...no names, just Dems knew.

This wasn't actually the first take in this theme I read, most of them coming right after the revelations, making essentially political points against Democrats without proof.

That's a red flag for me. Moreover, it diverts from Swalwell's blame or accountability.

It's basically specious, like a post on this thread that suggests Democrats 'liked his attacks oj Trump' and ignored what they claim everyone knew.

I haven't read anything that suggests someone in the leadership, for example, was informed of abuses or complaints. Suggestions I've seen that it was known and ignored in favor of some political viability for Swalwell are basically just projected opinion, and don't come with anything more than speculation.

I mean, the quickness in which people correctly withdrew their support has even been suggested as proof they must have already known something, which is really a sad representation of what was the correct and typically prompt repudiation of Swalwell from Dems and supporters to the publicized reports.
