“It actually puts an exclamation point on the fact that we have a two-tiered justice system. If you’re a Republican, you can’t even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent or they’re coming after you. They’re gonna bury you, they’re gonna put in a DC jail and terrorize you and torture you and not live up to the Constitution.” – Loony Louie Gohmert, responding to Peter Navarro being charged with contempt of Congress. Gohmert later agrees with a Newsmax host that it’s “no big deal to lie to the FBI.” Watch the clip.
