...not sure of what but his finger prints must be all over something the 1/6 Committee is investigating...
...to think those words came from the mouth of a former Speaker of the House, third in line to be President...
...shows you what we're living with...

(107,973 posts)Representative Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican, responded with a warning after prominent Republican Newt Gingrich suggested that members of the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack against the U.S. Capitol could face jail time if the GOP returns to power.
-snip-
Cheney, a staunch Trump critic, serves as the vice-chair of the House select committee investigating the January 6 violence. She tweeted a response to Gingrich's threat later on Sunday.
"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," the Wyoming Republican wrote. "This is what it looks like when the rule of law unravels."

Representative Adam Kinzinger, an Illinois Republican who also serves on the House select committee, tweeted a GIF of deceased actor Chris Farley driving a bus full of children in the 1995 film Billy Madison in response to Gingrich's remarks. Kinzinger and Cheney are the only two GOP lawmakers serving in the congressional committee.

(5,443 posts)The 1/6 committee is investigating criminal activity including sedition by the President and his colleagues. Newt is trying to pin the same on the committee itself-- the old "not me, you" ploy.

(21,565 posts)if he has evidence and information that the jan 6 committee is committing crimes, as a citizen and taxpayer i feel it necessary to hear what that is. subpoena him and ask him to present his evidence of crimes committed and what penal code was violated.
