Eric Swalwell's open congressional seat in the East Bay, a shadowy Republican political action committee and opposition research firm with ties to the Trump administration and other conservatives, was already digging for dirt on her. Allan Blutstein, a noted Freedom of Information Act maven asked the Hayward city clerk last month to gather any emails from Wahab, one of the nation's first-ever Afghan-American elected officials. The fishing expedition included references to or correspondences with a trio of young, dynamic, but controversial, progressive congresswomen — Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Wisconsin, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. Blutstein also sought information on Wahab's spending as a city councilmember. Blutstein is a senior vice president for America Rising, a conservative group that provides opposition research on Democratic candidates. Blutstein previously served the same capacity for Definers Public Affairs, a conservative communications firm that was hired by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to seek emails from low-level bureaucrats in the department containing negative comments about President Trump. The firm also was retained by Facebook last year to dig up negative information on Senate Intelligence Committee members who were set to grill its chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks
