WASHINGTON - Congressman Bill Johnson (R-Marietta) released the following statement after voting against the House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry vote:

“This political show-boat resolution does nothing to undo the previous five weeks of secretive meetings, selective leaks, and Soviet-style inquisition from Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and their cronies,” Bill Johnson said. “The American people are catching on to what’s been happening behind closed doors in the Capitol basement. Democrats aren’t interested in due process or anything resembling fairness. Their goal is to remove the President from office and disenfranchise the 63 million Americans who voted for the him, and they don’t really care how they do it.”

Bill Johnson added, “The American people deserve to hear the facts.  Yet, it’s hard to believe, under this resolution now even fewer Members of Congress will be permitted to participate in this fabricated investigation – which means even more information about this impeachment sham will be hidden from the American people. Other than voting to declare war, there is no more consequential action the U.S. House can take than the process to impeach the President.  This is nothing more than spite against President Trump, and what’s is going on in the Democrats’ secret bunker is a shameful embarrassment to our country.”
