Newt's prediction: It's 'all going to come crashing down'

Other than Saint Ronnie of the Trickle-down, there’s none in the bleak history of “modern” Republicanism more responsible for its turn to the politics of destruction than Newt Gingrich.

The false promises of his “Contract [On] America” aimed directly at the buttons of resentment, and his cynical instructions to R candidates on the use of inflammatory words to win elections have become the grist of their grift ever since. Even after (or maybe because of) being censured and disgraced, by a bipartisan 88 percent of U.S. House representatives for ethics violations as speaker, he enjoys favored status on Fox “news” and other purveyors of right-wing falsehood and lofty dudgeon (Moderate Voice: tinyurl.com/newtwords4u).

“[T]his is all going to come crashing down … they’re the ones who in fact, I think, face a real risk of jail for the kinds of laws they’re breaking … they’re running over people’s civil liberties. And what they need to understand is on (Jan. 4) next year, you’re going to have a Republican majority in the House and a Republican majority in the Senate. And all these people who have been so tough, and so mean, and so nasty are going to be delivered subpoenas for every document, every conversation, every tweet, every email.”

He chose not to enumerate the “laws they’re breaking,” nor was he asked to by his Foxian host. Because there is none. Because investigating a deadly attempt to overturn a fraud-free, certified election is what, among other protective actions, constitutional duty demands. It’s true, though, that laws are being broken as the panel does its work: Ignoring lawful subpoenas, Trump’s mobsters are refusing to cooperate, as Republicans and their media darlings rejoice in their scornful lawlessness. Hillary’s emails deserve eternal inquiry, but not organized sedition, pre-planned at the highest of levels of government. Gingrich wants Republicans to run on that.

2. The toad is correct, when the GOP gains a majority there will be a tit for tat retaliation.

I have no doubt there will be a many more attempts to impeach Biden it they gain the majority.

The whole "people are going to jail" is red meat for the fascist zombie base.
