Braley joins call for Gonzales impeachment investigation
U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Iowa, is joining with other Democrats to ask that an impeachment investigation be launched targeting Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
Braley joined Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Washington, and four others in co-sponsoring a bill that would direct the House Judiciary Committee to investigate whether Gonzales should be impeached for “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
At a Washington, D.C., news conference today, Braley said Gonzales had “lost his way.”
“He has forgotten why he became a lawyer, he has forgotten why he took that oath to support and defend the constitution,” he said. “It’s time that the American people had a leader in charge of the Department of Justice who reflected the values and beliefs of this country and what an independent judiciary means to everyone.”
