With Hunter Biden due to testify on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) delivered some pre-testimony spin to reporters where he torched the Republican-led impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden as a complete failure.
As reported by the Washington Examiner's Cami Mondeaux, Raskin held court and stuck a metaphorical fork in the impeachment inquiry.
“Nobody can state on their side what they think Joe Biden did, even as a private citizen, that would constitute some kind of criminal offense," Raskin said.
Per Punchbowl News' Max Cohen, Raskin also deemed the inquiry "a comedy of errors from the start."

"This investigation is over at this point," Raskin added, per USA Today's Ken Tran. "There's really nothing left to pursue."
The impeachment inquiry was dealt a massive blow earlier this month when one of its star witnesses, longtime FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, was charged with lying to investigators about alleged multimillion-dollar bribes that President Joe Biden supposedly received from Ukrainian energy firm Burisma.
While the Republican inquiry has turned up some unseemly details about Hunter Biden's professional and personal lives, it has yet to find a direct link between his business dealings and his father.
