarthy did.
Throughout the process the FBI were not mitigating or eliminating the Chinese spy compromise, the FBI were managing it.
They still are.
Top men.
Wash – Rinse – Repeat.
That’s probably more than you wanted to know about it; however, at least we can see the pattern.
Warmest best,

I always appreciate distillation.
But I thought I’d never see the day the words “sexual position” would enter into the conversation here.
I suppose as needs must to get the big picture…
Nevertheless….
I guess it was hard to avoid considering that this is Swalwell in the discussion.
Just the name “Swalwell” seems disgusting in and of itself. He’s just gross!
I know and who kisses like that?????!
I had to look it up. Never heard of it. That this sicko was doing that, is in and of itself, proof of just how corrupt and perverse his mind is. Talk about gutter mind, it doesn’t get any worse than that. There are no words to describe what swallswell was doing🤮 🤮🤮
The mafia was all about distillation….no thanks to J Edgar Hoover.
👍🏻 😎
Yes but the bootlegger kind of distilled product is a disinfectant. Much disinfection is needed after the Swalwell exposé.
😁
I will never look at a trombone, in the same manner…
Neither will Ad rem methinks…
I used to play the trombone in elementary school. Whole thing is most distasteful imo….
🤣🤣🤣
I literally had no idea what that was until now. This is the one Sundance article that I want to unlearn. Sadly.
Luckily I am not exposed to too many trombones in the first place.
I just hope that I don’t have to hear about Fani Willis and the bass tuba position.
LMAO!!
Zing!
Politics is a nasty, nasty business!
One humongous
“Eee-uuuu” 🤮!
Haha!!! Every single day ending in “Y”, sis, I ask what fresh hell is on the menu.
Ima gonna quit askin’.
That’s ok.
You will get served anyway.
Don’t ask and you can have a daily surprise.
So it seems….
Hang in there ladies the Rapture comes next removing the church from earth as well as the restrainer.
NHn, 😂😂
Y’all are killin’ me!
Bets, 😂😂
Someone in the FBI has a sense of humor.
How do they know that’s his favorite position? Either someone told the FBI or there was physical surveillance.
Oh boy, can’t believe I’m going to add this to the comments, but (no pun intended) to now know what an R.T. is and simultaneously remembering this loser’s nickname is Fartwell.
So gross.
More things to unlearn, unsee and now unsmell.
Eeeeew, I guess this makes his on news interview (fart) explosion, thus “FARTWELL” nickname, make sense.
Eeeeeew..
The more you know.
The worst part is, I’m afraid the next time Mr. Lily gets a certain gleam in his eye, I’ll be tempted to start humming “76 Trombones in the Big Parade”…
He’ll think I’ve gone mad…but I could never in a million years explain.
I’m glad I stopped by.
Y’all have made my day! 💕😂
This is the same Swalwell who ran for President. Sad trombone, there…
And almost ran for governor.
Every single time swallow goes out in public he should be shamed by people calling him Rusty.
He was standing behind the door when that useful attribute was being handed out.
He was not by himself eithe apparently. It must have been very crowded back there.
Wash, rinse, repeat TMI 😎😙
Oh, Bets!
I went to the urban dictionary. 😬😣😳
This youngun looks almost identical to my first grade picture, minus the cat.
Nor did I look so happy and pleasent.
They know about it and do nothing. How do we beat that?
Pitchforks?
A violent act.
Sustained violent acts.
I’m sure Kash is working HARD ON it even as we speak. I can hear the lovely trombone music now….
Suggest a different 🎶 instrument?
A — perhaps ?
🤔
Like a drum, I guess…
Yeah it would seem an arrest wasn’t in the cards huh!
Reports of Feinstein having a CCP driver is not true, he was her office manager.
Many years ago – pre internet as universal search service – the Bay Area Guardian had an article about DF’s Chinese driver. I think the CA greasy haired governor was SF mayor and Cackles was DA at the time, I wouldn’t swear to it, but that’s how my memory is working at the moment.
When the more recent iteration of the story surfaced I went looking but couldn’t find.
Microfiche from a public library perhaps.
Can we hate the FB lie enough.
Bottom feeding mouth breathers. May J Edgar rot in Hades
Just like playing chess. Moving the pieces on the board.
Back in the 50’s Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for doing the same thing.
Just two Communists doing their thing and being helped out by the communist FBI
Spectre agent Miss Kiss Kiss Fang Fang.
As a fan of silly terms, the rusty trombone does not involve thumbs. It involves a lingual appendage in the rectum, whilst using a hand on another male organ as if one is playing the trombone.
But my favorite silly term is an upper Decker. That is when you go to a stranger‘s house and poop in the water tank of the toilet. Far less nasty, far more funny.
In swalwell’s version, the thumb replaces the tongue.
