“I think we have a responsibility to follow the truth, where it leads,” Johnson said. “To do effectively the opposite of what that other team did — they were engaged in a partisan political plot to take down their foe in the other party.

Johnson expressed no sympathy for Obama potentially being dragged into a criminal investigation.
