That's a whole lot of babysitting

Two Eric Swalwell stories today: "Report: Group of Women Preparing to Accuse Rep. Swalwell of Harassment" and "Thread OWNING Eric Swalwell for Nannygate Payments Takes CRAZY Turn to 'OMG, Is He a CREEPER' Town."

The latter grabbed my attention because the rules for paying for child care during a campaign are strictly defined and, by all appearances, Swalwell just paid his nanny a regular salary out of campaign funds.  A whopping $240,000 went for "childcare" reimbursements.

I'm not saying that Swalwell was paying off his nanny to keep her mouth shut about an affair.  I'm just saying that's a lot of cash for somebody who - allegedly - is going to be accused of a lot of DM sliding.
