About
Louie Gohmert's Uranium One Chart refers to a chart presented by Texas republican congressman Louie Gohmert during Jeff Sessions' hearing before the House Judiciary Committee about the ongoing Russiagate investigation that attempted to demonstrate how the Uranium One conspiracy theory was worthy of scrutiny and that special counsel Robert Mueller should be removed from the Russiagate investigation as he was the director of the FBI during the Uranium One deal. The chart was turned into an exploitable and was joked about in photoshopped edits on Twitter.
