Republican Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert believes government personnel working for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein are spying on his office, he told WMAL’s “Morning on the Mall” Friday.
“I don’t doubt for a minute that he has people who have been looking into my background. I’ve been told as much by some other folks,” Gohmert told WMAL host and Daily Caller editorial director Vince Coglianese.
Gohmert continued, “I’ve had people who work for the government saying they know everybody that comes in your office.”
The congressman caveated that he did not believe any such operation was overseen by Rosenstein personally but that it was people who worked for him. “There’s always deniability,” he said.
Gohmert’s comments came after Rosenstein’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee Thursday, where he was repeatedly pressed on his role in renewing the FISA warrant on former Trump staffer Carter Page.
A spokesman from the Department of Justice did not respond to a request for comment.

This pervasive domestic spying will be the death of America if we don’t stop it hard, like brick wall hard. This SOB Rosenstein should be fired and prosecuted. The FBI has become nothing more than America’s Stasi. Spying on government officials is utterly banana republic. If they’ll do that is the entity charged with his oversight, what will he do to regular citizens?
Asking or expecting RR to give up anything absent force, is akin to begging the Chief of Police, who just robbed the bank and brought the goods home, to allow detectives to search his house. Ain’t happening.
Thing is...everybody knows RR is dirty. And, anyone with an IQ above 10 knows he is dirty and is (and has been for 2 years) doing everything necessary to try and save his hide. RR is a dangerous cornered out of control mob boss with way too much legal power. Put nothing past him.
Louie needs to put a tail on RR and bug his office.

I think I read somewhere that there is a law against surveillance of federal officials. That’s just a vague recollection, however.
If PDJT tells Rosenstein to stop, will he get impeached?
RR is so arrogant, I can see him doing it, and thinking he could get away with it. He's got that Jim Comey attitude about him. Must have killed him to write Comey's termination letter.
“Louie Gohmert is a certifiable paranoid loon.”
Guess it’s never to drink and drug. SMH.
I’m certain that he is.
