When it comes to Hillary Clinton, U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert knows few bounds.

Gohmert, R-Tyler, declared that, if elected president on Nov. 8, Clinton will become the first American dictator because no one in her party believes in accountability.

“She can be a dictator because as we’ve seen already they circle the wagons," Gohmert said over the weekend on "Breitbart News Saturday. "They don’t care what kind of crime they’ve committed.

"Especially if it is a president. Hillary has a great chance to be a dictator if she’s the president," Gohmert said.

Gohmert also said Republican senators have done little to pressure President Barack Obama, but turn on a fellow Republican in the White House.

“If it’s a Democratic president, we’ve seen what they’ve done for nearly 8 years … whatever the Democrat wants, they (senators) let him get away with it,” Gohmert said.

In the 10-minute interview, Gohmert, who has a history of saying off-the-wall and fact-challenged things, spun a conspiracy about how FBI Director James Comey, a deputy director and Attorney General Loretta Lynch opted to not prosecute Clinton.

Gohmert said Comey, a registered Republican who also served under Republican President George W. Bush, had an "allegiance to the Democratic Party."

Comey announced in July that Clinton wouldn't be prosecuted for using an email server based at her home to conduct State Department business.

Comey said Friday that new emails had been found in an unrelated probe and were being reviewed, although he gave no indication of what might be in the emails or if any of it was related to classified information.

Gohmert credited the second announcement to career FBI agents pressuring Comey.

“Comey did everything he could to keep this from being a case,” Gohmert said.
