Judicial Watch Statement on Boehner Resignation

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement regarding the resignation of House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-OH):

John Boehner’s willingness to fund rather than oppose Barack Obama’s lawlessness is a chief reason for his forced resignation from his position as speaker of the House. It is no small issue that, during Boehner’s tenure, Judicial Watch is widely acknowledged to have been performing the oversight that is the job of Congress. We’ve heard from many members of the House who are embarrassed that its committees and oversight have become a joke under Speaker Boehner. Judicial Watch has had more success investigating the IRS, Benghazi, and Clinton email scandals than any House committee under Boehner’s direction.

And the House simply could not stand for John Boehner to allow the funding of the very things he told the American people that House leadership opposed. Corruption in government grew under Speaker Boehner’s watch.

If you tried this in the private sector, announced you were going to work for the main competitor in a month, you’d be escorted out by security *immediately* while your boss cleans out your desk and kills all your electronic security and HR cuts your last check. All within 30 minutes.

Trump throws the first member of Congress out the 2nd story window.
Say what you want but if Trump wasn’t in the race, Bonehead wouldn’t be resigning.
The GOP-e isn’t really scared of Cruz...pissed but not scared.

Yep. They thought we would have no choice just like in 2012. The Trump factor stops the major money corruption in global warming, planned parenthood, the trade deal, Obamacare, amnesty, the EPA, the weaponization of the IRS against the American people, and much more. If I were Boehner I would be crying in my hanky too.

Boner is Roman Catholic and was so overcomed with emotion, he cried in the presence of the pope, but he won’t defund Planned Parenthood. Where are his tears for the murdered babies??? Glad he is going! Just hope his district elects a true conservative.
