A House Judiciary Committee hearing erupted in bickering on Wednesday as lawmakers heard testimony from a pair of Justice Department whistleblowers and two former senior officials over allegations that the Trump administration has politicized the agency.
The fracas began as former Deputy Attorney General Donald Ayer was delivering an opening statement. As Ayer ran over his allotted five minutes, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) began making a tapping noise to drown him out.
Gohmert's behavior angered the Democrats on the committee and prompted one to call for the sergeant-at-arms to intervene.
"Mr. Chairman, I would ask that the sergeant-at-arms be called upon to stop the disruption of this meeting," Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) said. "I can’t hear this witness. This is a very important witness."
"Yeah, well he's way beyond his time," Gohmert shot back. "And if there are no rules about when people can talk, there are no rules about when you can make noise."

Hank must be under water over at the capsized Guam if he cannot hear what the guy is saying.
Anarchists don’t have any respect for rules
Good show....fing rats only want to make the rules....5 minutes and your done...Shut the F up.
No Nads Nadler, what a joke.
One of the few .... I love that guy ... Thank YOU, Texas!
Gohmert stands up to these powerful Dems .. I love it.
Louie Gohmert is just awesome!
I sure wish that would come up - so embarrassed he’s from Georgia.
Collins is a man here too. Go Doug.
The tap heard ‘round the world.
Let this be the start of push-back against Democrat left-wing totalitarianism.
The civil war has already started. The violence has started. So far we’re getting our asses kicked.
I hope he makes it to the Senate.
The Democrats had a hearing? No one will learn anything.

Let us control ourselves and see which way the election goes. ;)
“Yeah, well he’s way beyond his time,” Gohmert shot back. “And if there are no rules about when people can talk, there are no rules about when you can make noise.”
Rep. Gohmert is always good value and is willing to stand up to bullies. I enjoy following him.
I hope so too. Our governor appointed a super rich donor lady [loeffler] to the open seat - hence set up a nov 3rd contest with three candidates... the super rich donor lady, the democrat, and Collins.
If Collins doesn’t win outright on Nov 3, he will have to make the runoff by not losing Nov 3 AND having nobody win 50%+1... and then win the runoff to become our senator. The governor is not good here. An R but not good. IMO he’s corrupt. His appointing super rich donor lady instead of President Trump’s choice is curious to say the least. It has never been explained - only that it’s not ok to ask.
It seems to me that the governor did everything he could to make it hard on Collins. Just a hunch but i bet it was to discourage him from running against his super rich donor lady that he’d just appointed.
“It’s okay to hate democrats.”
