If you’re impeached by the House, the famous question is, ‘Where do you go to get your reputation back?’ is the question,” Issa said at Fox News Digital. “And that’s sort of a problem that we’re facing, which is the president has been wrongly accused, the evidence is now out that there was withheld information and false information, but where do we go to ring that bell?