To be clinically and linguistically accurate, here is what Grok has to say about that replacement: “There is no established or documented sexual slang meaning for “rusty thumbs” as a variation of the “rusty trombone” (or any other act) that involves inserting a thumb into the anus instead of using the tongue. Extensive checks of slang dictionaries, sexual glossaries, Urban Thesaurus-style resources, and general web sources turn up nothing supporting that definition. “Rusty trombone” itself is consistently defined as anilingus (tongue stimulation of the anus) performed at the same time as a handjob. Known variants or related terms (such as “rusty trumpet”) exist, but “rusty thumbs” does not appear among them as a recognized alternative involving digital (thumb) penetration. The recent online commentary around the FBI code name “Rusty Thumbs”—including Sundance’s explicit note at The Conservative Treehouse linking it to a rumor about the “rusty trombone”—is post-hoc wordplay and speculation based on the phonetic similarity and the reported sexual context of the Swalwell/Fang story. It does not indicate that “rusty thumbs” was already an existing slang term for the specific variation you describe. In short, while someone could invent or jokingly use the phrase that way today, it has no prior documented usage or status as sexual slang.
The FBI managed the Laptop From Hell too but Sean Hannity says it was only a few bad actors.
Of course Mr. Stank and Vile would tell us all FBI are honorable patriots.
The Urban Dictionary was quite entertaining and made for many laughs at the frat boy level of intellect.
The Rusty Trombone is quite complicated. But if you want a great laugh, look up The Angry Pirate!
Urban dictionary never disappoints. Lol
Alabama hot pocket is far worse. Cleveland steamer. Dirty Sanchez.
Sundance may have to add one of those ARE YOU 21 buttons in this thread.
Yuck….! Why does the District of Corruption attract such deviant personalities?
See Book of Romans. “it’s all in the Book”
Welp, done with this and done with “the rank and file are good agents”.
Not part of living my best life.
May the little pervert Swallwell have an ephipiny and become a Christian.
Eeeuhooo!
I know a retired FBI man reasonably well. He’s the prototype of who you believe is a good rank and file agent. He lives in a pleasant DC suburb. I feel like doxing him but will decline for now. Independently of him, I met two other FBI agents, tasked with interviewing me about the Chinese influence in the USA, something I know about. The interview went nowhere. Nobody followed up. These three men lied to me consistently, and the latter two men never followed up.
I wasn’t happy, but I strung along the original FBI man for a few years. But after some of the original work of Sundance and others, regarding the Chinese, regarding Trump 1.0, and then J6, I got more angry with this retired FBI man. One night after a few drinks I wrote him and told him how sick I was of the DC lying, and that I knew he was a part of it. We haven’t had any communication since.
The retired man draws his defined benefit pension, while also sitting in a pleasant DC sinecure for a lobbying firm. The principals of the lobbying firm are noteworthy men with TDS. I’ve told this to more than a few DC insiders, and nobody cares. There is absolutely zero movement against the Communist Chinese inside the USA. Very frustrating.
I wonder if Eric Swallwell was also into Cleveland Steamers.
“Throughout the process the FBI were not mitigating or eliminating the Chinese spy compromise, the FBI were managing it.”
Yeah, I cannot imagine a more corrupt description of this other than “managing” the operation to be used at will to benefit the swamp. As long as Swalwell was a benefit, he survived. When he threatened party power, he was very quickly thrown overboard.
Swalwell enters office in 2013, and is shagging Chicom spies enough to be caught up in an FBI investigation where he admits to it by 2015, yet he survives in office until 2026.
Managing for at least 11 years. After admitting to shagging a Chinese spy in 2015. But the FBI did nothing to prevent or remove him from the HPSCI. Even though the spy fled to China. Even though they had evidence of her shoveling money into campaigns. Even though she was shagging other Democrat politicians.
Was the FBI trying to recruit her to send her against other politicians they might then ensnare and control?
What are the odds the FBI claims they were running a counter-intel op that just went bad?
It’s interesting to see this come out now since Congress is out of town. Some reporter might ask a politician about it and catch a loud yawn.
“Was the FBI trying to recruit her to send her against other politicians they might then ensnare.”
Wonder if there were enough codenames for her to start an orchestra.
Saxonphone, drummer boy, bagpipes, bad bass, bassoon, Didgeridoo, fluti#s, glockenspiel, organ, recorder, snare drum, strumpet….?
I know that China is our biggest geopolitical adversary, and its intelligence tentacles are all over American society, but the idea of one of its operatives forcing herself to pair up with Eric Swalwell… <shivers> …maybe we’ve given them too much credit.
There are some things that an operative should just never be asked to do…
J
Goes well beyond a Happy Ending.
Eeew, gross! More than I ever wanted to know.
Well, it certainly gives a whole new meaning to “Thumbs up “!
That must explain Swalwells tendency to pass gas so easily. 🤮
After eating Kung Pao chicken with extra garlic and onion ‘ol Fang really got to play a ‘wind’ instrument.
Oh, want things one can “lern” from the Urban dictionary!
