For those without Twitter access - it's Newt Gingrich from May of 2017 saying "Robert Mueller is superb choice to be special counsel. His reputation is impeccable for honesty and integrity. Media should now calm down"

2. Now it's 12 recs and *I* am replying!

I think Newt should be given the proper accolades for his astute assessment of Mueller's work.

Frankly, I am surprised the he would say this. But he did.

Thank you, Newt Gingrich.

[NewJeffCT]

4. He's a Republican

I'm sure he's done a complete 180 on Mueller now. The tweet was May 2017

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. I'm sure he has too. But for that moment, he was correct about Mueller.

I thank him for that assessment and that moment. The rest of the time, I loathe him.

9. Gingrich knew Mueller was honest and fair

What he didn’t know was how goddamned guilty Trump was.

17. What the staff-banging, serial-adulterer Noot is saying now:

August 1, on Fox "news"

“I originally tweeted that I thought Mueller was a very respectable guy, and then I watched him hire these 17 lawyers that Trump is talking about, this is a disgraceful, one-sided witch hunt by a bunch of left-wing Democrats and it is compounded because we have learned since then about Comey, we’ve learned since then about [Andrew McCabe], we’ve learned since then about [Peter] Strzok. Every time we turn around we learn more things that indicate that the sickness in the Justice Department and the senior levels of the F.B.I. was very real.”

Yeah, now it's disgraceful left-wing Democrats. Sickness in the Justice Department. Calling Dr. Johnson!!

18. Particularly galling that the sickness was RW FBI agents in the NY office

who were able to strong-arm Comey into announcing the Weiner laptop emails.

Shameless. They're shameless.

6. Oh my......I see a talking point for all Dems having a hard race.

[Initech]

7. I never in a million years would think that I would agree with Newt Gingrich on anything...

But there is a first time for everything!

[gratuitous]

8. Don't sweat it

Newt probably doesn't agree with Newt anymore. So, you don't really agree with Newt.

[Initech]

10. Oh yeah he's a frothing at the mouth member of the MAGA cult now!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

11. ol' Moonbase is like a stopped clock?

Is this the only thing the Newt got right?

His twit should be used to bludgeon a few million Fox Disinformation Cultists. It would at least shut them up during the bludgeoning.


Thanks for posting, even if it did shatter my belief that Gingrich was totally useless.

[BigmanPigman]

12. L. Graham was saying the same thing a year ago.

He wanted Sessions to stay and to protect Mueller. Now he has done a 180 like the rest of the liars and hypocrite (aka the GOP).

15. Hoist by his own Tweetard.

16. Good one!

19. lets hope that keeps happening to Newt and Donny Dollhands
