This reminds me of Scott & Dr. Evil ……. why don’t they just indict him for the supposed honey pot spying arrangement???? Instead of, yaknow, subletting his basement or whatever this is going to be.

He has to be a real dope if this is accurate 

“Disgraced Rep. Eric Swalwell has been referred to the DOJ for potential CRIMINAL CHARGES after evidence of mortgage fraud was found by FHFA Chair Bill @Pulte, per NBC
 

“Swalwell not only committed mortgage fraud — he deemed himself INELIGIBLE to be a member of Congress, as he declared his DC residence his primary residence.

No public record searches show a home owned or leased by Swalwell in California.

Members of Congress are required under Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution to be “inhabitants” of the state they represent at the time of their election

Swalwell was not and IS not an inhabitant of California, it seems.

Are you following how this is going in the James case? It ain’t going good for the DOJ.

Fwiw I agree on the residence thing but my guess is a third of Congress at least isn’t adhering to that.

Of course he is an inhabitant of California. 

What an absurd accusation.  Talk about a nothingburger.

Most people in congress have residency in their home states as well as living in DC.

Is Trump going to just file mortgage fraud charges on every congressman he doesn't like?

Inside Eric Swalwell’s Bizarre 2010 Divorce: A Petty, Sketchy Preview of His Political Career Full of Red Flags

by Joel Gilbert Nov. 14, 2025 8:15 am10 Comments

Eric Swalwell made a point of positioning himself as a high-profile Donald Trump critic and moral authority, appearing almost nightly on left-leaning TV shows for years.

However, scandal also followed him, from his alleged ties to the Chinese spy “Fang Fang” to his removal from the House Intelligence Committee over national security concerns, to his infamous on-air mishap during a 2019 interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews.

Apparently, Eric Swalwell’s public scandals didn’t come out of thin air. They were foreshadowed in his comedic and confused 2010 “Summary Dissolution” public divorce agreement with his first wife, Melissa Jane Maranda.

It reads like two toddlers fighting over toys at a garage sale. It also shows stunning levels of pettiness, questionable financial decisions, a complicated relationship with a Toyota Camry, and a $10,000 benefactor.

Most of all, it tells the political origin story of Eric Swalwell, whose life was unsurprisingly in chaos.

A Summary Dissolution

A summary dissolution is California’s “easy” divorce path, meant only for short marriages with few assets and no children. Swalwell and his then-wife qualified.

They married in 2007, separated in 2009, and had no children. But what should have been a clean, simple form filing instead turned into a petty, strangely detailed, and unusually sloppy agreement that mirrors the chaotic vibe that came to characterize Swalwell’s later political stunts.

The Strange Division of Dollar Store Items

Most summary dissolutions sum up property division in one sentence: “Household goods divided as mutually agreed.” Not the Swalwell divorce. Not even close.

Instead, the filing itemizes nearly every single object the couple owned, down to napkin rings, towels, a can opener, and serving bowls.

This was a Black Friday brawl between two people fighting over kitchen appliances.

Even the Halloween décor was treated like a high-value marital asset requiring court-level documentation.

It likely indicates a high level of contentiousness and mistrust. Swalwell demanded the napkins, napkin rings ($2.50 retail), the toaster, a warming tray, and a salad spinner.

Melissa, apparently not trusting Eric, needed in writing that she would get the can opener, the blender, a cutting knife, and the TV stand.

Next, they split sets of bowls and glassware “one-half each,” which is not normal if you are “amicably separating”.

For a man who later styled himself as a national leader and foreign-policy expert, the divorce paints a picture of stunning emotional immaturity and a comically low conflict-resolution IQ.

The Toyota Camry

Most couples argue about who gets the nice car. But the star of this comedic tragedy is Melissa’s car, a 2008 Toyota Camry, which carried a loan balance of $29,588.29. That’s right. A Toyota. Camry.

Swalwell agreed to pay $538.46 per month and “try” to assume the loan. But if Toyota Financial won’t approve the assumption, Melissia is stuck with the first $3,250 of any leftover debt.

This clause is so financially chaotic that it feels like a metaphor for Swalwell’s entire political career.

Car lenders rarely allow a unilateral loan assumption, meaning this plan was almost guaranteed to fail. If the car was underwater, which this agreement implies, Melissa agreed to potentially pay thousands to cover a vehicle she wasn’t keeping.

The Mysterious $10,000 Paul Mandell Loan

Swalwell alone assumes responsibility for a $10,000 personal loan owed to “Paul Mandell.” No details or explanation.

The strangest twist? Eric Swalwell and Paul Mandell are both credited as Executive Producers in the new 2025 R-rated film Words of War.

The film is about “Journalist Anna Politkovskaya’s brave crusade, fighting for an independent voice in Putin’s Russia.”

Mandell, a Yale Law graduate and founder of Consero Group LLC, is not a random personal acquaintance. He is a politically connected Washington and New York lawyer-entrepreneur.

Why Swalwell owed him $10,000 in 2010, and why it appears with zero explanation, remains unanswered.

What’s Missing

Given Swalwell’s later track record of questionable judgment as a Congressman, the omissions in the summary dissolution deserve some suspicion.

Despite earning a salary of around $73,000 per year as an Alameda County Deputy District Attorney, and despite being married for two years, the absence of basic financial items is highly unusual.

There are no bank accounts, no cash on hand, no savings, and no stocks. Swalwell lists only his Alameda County ACERA pension. Melissa gets the wedding and engagement rings, a 401 (k) and an IRA. That’s it.

Public records often reveal more about a politician than their speeches ever will. In Eric Swalwell’s case, his 2010 summary dissolution provides a revealing, oddly prophetic snapshot of his temperament, priorities, and judgment.

In short, the divorce agreement is vintage Eric Swalwell. It’s messy, immature, financially irrational, and filled with red flags.

Everything America later learned about Eric Swalwell was already there, hidden in a 2010 divorce file full of napkin rings, a can opener, an underwater car loan, and a mysterious $10,000 benefactor.

It’s also hilarious, all totally on brand for Eric Swalwell. It matches the man it belongs to.

I imagine he will if they are on his enemies list. Stay tuned.

True, Politkovskaya was assassinated by Putin. Seems like a worthy project.

In Ivana Trump’s divorce petition she alleged Donald Trump raped her & that he liked to read Hitler speeches. After she died in a mysterious fall that shouldn’t have killed someone of her age & health Trump buried her on the side of the fairway of one of his country clubs & claimed a tax deduction meant for cemeteries.

Interesting.  Link?

I knew he buried her on one of his golf courses, which was tasteless and disrespectful of the deceased IMO (unless she loved golf and that was her request). 

But then claiming a tax deduction meant for cemeteries is completely beyond the pale.

Swallowswell should face enhanced interrogation methods to determine what state secrets he gave Fang Fang.

When the messenger is Gateway Pundit, which has a documented history of posting false news stories that they never retract, you don't have to attack the message as its truthfulness is already suspect and has zero credibility outside of MAGA world.

The Gateway Pundit has an extensive history of publishing falsehoods, hoaxes, and conspiracy theories. It is widely described by media analysts and fact-checkers as a "fake news website" and an unreliable source of information.
