Swalwell has announced his resignation from Congress. It’s impossible not to ask why Texas Republican Tony Gonzales hasn’t done the same. And why the GOP doesn’t insist the Epstein files, which repeatedly mention the head of their party, be fully released.

Analysis Summary
The core facts check out: Swalwell did resign from Congress Monday over sexual misconduct allegations, and Gonzales is indeed a Texas Republican who also recently announced his resignation. The post's factual foundation is solid. However, the comparison between the two resignations and the framing about GOP responsibility for the Epstein files release is commentary, not reportable fact—it's asserting a political critique without citing specific GOP statements or positions. The implication that the GOP "doesn't insist" on file release requires evidence of their actual stated positions, which isn't provided.
