Congressman Says ‘Everyone Respects’ Mueller at FBI Hearing, Louie Gohmert Interrupts: ‘I Don’t’ (Mediaite)

As Congressman Steve Cohen (D-TN) complimented Robert Muellerand the sanctity of his investigation today, one of his colleagues decided to interrupt him with a negative aside.

Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein appeared before the House Judiciary Committee today, and he was asked to speak about Mueller’s track record from when he was head of the FBI. Rosenstein spoke positively of Mueller’s reputation and service, and told the congressman that he has not seen any sufficient reason to relieve Mueller as head of the special counsel.

Cohen agreed with Rosenstein’s assessment, and he began speaking about how “everybody respects that man in this country.” At that point, Louie Gohmert (R-TX) decided to interrupt and say “I didn’t, I don’t.”
