Newt Gingrich appeared with Sean Hannity tonight and went on a tear against special counsel Robert Mueller for, as he put it, trying to destroy President Donald Trump. Both Hannity and Gingrich were set off by the Michael Flynn sentencing memo that became public last night. Hannity repeatedly expressed how offended he is that Mueller is going after someone with Flynns record for a process crime.
Gingrich told him, Mueller is not involved in a investigation. Mueller has a Trump destruction project. He brought on a team, all of them dedicated to destroying Trump. They have done everything they could to destroy Trump.
He remarked that the Mueller investigation will be looked back on by historians as one of the most extraordinary efforts to undo the will of the American people by an established bureaucracy and its establishment friends that weve seen in all of American history.
After Hannity brought up a piece by The Hills John Solomon on an FBI email chain reportedly showing FISA abuse, Gingrich said, You had the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation actively trying to destroy a presidential candidate. You have the former head of the FBI, Bob Mueller, actively trying to destroy the President of the United States. And I know its frustrating but the fact is, this is a clear cut drama. They hate him, they want to destroy him, it has nothing to do with the truth and nothing to do with the law.

(160,524 posts)He does, after all, have an atrocious reputation with just the superficial things the public has heard about him. Undoubtedly he's got history far worse, even.
He would be eminently blackmail-able, no doubt.
That he would speak out now, when the situation is so wildly clear, indicates he's completely irrational, or is being forced to do it.
He has been a dirty pig, however, since the Clinton days, when he was conducting a hideous personal life, while savaging Bill Clinton for his relationship with Monica.
What a pervert. Only Trump lovers would even consider listening to him.

(62,521 posts)The poor showing by Republicans in the 1998 Congressional elections, a reprimand from the House for Gingrich's ethics violation, pressure from Republican colleagues, and revelations of an extramarital affair with a congressional employee 23 years his junior resulted in Gingrich's resignation from the speakership on November 6, 1998.[4][5] He resigned altogether from the House on January 3, 1999.
Political scientists have widely credited Gingrich with playing a key role in undermining democratic norms in the United States, and hastening political polarization and partisan prejudice.[6][7][8][9]

(161 posts)Is this the guy who was stepping out with his 20 something Jr Staffer 23 years younger ( younger than his first daughter and the same age as his second daughter from wife #1) while leading the charge against Bill Clintons own affair. The now third wife representing the US to the Pope at the Vatican. As a Catholic this is disgusting.

(65,000 posts)And, i don't think he knows what "will of the people" means. Around 10 million more people voted for anybody else except him.
10 million is a big delta between the votes one got and the votes one did not.
Oh, and Newt is a moron.

Robert Mueller is superb choice to be special counsel. His reputation is impeccable for honesty and integrity. Media should now calm down
