Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) accused FBI agent Peter Strzok of being liar in a verbal attack during a Thursday hearing, which escalated when Gohmert compared Strzok’s “smirk” in the hearing to “how many times did you look so innocent into your wife’s eye and lie to her.”

Strzok was testifying in front of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees, where Republicans peppered him with questions about anti-Donald Trump texts he sent to another FBI official, with whom he was having an affair.

Gohmert’s tirade prompted shouting from Democrats who accused the lawmaker of “intolerable harassment of a witness. “

“You need your medication!” one lawmaker shouted.

7. What gets me is the right not only creates phony conspiracy theories they then act on them as if

the conspiracies were true.

I have to be that all the negative karma being built up by the right will have to come crashing down on them at some point. I hope I live long enough to see it.

8. Louie Gohmert is a crackpot conspiracy theorist.

He is a kook anti-Vaxer, xenophobe, homophobe, anti-Muslim, Hillary server BenGahzi pizzeria believer.

9. He got so off the rails that the GOP chairman even cut him off later

complete and utter disgrace this was. He accuses him of things and then says "i didnt ask a question" to try to keep him from answering at the end. And after every answer he kept shooting back with stuff to the point the chairman had to cut both of them off.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. Goodlatte should have cut his fucking mic off

like Issa did to Cummings. But he wouldn't and let him go on and on.

11. About the same amount of times Donald did with Ivana and Marla?

12. Strzok's resting smirk face

Koo-Koo for coconuts.

15. I like the look on Strzok's face...

it just burns the weasley-minded crooks, and that he looks like he's really secure in that he knows waaaay more than the POS questioning him, maybe he knows that some of these assbites are also under investigation..?
