Eric Swalwell's Downfall. Why Now?

If you believe the progressive pundits, Eric Swalwell's sexual crimes have been his sole undoing. I doubt it.
I'm not breaking news by pointing out that Swalwell could have split the Democrat vote in the California gubernatorial race, possibly giving the advantage to a strong Republican challenger. After all, Gavin Newsom has to overcome his own record: hundreds of videos of homeless people living and dying on California city streets, interviews with families and their children - children who aren't actually their's - living in tents on those city streets, massive government corruption, burned out Los Angelos that is not recovering, high taxes, the outmigration of taxpayers, endless forest wildfires in overgrown strangled forests, Newsom flouting his own lockdown regulations during Covid, and so forth. With Newsom being the Democrats' apparent choice, they don't need Swalwell gumming up the works.
Suddenly four women have accused Swalwell of sexual misconduct. OK, but are we expected to believe that no one in Congress or the media had a clue about his propensities before these recent revelations? And, I'm sorry, but why did victims wait until now to reveal that years ago "Swalwell began making sexual comments and sent . . .photos of his penis and of him shirtless . . .?" Producing that evidence would have stopped the harassment and protected other women.
Even if we believe that no one in gossipy Congress and the media knew about Swalwell's sexual propensities, they did know about his relationship with Chinese spies. Why did his career continued to flourish after that? Apparently, the California political machine, whose power even Ro Kahanna acknowledges, wanted their compromised useful idiot - until they didn't. The next question is why does that machine stand behind the disastrous Gavin Newsom?
