Threatening to arrest people who are innocent of crime, and investigating and allowing the biggest crimes to go unpunished. That’s what we’re dealing with in the Republican Party. He is acting like Ken Starr never happened. My sister-in-law’s sister was helping write Hillary’s book and she was subpoenaed and had to hire a lawyer. She’s as law-abiding as they come

you should 'go to jail' for doing your sworn duty, but it's OK to 'cheat on your wife' while she's on her death bed with cancer?

This is sNewt-spew afterall. He was this way as a child. I saw a documentary about his background where his mother was interviewed at length. Even she was horrified at what a pos/asshole he was from an early age, she went up to but did not actually say he was evil. His own mother.

Seriously, I'm glad she survived - and it has to be 'interesting' to be Newt knowing that she's still around and the thought of how he treated her should just rot out his stomach........

Oh, wait! We're talking about NEWT!!!!!

Look up "POND SCUM" on-line and you should see a picture of him.

how the GOP of Lincoln became the racist, corrupt, self-serving, batshit crazy, do-nothing, obstructionist, power-grabbing, lawless, coup-plotting GQP of TFG needs to take a good hard look at this clown.

I bet that the J6'ers will have their shit together. They'll bring receipts, official transcripts, notes, etc. It will just turn into a fishing expedition where they all put on that bored face Hillary did when she testified for 11 hours straight because republicans don't know how to govern, and more than any previous bunch of republicans, they don't want to know how to govern because government is the enemy, and they're just going to waste time and make themselves look stupid. And if republicans do take over congress, that will be the best case scenario - they're wasting time and accomplishing nothing.

We keep making the mistake in belief that there would be a democracy, with its protections of due process, if Republicans take over.

except in cases of treason, felony, or breach of peace. The speech and debate clause protects them when doing their jobs, which is all the committee is doing. Newt is full of it again.

The last thing I need is to work up a head of steam over the great pile of sh*t that is Newt Gingrich but — what kind of imbecile falls for this insanity? Lynch mob?! The most corrupt mfers in American history are manipulating fools into believing they’re victims at the hands of a democratic lynch mob? Out-freakin-rageous. It’s a nation of idiots.

If the Republicans take control we’ll see level of totalitarianism most can’t imagine at this point. If I was Rachel or Joy or Ari and many, many others, I d keep a go bag packed.

Not possible here, you say? Would you have said an attack on the Capital was in the cards two years ago?

A former Speaker of the House is threatening jail time for members of Congress who are investigating the violent January 6 attack on our Capitol and our Constitution.

This is what it looks like when the rule of law unravels.

You would think he would know that Congress doesn't arrest, try and convict people. So even if the repubs control Congress after 2022, there isn't any way that they can cause members of the Committee to be sent to jail.

J6 was a failed coup. Of course our leaders will be rounded up and "tried" on literally Trumped up charges if the Republicans regain power. They already tried to overthrow the government, and you know the old saying, if at first you don't succeed...
