Issa: GOP needs to 'back off' Clinton impeachment threats

Republican Rep. Darrell Issa said lawmakers should “back off” of impeachment threats against Hillary Clinton if she is elected president.

“OK, I’m gonna say, be the adult in the room and say, ‘Calm down, back off, it’s not gonna happen,'” Issa, R-Calif., said during a Wednesday radio interview. “The fact is, we have impeached and removed from office nine federal judges in our history, no members of the executive branch, not a president, not a vice president, not a cabinet officer, so floating that word is usually a fairly reckless thing.”
