GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert has an NSFW way of expressing his displeasure with Robert Mueller

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) has a funny way of showing he wants to hear from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Mueller agreed last week to testify before the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees, responding to a subpoena from the chamber's Democrats. Republicans, including Gohmert, also say they're also looking forward to hearing from the former FBI director — though seemingly with much more hostile intentions, Politico reports.

Democrats originally subpoenaed Mueller to hear more about the underlying evidence in his probe of President Trump's 2016 campaign, with some party members potentially hoping to gain reason to impeach Trump. But Gohmert, an ally of Trump's on the judiciary committee, meanwhile told Politico that Mueller's probe caused some "irreparable damage to some things" and that Mueller has to "answer for them." To put it another way, the whole report "reinforced the anal opening that I believe Mueller to be," Gohmert told Politico.

Meanwhile, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) has some less anatomically explicit issues with Mueller, telling Politico he'd like to ask Mueller "when did you first know there was no conspiracy, coordination, or collusion" between Russia and the Trump campaign, and if Mueller "intentionally wait[ed] until after 2018 midterms" to drop his report. Of course, Mueller's report didn't fully rule out any of those things.