Xavier Becerra, anointed to run for Gov in place of Swalwell, was mixed up in the Awan Bros scandal, according to great reporting at the CA Globe. And the “business as usual folks” claim China isn’t rigging our elections here in Cali. Yeah right! Senators, Congressmen, Gov candidates, Mayors, the list goes on. They are all Chinese puppets!
Proof, once again (as if it’s needed), that it doesn’t matter who you vote for, because elected officials aren’t running the U.S. government.
A lie wrapped in truth.
Thanks Sundance..
Young people wearing the uniform do time when they violate security procedures.
Cold anger intensifies.
Sad trombone (VERY sad)
I still have trouble wrapping my mind around the idea that so many in our government, charged with national secrets, are willing to sell out to the Chinese Communist Party.
Swalwell should never have been in Congress, but he was far from alone. This is America, the best country in the world; how is it possible so many people are traitors who make it to high office?
Because foreign governments select people like Swallwell and use unlimited foreign resources to elect and connect them.
It is not a swamp, it is a sewer. Please Dear God make it much much smaller so fewer deviants are dwelling in it.
In my imagination, I see Sundance roller blading around a gigantic whiteboard with coloured strings connecting all the dots! Bravo!
Can someone please provide a PG rated explanation of the trombone thing?
Nothing about DC and the swamp dwellers is PG!
I’m with you. I went to the link but decided ‘nope’, not reading it.
When Pa gets up, I’m going to ask him and if he tells me correctly, what the heck I this is all alluding to, I’m gonna put him in the dog house.
It annoys me that I can always count on Pa to know the stupidest shit in the world, like it’s a spare time hobby he does all day at work.
Very informative as usual Sundance.
These scumbags should all be (fill in the blank, but it should be unpleasant)
This incestuous intermingling literally makes me sick to my stomach. How did we get here? Can we get out?
We can’t trust the IC committees to have the truth if everyone knows the information is being controlled by liars, thieves and cheats.
No trust, no truth, no reality.
So we are being taxed to death and oppressed, while we live in an allusion of freedom.
Do I have this straight?
Gosh I’m almost 70 years old and thought I’d heard it all but much to my surprise I have not…..
Between Schiff and Swalwell, it is exceedingly difficult to determine which of them wants to destroy the USA and her Constitution sooner. Only thing is, when you throw Pelosi into the mix, Schiff and Swalwell drop down the list. Pelosi and her family have benefitted greatly from her tenure in office (more financially than in power) and she seems to show little if any remorse for her role in the attempt to destroy our country. All of these actions are treasonous yet the FBI seems completely uninterested in getting to the bottom of the treason. In fact, it appears that the FBI is far more interested in the coverup and misinformation aspect.
You make a good point, but I disagree that they want “to destroy the USA and her Constitution”.
You are giving them far too much credit.
They are weak men, with no honor and such grotesque sexual deviances that they are selected by foreign or corrupt interests to sell us out.
Bill Clinton is a sex predator per dozens of females (bush 41 was “former” CIA and knew all about Mena Arkansas – yet still “lost” to Clinton) who then went on to fly on the “Lolita Express” to Epstein’s Island 20+times.
BathHouse Barry is a Muslim still trying to destroy the USA with Muslim & communist loving democrats … ZERO charges or consequences for either.
President Trump was drug into a corrupt court with corrupt DA’s and sued for a made-up sexual offense, by a known liar, who was financed by a TDS millionaire.
The Deep State / UniParty ROT is far worse than WeThePeople can imagine.
Hasn’t this potholes dry long ago?
If POTUS doesn’t know this just give up. Managing corruption and treason. Sounds about right from the Hoover FBI.
“rusty trombone.”
Thanks for the link.
Seriously considering changing my user name to Russ T. Romboné
Imagine the complexity of the spreadsheet the “Six Ways From Sunday” fellows now keep on the career politicians. Columns and columns of proclivities and weaknesses. Oh, they must pine for the simpler times when one could just dress as an Arab sheik and flash a briefcase full of cash to catch the easy ones.
Brass does not rust. Aren’t trombones made of Brass.
Things that made Dan quit.
Meanwhile Ka$h is still a Stockholm Syndrome captive.
“Rusty Trombone”, gag a maggot; exactly the kind of activity I would expect from Eric Swallwell. He can’t be gone soon enough.
Who did the CCP send to recruit Adam Schiff?
Dumpling Bang Bang
Chicom code name for Schiff: La Leepop Hed
EEWWWW! She sure went the distance for China!
Fang Fang was probably ecstatic over being able to go back to china and not having to do “stuff” with swalwell anymore.
Are all the Gang of Eight compromised? If so, how about Marco?
Sundance, I don’t think you spelled the name of the former Congressman correctly: it’s Smallswell.
Ask yourself how much intel it took to know the said subject. Ask how many others do they gather intel on. Ask how they gather intel. Than know why intel is being misused.
