Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) should have charged a two-drink minimum for his roasting of Donald Trump while he questioned Hunter Biden in the impeachment inquiry this week.

The congressman clearly wasn’t buying into House Republicans’ muddled efforts to prove that President Joe Biden illegally benefited from Hunter Biden’s business dealings when he was vice president.

So Swalwell had some fun with it in the closed-door deposition. He skewered the previous White House occupant for nepotism, reported profiting off foreign governments while in office, and business deals that a court ruled were shady ― and worthy of hundreds of millions in fines.

Here’s Swalwell’s exchange with Hunter Biden, according to the transcript released Thursday.

    As someone who absolutely loathes one party but is also severely disappointed with the other one, this part was my favorite, partially because it was unprompted 😁

    I don’t think that anyone in my family would be crazy enough to want to be the chairperson of the DNC.
