@Nonilex WTF is wrong with him? It’s a rhetorical question, I know, but still. Appreciate your posting this, as unwanted as this news is. Mrs DB told me she read about Roger Stone involvement-the original dirty tricks guy who got Gary Hart on the Monkey Business with not Hart’s wife. Swalwell is a big target on TACO’s retribution list so why would he do this? 🤦‍♂️

The WTF is probably going to include alcohol abuse. A lot of the stories involve him drinking.

@Hey_Beth If he’s an active Alkie that may well be. The Hill is an environment where people can devolve and often do. No matter what he has to take responsibility, a big part of which may be getting sober. @Nonilex
