Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) told Brietbart News Daily that now might be a good time for the Republican leadership to shut down the federal government, in protest of what he called “an imperial president” who will not “enforce criminal charges against a criminal.”
Issa was referring to the lack of charges filed against Hillary Clinton for her private email server.
Said Issa: “We should be willing to shut down the government if the president won’t limit his power.”
