He is truly a moron.

(1,967 posts)So hilarious and yet so true! Gohmert has got to be one of the stupidest members of Congress.
And poor Louie is triggered by the fact that you can't even tell a good lie anymore without getting into trouble.

(13,871 posts)That makes it a crime to knowingly lie to the FBI. And it carries potentially more jail time than
Perjury or other offenses.

Caliman73
(11,738 posts)Doesn't seem to know how trials work even though he was a judge for a decade.
The prosecution got a chance to present a case against Sussman but did not meet the standard to achieve a guilty verdict.
There actually is a two tier justice system in the US, but not for Republicans and Democrats. The two tiers are, if you are Rich, you can delay and escape justice on technicalities. If you are poor, not even being innocent keeps you out of prison.

(9,020 posts)Was the last thing spoken on that clip. So, Newsmax, ya'll are good with lying to the FBI and Congress, too, like Louie Gohmert is?
Sussman gets acquitted but Gomer is convinced he was guilty.
What a malevolent idiot Gomer is. I'm embarrassed to say that I was born in the district he now represents, and so many of the people that live there just love Louie.
