<p>California Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell, one of the many lawmakers who slammed Republicans such as former President Donald Trump for cozying up to Russia, was bankrolled with donations from a high-level lobbyist for a major Russian pipeline.</p>
<p>The congressmen raked in $2,900 last year <a href="https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/?data_type=processed&amp;committee_id=C00502294&amp;contributor_name=roberti%2C+vincent">from</a> Vincent Roberti Sr., who chairs the group Roberti Global. In 2018, Roberti donated $5,400 to Swalwell&#8217;s campaign, as <a href="https://freebeacon.com/democrats/swalwell-cozied-up-to-lobbyist-for-putins-pipeline-while-accusing-gop-of-enabling-russia/">reported</a> by The Washington Free Beacon. The lobbying group was <a href="https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/search/?registrant=roberti&amp;registrant_country=&amp;registrant_ppb_country=&amp;client=nord+stream&amp;client_state=&amp;client_country=&amp;client_ppb_country=&amp;lobbyist=&amp;lobbyist_covered_position=&amp;lobbyist_conviction_disclosure=&amp;lobbyist_conviction_date_range_from=&amp;lobbyist_conviction_date_range_to=&amp;report_period=&amp;report_year=&amp;report_dt_posted_from=&amp;report_dt_posted_to=&amp;report_amount_reported_min=&amp;report_amount_reported_max=&amp;report_filing_uuid=&amp;report_issue_area_description=&amp;affiliated_organization=&amp;affiliated_organization_country=&amp;foreign_entity=&amp;foreign_entity_country=&amp;foreign_entity_ppb_country=&amp;foreign_entity_ownership_percentage_min=&amp;foreign_entity_ownership_percentage_max=&amp;search=search#js_searchFormTitle">sent</a> $2.4 million last year from Nord Stream 2 AG, which is behind the Russian pipeline President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-nord-stream-2-sanctions-announcement/">announced</a> sanctions against after the country invaded Ukraine.</p>
<p>Still, while taking money from Roberti, Swalwell criticized Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz — who has been vocal about his disagreement with Biden waiving sanctions on the pipeline last May.</p>
<p>Cruz tweeted in December 2021 that &#8220;History will remember that as Ukraine faced invasion from Russia, Joe Biden used every last trick in the book to exempt sanctions on Putin&#8217;s Nord Stream 2 pipeline,&#8221; to <a href="https://twitter.com/RepSwalwell/status/1468291039609999362">which</a> Swalwell responded, &#8220;On Russia, history will remember Pro-Putin enablers like you.&#8221; Similarly, the California Democrat said last week that &#8220;Ted Cruz’s weakness, recklessness, and surrender have emboldened Trump to keep attacking his wife,&#8221; after the Republican said Biden has &#8220;emboldened Putin to put Europe on the verge of war.&#8221;</p>
<p>Swalwell&#8217;s office did not immediately respond to The Daily Wire&#8217;s request for comment.</p>
<p>Joining Democrats in the impeachment hunt following the 2016 presidential election, Swalwell continuously claimed Trump colluded with Russia to get in office. &#8220;President Trump has also surrounded himself with people who do business with and are sympathetic to Russia,&#8221; the congressmen <a href="https://swalwell.house.gov/issues/russia-trump-his-administration-s-ties">said</a> on an issues page titled &#8220;Russia: Trump &amp; His Team&#8217;s Ties&#8221; still viewable on his website.</p>
<p>&#8220;Not only does his past and current team have ties to Russia, but the President himself also does,&#8221; the page states. &#8220;He has traveled to Russia extensively, done business there often, and has ties to Russian interests. . . Why is America’s leader and his team so close to Russia? This is either due to poor judgement or a deeper personal, financial, or political link between President Trump and Russia. It is not normal for the leader of our country to be so extensively tied to a foreign government that has sought to undermine democracies across the globe, and connections like these should be concerning to American citizens everywhere. &#8221;</p>
<p>Roberti has donated to other top Democrats, including last year to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), The Free Beacon notes. Roberti also funneled money to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.</p>
<p>Swalwell was roundly <a href="https://twitter.com/RepSwalwell/status/1496684825251569666?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1496684825251569666%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftheuscourier.org%2Feric-swalwell-was-ridiculed-for-suggesting-the-gop-was-rooting-for-putin-when-putin-invaded-crimea-latest-news%2F">criticized</a> on social media this week after claiming Republicans &#8220;are rooting for the Russians&#8221; amid the country&#8217;s Ukrainian invasion.</p>
