https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...pc=U531&cvid=1e827f9239124d519b806d5905383728Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert, of Texas, said Friday that the Peter Navarro indictment points to "a two-tiered justice system."
"If you're a Republican, you can't even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent or they're coming after you," Gohmert said during a Newsmax appearance.
Title 18 U.S. Code § 1001 maintains that lying to "the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States" is a felony. The code does not mention a political party.
"They're gonna bury you. They're gonna put you in the DC jail and terrorize you and torture you," the Texas official went on.
