Democrat President Joe Biden’s impeachment inquiry has dominated headlines this week but for different reasons on each side of the political aisle.
Most Democrats are convinced — at least that’s what they say in public — that the impeachment inquiry isn’t going anywhere at this point.
Instead, they accuse Republicans of wasting time and resources on it.
Most Republicans, and decent-minded Americans, beg to differ, however.
According to The Hill, one Democrat who’s convinced that the impeachment already has a “time of death” is Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA).
Like many of his colleagues, Swalwell, who had an affair with a Chinese Communist Party spy while serving on the Intelligence Committee, claims that Republicans in charge of the impeachment proceedings do not have the required evidence to make it happen.
At a fiery House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing on Wednesday regarding the impeachment inquiry, Swalwell made it clear that he doesn’t believe Republicans can bring the inquiry across the finish line.
“I dare you to impeach,” Swalwell said directly to Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY).
Comer has led the charge in the investigation into the Bidens and their shady foreign business deals.
“But you won’t because you don’t have the evidence,” Swalwell continued.
“And because you don’t have the evidence, you don’t have the votes.
“Guys, it’s dead,” the congressman claimed.
“And so, I’m here to pronounce the time of death.”
“5:16, Biden impeachment’s dead,” Swalwell said. “Joe Biden has been acquitted.”

The Hill noted:
The California Democrat then stood up and wrote “5:16 [p.m.]” on a board held by a person behind him that had the words “BIDEN IMPEACHMENT TIME OF DEATH” across the top.
Earlier, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) made headlines after offering similar predictions.
She insisted that the GOP has “no charges,” adding:
“At this point, the story isn’t the fact that the basis of this impeachment inquiry is wrong.
“The story is, ‘Why it is proceeding anyway?’”
She added, “I have yet to hear in the chairman’s opening the allegation that they are specifically charging the president of the United States with.
“I am hearing about the ‘Biden family.’
“I am hearing about this and that.
“I am not hearing the specific allegation by this committee.
“What is it? It is not here. And that is the problem.”
Elsewhere in the hearing, Ocasio-Cortez humiliated herself while desperately trying to defend the Bidens.
As Slay News reported, AOC put on a cringeworthy display while grilling Biden family whistleblower Tony Bobulinski who was called to testify during the hearing.
The congresswoman demanded that Bobulinski, who was called as a witness and not a prosecutor, explain “exactly” what crimes Democrat President Biden is guilty of committing.
“Is it your testimony today that you personally witnessed President Joe Biden commit a crime?” AOC yelled while aggressively staring down Bobulinski.
However, before Bobulinski could even answer, he was cut off by the animated progressive representative.
Instead of letting him answer, she interrupted by repeating the same question to him.
“How much time do I have to go through it?” Bobulinski shot back.
While Bobulinski tried to list the charges, AOC repeatedly interrupted and yelled over him.
When he listed the charges, AOC shouted:
Excuse me, sir. RICO is not a crime. It is a category.”
The comment has led to calls for Georgia’s Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to drop her case against President Donald Trump.
Willis has hit Trump and 18 co-defendants with federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) charges.
Nevertheless, despite the Democrats’ desperate attempt to protect Biden and his family, Republicans remain sure that enough evidence will be presented to move the ball forward.
