Time for journalists to start asking Eric Swalwell about his habit of pursuing subordinate staff and interns for sex.

Hey, I just got off the phone with a trusted friend. This is real. Take it seriously. Eric Swallwell cannot be our nominee. There is going to be a lot more coming out soon. I can’t say more right now, but stay tuned.

Every day since I’ve posted that Eric Swalwell is accused of rampant sexual harassment, more & more women have come forward. I know it’s frustrating to see vague posts, but I cannot tell you how important this waiting period has been to send everyone through the proper channels.

I also work in politics. Having this conversation publicly makes me a liability. But I do not believe in holding republicans to a different standard than we are willing to uphold ourselves. No more predators in power, from either party, period.

That being said, Swalwell follows me. I know that his team is aware of my video and the other creators talking about this. Yet, I have not been served with legal paperwork and I have not received a cease and desist. The truth is an absolute defense and they know that

One more key point I want to share: I am an attorney. I am well aware of the risk I am taking by speaking out publicly and that fact that if I were to lie about a powerful public figure on a platform of my size, I could easily be subject to a defamation lawsuit.

I spoke about this before the story broke to encourage other women to come forward and to help ensure this story breaks as soon as possible because I am not blind to the fact that this will obviously have implications in the CA governor’s race.

The number of credible women who have come forward since I posted my video is pretty shocking and connecting them with the investigative reporting teams who have been working on breaking this for years has greatly expedited this process. I am confident this story will break soon

It appears that others may have stayed quiet due to a belief that non-disclosure agreements required them to keep this secret. While it is true that most NDAs would be unenforceable under these circumstances, most people don’t know that until they speak to a lawyer.

I understand that people want as much information as possible regarding these women, their stories, and their identities. The problem is, most of these women stayed silent because they believe that they are alone in their experience & that coming forward could ruin their careers

We have secured pro bono legal representation for them and they are in the process of sharing information with reporters and ensuring that they are physically and legally safe. That process takes time.

Other women needed to know that they were not alone and that someone had their backs if they came forward. After I spoke about my friend’s experience, many brave women came forward and shared their stories with me

Targeting employees, interns, and fans. Acting as a mentor just to exploit that power. DMs and Snapchat messages. Allegations ranging from uncomfortable comments to potentially criminal conduct

I got involved because the first victim who approached me is a close friend, but when I saw that there were others who’s experiences fit the same pattern of manipulation and abuse of power, I knew I couldn’t stay silent.

I have been working with a number of women who are in the process of coming forward and sharing their stories of sexual harassment and even alleged abuse at the hands of Eric Swalwell. Here’s why we’re talking about it before mainstream media: 🧵

You should be angrier at a man who is running for higher office knowing what he does to women than you are at women who are sharing what they experienced and those of us blowing the whistle on it.

@OrganizerMemes Thank you for amplifying this. These victims are so brave and we are working to ensure that as this story is broken, they are fully protected. They deserve to be platformed, supported, and believed through this process

A year ago my friend told me about an inappropriate experience she had with a politician. She told me about how it negatively shaped her entire career but never said who. This week she reached out to me because that politician is poised to become governor of California.
