Gohmert: Comey Obviously Was Not Loyal to Trump, the Law and the Constitution

‘That is where the political test and political bias comes in’

EXCERPT:

GOHMERT: "And so the political test is whether or not those biases that we all have will affect you as the one who has got to be the fair arbiter, the fair investigator, the one who is not going to skew the investigation. And by the way, when President Trump allegedly asked for Comey’s loyalty, his gut instincts were exactly right, and people who hate President Trump immediately assumed that he was asking him to violate the law. No. If you know Trump, what he is asking for is, 'Don’t violate the law to try to hurt me,' like Comey apparently did. He leaked information, a memo that he did on government time, with a government computer apparently, and about a government meeting. That, under his F.B.I. agreement, is F.B.I. material. He had no right. He violated the law. He violated his agreement. So, asking loyalty just means 'Don't violate the law, don't violate it to just try to screw me over,' like Comey did. And Comey obviously was not loyal to the President. He was not loyal to the law and the Constitution. That is where the political test and political bias comes in. Is it affecting your work? And if Wray had seen it, we needed to know about it. Because obviously it is affecting this investigation."
