Recently Fox News Digital took a peek at the Federal Election Commission filings for one CA Rep. Eric Swalwell.
A quick glance and it looks like the charges of one Richie Rich.
Now, don’t get me wrong.
There isn’t anything wrong about having money and enjoying the finer things in life.
Luxury isn’t a sin.
The trouble comes when it’s money allocated for something else, someone else’s money or ill-gotten gains.
One or more of those seems to be the case with Swalwell.
If he wants to cruise around on yacht with his own money, have at it!
But these funds were pulled from the campaign war chest.

Fox News reports:
Rep. Eric Swalwell’s campaign has regularly dropped large amounts of money on luxury items such as posh hotels, flights, yachts and limousines, including international travel.
The California Democrat has continued the trend as far away from his district as the United Arab Emirates in the final three months of 2023, Federal Election Commission filings reviewed by Fox News Digital show.
According to its year-end filings, Swalwell’s committee reported three payments for nearly $1,700 in Dubai at the five-star Burj Al Arab Hotel, considered the city’s “most iconic hotel” and one of the tallest hotels in the world.
The Burj Al Arab Hotel boasts of being a “global icon of Arabian luxury.” It features an array of suites starting at around $1,300 per night and has a private beach, two outdoor and indoor swimming pools, a spa, eight restaurants and two bars, among other amenities.
The Dubai expense, however, was not the only time his campaign spent internationally in 2023. The committee previously paid thousands of dollars for hotels and restaurants in London and Germany earlier in the year.
Swalwell’s committee spent nearly $90,000 on travel expenses during the last three months of 2023 alone.
$5,364 payment to “Fan Experiences LLC,” a company that helps with tickets to sporting events and concerts. The company specializes in NCAA and NFL tickets.
ADVERTISEMENT$871 was spent on four transactions at Charlie Palmer’s.
$600 was spent on three transactions at Four Seasons Bourbon Steakhouse.
$717 was spent on two transactions at Joe’s Seafood.
$17,000 on Just Dreaming Yacht Charters.
Swalwell’s committee spent $583,000 on travel while Pelosi’s spent $434,000.
