Newt Gingrich Says Jan. 6 Committee May Face Criminal Prosecution After Midterms
Newt Gingrich says January 6 investigators 'face real risk of jail' if GOP wins Congress
Former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said Sunday that officials investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot could be jailed if the GOP regains control of Congress in the midterm election.
The remark drew rebuke and mockery from the two House Republicans who sit on the committee investigating the riot, Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinios.
Gingrich, a former Georgia congressman who served as speaker until 1999, called the investigation into the riot of former President Donald Trump’s supporters a “lynch mob” during the Fox News program "Sunday Morning Futures."
After saying Attorney General Merrick Garland and the nine-member committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot are “running over people’s civil liberties,” Gingrich accused them of breaking unspecified laws in response to a question from host Maria Bartiromo about an op-ed he wrote for Newsweek.
If Republicans win a majority in Congress this year, Gingrich said, “all these people who have been so tough and so mean and so nasty are going to be delivered subpoenas” for their communications.
“I think when you have a Republican Congress, this is all going to come crashing down and the wolves are going to find that they are now sheep, and they’re the ones who are in fact I think going to face a real risk of jail for the kinds of laws they’re breaking.”
Original Content: Democrat leaders all belong in jail for manipulating and trivializing the most serous organs of government just to gain political point. The impeachments were pure bullshit from the get go, and there was no insurrection. It was just a protest.
