Eric Swalwell Had a Bad Day Today - The FBI Searched His Home And Seized His Devices
Description
Hawk's interest is procedural. Two actions like that mean two warrants, which means agents went to a federal judge with an affidavit and established probable cause, both that crimes likely occurred and that evidence of them would likely be found in those specific places. That is a meaningful threshold, and it is not a finding of guilt.
The open question is jurisdiction. Sexual assault is generally prosecuted by states. Federal involvement usually points to something crossing state lines, and the reporting so far does not explain which theory applies here.
Hawk also notes the timing and the current posture of the Justice Department, which is worth holding in mind either way.
