Gingrich on NPR going full Batshit on Mueller, Sessions and the DOJ.

[ehrnst]

The administration has sent out the attack dog.....to discredit Mueller and the DOJ. Observe the talking points that discredit the ENTIRE DOJ....

Reporter Rachel Martin points out the the AGs job isn't to protect the president, despite the president's claim that he wouldn't have appointed someone who would recuse themselves.

Newter responds that "the prosecutor on the World Trade Center Bombing says "over and over that there is no evidence of a crime," so Mueller is just "going on a fishing expedition,'

Martin point out "that's what an investigation is, you are pursuing questions..."

Newter cuts her off, "That's not true. You have"no reason" to appoint someone with the power of the government."

-Martin says that the "Justice Department decided that an investigation was warranted, and that included Sessions, and you're saying that the president thinks there shouldn't be an investigation - that is suspect. "

Then Newter says that 99.82% of the DOJ donated to HRC, including Muellers law firm, so they are all "anti-Trump" and they are "paid killers.

Martin says: Jeff Sessions is the leader of the Dept - he's Republican and he's not liberal at all.


Newter says that "No, he's not leader of the Dept, a "career DOJ employee is, and the culture is "very liberal and very anti- trump"

Martin says, "So you are suggesting that POTUS should hire an AG who would plant and insert an entire department full of Republicans? That seems to be against the whole raison d'etre of the department - which is to be above partisan politics.

Newter: "And if you believe that, you live in a fantasy land. If you do not believe that the DOJ has a deep cultural bias, and isn't anti-trump, you're just living in a fantasy land."


Newter says that Mueller hired a former Clinton Foundation lawyer that argued "against FOIA," and NPR should be opposed to that..."'

Bullshit on a stick -

When the reporter pointed out the Mueller is registered as a Republican, he brushed that off.

1. If they called newter, that's a good sign. They're running out of mouthpieces.

He lost McCain and 2 Repub senators, plus probably lost a few more....

Nowhere else to go.

[Achilleaze]

10. Yup. KGOP scraping the bottom of their cesspool again

no one of honor and intelligence believes a damn thing the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief claims anymore.

And his cadre of twisted propaganda comrades has also demonstrated deceit. So, time to recycle a republican liar and moral-values hypocrite from the past.

Newtie's ultra-thin "arguments" that we should ignore the ACTS OF WAR being waged against the USA by russia, are profoundly irresponsible and dangerous for America.

Not only all 17 US Intelligence Agencies agree that russia has, and is continuing, to maliciously mess with our US power grid, our nuclear power plants, and our electoral system, but also former republican VP Dick Cheney.

If we listen to Newtie and other republican Treasonweasels and their demands that we go all submissive and surrender to the WILL OF FEARLESS LEADER* we will as a nation be rudely f*cked over and suppressed for all time.

* republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, Comrade Casino, his republican Cabal of Colluding Comrades, and the frikken Kremlin.

2. I heard that this morning on my way to work

I guess these are going to be today's talking points.

But then again, Newt does have a somewhat vested interest in Trump.

3. The DOJ does have a cultural bias against Trump....

Newter: "And if you believe that, you live in a fantasy land. If you do not believe that the DOJ has a deep cultural bias, and isn't anti-trump, you're just living in a fantasy land."

The DOJ does have a cultural bias against Trump. It's called being a decent human being.

[The Blue Flower]

4. It's called a commitment to the rule of law

Newt knows it's all collapsing or he wouldn't be saying such stupid things.

[Adrahil]

8. hear! hear! NT

[ehrnst]

7. Yep. A culture of adherence to the rule of law is "anti-Trump." (nt)

5. I Know!

Man, I was listening to that. BTW Gingrich sounds about 90.

He went off on this typical rightwing fantasy about a liberal-left orgy running amok at DOJ. Because "97% of their campaign donations" went to Hillary Clinton. Gee, Newt, witch-hunt much? This is ostensibly a FREE COUNTRY and people are permitted to make any type of campaign donation they want. Beside, donating to Hillary in 2016 is hardly a signal that one is a life long liberal -- or even a lifelong Democrat. Lord knows there was plenty of bipartisan opposition to Trump last year.

Besides, I would imagine that to snag a position at the DOJ one would have to have a B.A. at a minimum, or probably a Master's. Not too many GED candidates could nail a job there, and we all know that higher education does skew left.

So Gingrich's theory about the DOJ being stacked with lefties is, pardon me, a big nothing burger. ANY collection of educated professionals would not be rife with Trump supporters.

6. Great evidence of how fricken worried they are!!!

You can ALWAYS tell when Republicans are flop sweating.

Them collars seem awfully tight these days.

[left-of-center2012]

9. Does Newt want to be the new A.G. ? n/t

[Girard442]

11. Attack dog?

More like an attack slug.

[elehhhhna]

12. That means he's dirty too

Remember a $50,000 open line of credit at Tiffany's? Or was it 500,000
