Summary

Trey criticizes the culture of fame that he says enabled former California Congressman Eric Swalwell’s (D) alleged misconduct, shining a light on the bipartisan hypocrisy protecting powerful figures in D.C. He analyzes how political leaders and the media often prioritize television appearances over legislative substance, creating a "facade of influence." Trey also calls out members of his own party for applying a double standard to Republican figures accused of similar misconduct, arguing that true justice is blind to political affiliation.

political culture. I don't think you can point to a single

legislative accomplishment he had. I observed him on two committees, one in public, judiciary,

and one in private, House Intel. He was mediocre as a questioner at best.

So a man with limited talent, no real experience, had the hubris to run for president.

He was on an impeachment prosecution team that lost.

He was a leading proponent of the Russian collusion hoax. He parlayed being in nothingness

into ubiquitous media appearances, which feeds the modern narrative that fame is the ultimate

political virtue. He then decided to run for governor of California where he was in the

And this is where I'm supposed to say he denies all allegations, but in truth, he doesn't.

He admits to what he calls mistakes and apologizes, but he denies criminality.
