Congressman: Time for special prosecutors

Garth Kant - WND.com Exclusive

Rep. Louis Gohmert, R-Texas, is calling for a special prosecutor look into the Obama administration's involvement in several scandals making national headlines.

Gohmert, a candid lawmaker who doesn't mince words, has been in the spotlight recently for speaking boldly about the scandals in Washington.

On May 15, Gohmert got into a heated exchange with Attorney General Eric Holder during a House Judiciary Committee hearing. When Holder challenged the congressman's truthfulness, Gohmert shot back, "You point out one thing that I said that was not true."

The attorney general replied, "I know what the FBI did. You cannot know what I know," but he didn't cite any inaccuracies by Gohmert.

The next day at a Capitol Hill news conference in which tea-party members described abuse by the IRS, Gohmert implied the president is a tyrant.

The congressman thundered, "If the AP story has taught anything it should be, to the media, that when there is a tyrannical despot, the media will be one of the early victims – you will be used as helpful savants for awhile, and then when you're no longer needed, you will be pressured and put out of business as well." (See the video below.)

WND asked Gohmert what Congress should be doing about the Obama scandals, beginning with abuses at the Justice Department.

"We've already found the attorney general in contempt, and that did nothing," he said. "We have all kinds of issues we've asked the Justice Department about and they are not providing any answers.

"So, unless we have legislation that creates a special prosecutor to deal with an attorney general who is in contempt of Congress and who will not address the issues he's created, we won't get to the bottom of it."
