Newt Gingrich just threatened the members of the January 6 committee with jail time
As the House's January 6 committee continues its work to get to the bottom of what happened before, during and after the riot at the US Capitol, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has a warning for them: If Republicans take over the House, you could well be arrested.
Yes, really.
"I think when you have a Republican Congress, this is all going to come crashing down," Gingrich told Fox's Maria Bartiromo. "And the wolves are going to find out that they're now sheep and they're the ones who are in fact, I think, face a real risk of jail for the kinds of laws they're breaking."
Which raises a simple question: What laws does Gingrich believe the members of the committee -- which includes two Republican House members -- are violating exactly?
It will surprise you not at all that a) Gingrich didn't say and b) Bartiromo didn't ask. (What did she say? "Well, this is such great analysis."
