Hearing with FBI agent goes off the rails after GOP congressman asks how many times he lied to his wife about cheating on her
A congressional hearing devolved into chaos Thursday afternoon when Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas attacked FBI agent Peter Strzok over his extramarital affair with FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
While accusing Strzok of lying under oath, Gohmert said, "I can't help but wonder when I see you looking there with a little smirk, how many times did you look so innocently into your wife's eye and lied to her about Lisa Page?"
The House chamber quickly broke out into pandemonium, with fellow lawmakers shouting "Mr. chairman, this is outrageous!", "Shame on you!", and "This is intolerable harassment of a witness!" over each other.
Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, also of Texas, even yelled "You need your medication!" to rebuke Gohmert. Rep. Jarrod Nadler of New York then raised a point of order, accusing Gohmert of violating House rules by "impugning the character" of a testifying witness.

Today’s hearing offers some great soundbites for the November election.
There is no doubt he would kill with relish.
Cohen has oozed from the Memphis fen ...
Aren’t there different rules when an attorney is questioning a hostile witness
If there were such a rule, it is widely ignored. I doubt there is such a rule.
Bttt. Thanks.
Would not know that without your “hard” work...
LOL
Sterzok looks and acts like a car salesman in a crooked town. The Democrats present there acted like an equatorial tribe and had no human reason for their disruption.
Love the comment with the Twitter pics.
“The Dems sounded like someone threw Holy Water on them when Gomert asked the question.”
That smirk disappeared from his face fast, didn't it?
Here's another view of the snake reacting to the question
That smirk disappeared from his face fast, didn't it? LOL
Maybe is was the NJ AA Congresswoman and not SJ-Lee of Texas?
“As the hearing with FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok grew chaotic, Watson said to Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas: “Do you need your medication?” “
ick the thought of those two going at it is sickening
“Nadler thinks Gohmert impugned the character of Strzok?”
WHAT character
Very, very glad Gomert did this....Strozk was a PUNK and this was a punch in the face.
