Rep. Eric Swalwell on Tuesday said Republicans have failed to deliver in the Biden impeachment inquiry, while the FBI has.

“Every day, the House of Representatives has worked as the largest law firm in Washington, D.C., on behalf of just one client, and they brought all of this nonsense into this room, promising evidence of impeachment, and they've delivered zero,” Swalwell said during a House Judiciary Committee hearing. “But you know who has actually delivered? The FBI, because they keep arresting the best witnesses they have for their own work on behalf of Russia and China,”

The California Democrat also referenced House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner’s comments last month that Russian propaganda had spread through parts of the Republican Party.

“I don't expect you're going to hear the autopsy report on their impeachment investigation, but the president certainly deserves to hear this: In light of Republicans producing absolutely zero on impeachment, let's just declare from here forward, until they put up some evidence, that Joe Biden has been acquitted of every single MAGA smear. Acquitted. It's over,” Swalwell said.
