The House on Thursday passed a resolution demanding that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein turn over all Justice Department and FBI documents requested by members of Congress investigating the FBI’s handling of the Trump-Russia investigation by July 7.

The vote was 226 to 183, with one Republican voting present. Although the resolution does not include any penalties, it is a victory and show of Republican solidarity for the lawmakers on the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees who have been battling Rosenstein for access to documents for months to no avail.

Republicans have threatened to impeach Rosenstein or hold him in contempt of Congress if he does not turn over the documents. The vote came as Rosenstein was testifying in the House Judiciary Committee. The resolution was spearheaded by Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Mark Meadows (R-NC), chairman of the Freedom Caucus.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) has backed GOP lawmakers in this fight, which has helped to pressure Rosenstein into providing more access to documents. However, he has also limited access to certain ones to just the Gang of Eight — which is compromised of top leaders of the House and Senate, and GOP and Democratic leaders of the House and Senate Intelligence Committee.

The GOP lawmakers are requesting access to documents regarding the FBI’s use of the unverified dossier to obtain a surveillance warrant on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, as well as its use of government informants to surveil the Trump campaign.

Earlier this year, law enforcement officials revealed to the New York Times and the Washington Post that an FBI and CIA government informant believed to be Stefan Halper had reached out to former Trump campaign advisers, including before the time the FBI said its investigation had begun.

The demand for documents has become even louder after the Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz released a report earlier this month that showed that embattled FBI agent Peter Strzok, who was the lead investigator on both the Clinton email and Trump-Russia investigations, had exchanged anti-Trump text messages that showed a “biased state of mind” and a “willingness to act.”

He had texted, “We’ll stop it,” when discussing Trump’s election with FBI lawyer Lisa Page, who he was having an extramarital affair with.

PS: A little research tells me that Justin Amash, Republican Representative for Michigan's 3rd congressional district, voted "PRESENT".

It's not the first time he has betrayed Republican causes.

1.
Amash was the only representative from Michigan to oppose federal aid in response to the Flint water crisis,
2.
He was one of four Republicans who joined 161 Democrats to oppose a Constitutional amendment that would require a yearly balanced budget,
3.
Amash opposed President Donald Trump's 2017 executive order to temporarily curtail Muslim immigration until better screening methods are devised.
4.
Amash is considered pro-life, and generally opposes abortion and the use of federal funding for abortion. While Amash opposes government funding for abortion, he voted "present", rather than "yes" or "no" on the 2011 Full Year Continuing Appropriations Act, which provided for the cessation of federal funding to Planned Parenthood. He explained, "Legislation that names a specific private organization to defund (rather than all organizations that engage in a particular activity) is improper and arguably unconstitutional".
5.
In 2016 Amash made headlines by joining the list of Republicans who opposed the GOP nominee for President, Donald Trump.
6.
On January 14, 2017, Trump sent out a series of tweets criticizing Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), one of the main leaders in the 1960s civil rights movement. Amash responded with a quick quip, "Dude, just stop."
7.
In April 2017 senior White House aide Dan Scavino tweeted that Amash was "a big liability" and urged followers to "defeat him in primary." Amash later referred to Trump as a "childish bully," saying that his attacks would be "constructive in the fifth grade. It may allow a child to get his way, but that's not how our government works."
8.
In June 2018 the Huffington Post asked House Republicans, "If the president pardoned himself, would they support impeachment?" Amash was the only Republican who said "definitively he would support impeachment..."
