Congressman Says 'Everyone Respects' Mueller at FBI Hearing, Louie Gohmert Interrupts: 'I Don't'

Congressman Says ‘Everyone Respects’ Mueller at FBI Hearing, Louie Gohmert Interrupts: ‘I Don’t’

by Ken Meyer | 12:12 pm, December 13th, 2017

As Congressman Steve Cohen (D-TN) complimented Robert Mueller and the sanctity of his investigation today, one of his colleagues decided to interrupt him with a negative aside.

Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein appeared before the House Judiciary Committee today, and he was asked to speak about Mueller’s track record from when he was head of the FBI. Rosenstein spoke positively of Mueller’s reputation and service, and told the congressman that he has not seen any sufficient reason to relieve Mueller as head of the special counsel.

Cohen agreed with Rosenstein’s assessment, and he began speaking about how “everybody respects that man in this country.” At that point, Louie Gohmert (R-TX) decided to interrupt and say “I didn’t, I don’t.”

Cohen dryly noted “obviously, we knew that would be an exception,” and he continued that Republicans only started complaining about Mueller once he started investigating Trump.

And when it does, there will be very few people who will have any pity for him...

I am convinced he is being paid and is compromised and in the pocket of many...and who knows what little secrets he has or what his private time has hidden....

I keep hearing about how Texas is trending purple or going blue, but that trend seems to be taking a helluva long time. Louie Gohmert should be running scared in 2018, and Democrats need to find a decent candidate to run against him. That candidate will need cash and spend some of it on making sure every eligible voter in the district is registered. Then get those people to the polls on Nov. 6, and leave Gohmert to concentrate on the next chapter in his sad life.

The Party will really need to lean into that race to support the registration and gotv effort.

The Texas 1st could be a challenge but it's only one district and not the whole state.

I know we'd contribute to the Dem candidate to help forklift LG out of the seat.
Actually, I'd like to see them fling him from the House with a trebuchet.

" . . . and we'll, as usual, dryly and deservedly ignore that tax-fattened motherfucker until the 1st District of Texas comes to their goddamned senses."

"Also, let the record show that said representative can be seated at a mountain of dicks for consumption. Thank you and God Bless Antarctica."

Aspersions on Gohmert's asparagus! LOL. Every time I hear the man's name I remember that exchange with Eric Holder. And the way Holder tossed it back at him later.

Gohmert is hopelessly dense. And as inarticulate as the Trumpster. Peas in a pod (to keep with the veggie reference).

You're the one person who doesn't respect Mueller. You're the only one that respects you.
