YOHO JOINS RESOLUTION TO IMPEACH ATTORNEY GENERAL

Congressman Ted S. Yoho (FL-03) joined Congressman Pete Olson (TX-22) in introducing Articles of Impeachment against US Attorney General Eric Holder.

Congressman Yoho said, “Impeachment proceedings are a safety valve our Founding Fathers granted Congress in the event that an official is so negligent in their duties that drastic action must be taken. It is unfortunate that it has come to that point for our Attorney General. He has repeatedly failed to enforce multiple laws, provided false testimony under oath regarding the investigation of journalist James Rosen, and has refused to comply with the investigation into Operation Fast and Furious—an operation that resulted in the death of American Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. The Attorney General’s blatant disregard for the law has brought us to this point. Officials should be held accountable to the citizens they serve and it is our duty to bring that accountability back to government. It is time we restore justice to the very department that shares its name.”
