Gohmert: ‘Round Up’ All ‘Conspirators’ Who Saw Comey Memo


Gohmert said the Comey testimony revealed an attempt to manipulate the election, but this time it wasn’t the Russians. He noted the conversation between former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Comey about the Clinton email investigation.

At best, it was an attempt to manipulate the election, not by the Russians in this case, but by the Department of Justice – the Attorney General herself – cause that came from Comey.”

The Texas congressman accused Comey of lying in his testimony about possible obstruction of justice by President Trump.

I believe I heard him say he did the memo [about possible obstruction of justice] then he talked with some of his colleagues,” Gohmert insisted to Fox News host Julie Banderas. “We need to round up everybody he talked to because they were all conspiring against the president and all conspiring against their oath of office, conspiring against their own employment agreement.”

In discussing the news that Lynch wanted Comey to refer to the Clinton email probe as a “matter” instead of an “investigation,” Gohmert wondered why Comey wrote no memo about that encounter.

[Comey] totally ruined his own credibility – or what was left of it. He did vast damage and raised big red flags and questions over Loretta Lynch’s job as head of the Justice Department. [Lynch] was using her official position to help the campaign of Hillary Clinton and that didn’t seem to bother him enough to do a memo.”

Gohmert believes that entire matter should be the focus of a congressional investigation. He reinforced the idea that there should be a house cleaning at the DOJ.

We need to round up all those people [Comey] talked to – because we have a conspiracy remaining afoot in the Department of Justice that is going to be out to destroy this president and they’ve got to be fired if not worse.”

Since President Trump took office in January, Louis Gohmert has been one of his staunchest supporters in the Congress. If President Trump is to succeed in his presidency, he clearly will need more leaders like Gohmert to step forward and stand up for him.
