Gingrich On Russian Investigation: ‘The Fix Is In’
The Daily Caller ^ | 06/19/17 | Ted Goodman

Posted on 06/20/2017 5:48:56 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Former Republican Speaker Newt Gingrich is deeply concerned about Robert Mueller’s ability to lead a non-partisan, unbiased investigation, he said in an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller News Foundation

“The fix is in,” Gingrich told TheDCNF. “This is the establishment counter-attacking legally when they lost politically.”

Gingrich is specifically concerned about the fact that Mueller’s ex-law firm, WilmerHale, gave $326,798 to Hillary Clinton in the run up to the 2016 presidential election, compared to the $628 that the firm donated to Trump.

Robert Mueller, a distinguished attorney who served 12 years as FBI director under former president’s George W. Bush and Barack Obama, was appointed to serve as special counsel for the Department of Justice in its investigation of any links or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump.

Since his May 17 appointment by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Mueller has put together a team of lawyers including former prosecutor and WilmerHale partner Jeannie Rhee and former DOJ attorney Andrew Weissmann.

“I love this in terms of transparency, [Rhee’s] job was to defend the Clinton Foundation against Freedom of Information Acts,” Gingrich said. “I mean, you can’t make this stuff up.”

“Another one was repudiated by the Supreme Court, nine to zero in the Arthur Anderson case, where they said that said he had hidden evidence,” Gingrich asserted.

“The same guy did something similar in hiding evidence against Enron, and four people spent a year in jail who were innocent,” Gingrich said, likely referring to Weissmann.

Gingrich slammed Republicans for not doing enough. “Unfortunately, all too many Republicans are sleepwalking and pretending this is all okay,” he told TheDCNF.

Note the date of that article.

Flynn is way past that...

He offered to flip for immunity. It wasn’t granted at the time.

I suspect Flynn will flip given any chance to do so.

I keep telling people to look at who Mueller as hired to see where he plans to go with this investigation.

Weissman plays hardball.

Democrats show their way of love for freedom and law.

that is not a far fetched theory. It’s possible

Look at what Michael Cohen’s new lawyer said about Mueller. Now we have the new spokesperson for the Trump legal team who has said the same thing about Mueller.

It is hard for me to understand why this new guy was hired given his tweets. I keep thinking who he could be on FR. I am one candidate but it isn’t me. There aren’t very many here that have posted the same things he has posted on twitter. He doesn’t like Kushner. Thinks he is part of the swamp.

Of course, he may not even be on FR..

When is Trump going to have the Clintons indicted?
They are the ones who took $150 million and sold our uranium to the Russians who in turn will sell it to the Iranians.

Mueller is hiring Democrat operatives for his witch hunt.
Not a good sign of fair play.

It is all about continuing the 30 year bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders to change the demographic makeup of the country.

I think they are really trying to egg Trump on to fire them and end the investigation. They have nothing to investigate that would lead to any indictments against the Trump administration. What they really want is their Watergate 2.0 so they can impeach Trump and remove him from office.

The only way to counter this is to start charging/executing people for sedition/treason. That is the only way to drain this swamp...

“that is not a far fetched theory”

I’d like to think that many of our leaders would like the NeverTrumpers to get themselves calmed down and focused on something having to do with governing the country.

The left leaders can’t abandon their irrational followers so they can’t speak truthfully, but on the other had they want to move on from Trump hate.

These leaders want eventually to be able to something like, “boy we thought this guy was a crook, and maybe he still is, but the very thorough investigation has turned up nothing so we must direct our energies elsewhere”.

I hope the investigation will reveal crimes by Comey, Lynch, the Clintons, etc.

Unfortunately, all too many Republicans are compromised, thanks to NSA, CIA, FBI, etc. surveillance.

How many more crimes by the Clintons have to be revealed? They’re untouchable as far as I can see.

Newt is right! Trump has a choice, either fire the special prosecutor Mueller and deputy Rosenstein and let the crap hit the fan with the RATS and MSM or let the bastards draw articles of impeachment and destruction of his family. He’d better off firing the bastards.

Sorry, I, for one, am tired of this canard. EVERY step toward Socialism brings out the apologists on the right.

Govt is for the benefit of GOVT. Pure, plain and simple.

IMO, as much as DT is a non-politician, he has still upended the status-quo. As such, he *must* be removed by the benefactors of govt. IE: You won’t hear bumpkins from the (R) ‘leadership’; they’re too busy implementing their own flavor of Fascism.

EVERYONE who voted for President Trump needs to understand that they're not going to stop with his scalp if their coup is successful.

They're going to go after his people in government, and then they're going to go after us, like Zero went after the Tea Party people - with the IRS and other 3-letter agencies.

They'll use the voting lists from the last election, and will create a comprehensive database - if they haven't already.

We WILL be harassed and targeted.

And don't think that you'll be able to hide from the Retribution.

Plan accordingly.

There's a curtain on the voting booth for a reason.

If you don't tell anyone who you vote for then nobody will ever know.

American humorist Art Hoppe (1925-2000) wrote in the San Francisco (CA) Chronicle (reprinted in many other newspapers) in March 1962:
“Well, Washington is several miles square and about as tall, say, as the Washington Monument, give or take a little. It is surrounded on all four sides by reality.”
