Rep. Louis Gohmert, R-Texas, said Friday that he slammed FBI agent Peter Strzok about his infidelity with an FBI lawyer because he was tired of hearing Strzok lie to Congress.
"It wasn't the infidelity so much as it was his brazen ability to lie with a straight face," Gohmert said on WMAL radio Friday. "That's what really got to me."
Gohmert said other intelligence and law enforcement officials often see their security clearances revoked if they are found to be cheating on their spouses, because it may show a willingness to lie in other areas, and because they could be blackmailed to keep their secret from getting out.
In that way, Gohmert said he was more upset about Strzok's propensity to lie that had him upset, and less upset about what he was lying about, which was the affair he had.
"Where it really got to me was when he was lying, he knew he was lying, he knew I knew he was lying, and yet he had no qualms about it," Gohmert told WMAL.

It goes to credibility. It proves he has no problem lying to cover his own butt.
