GeorgiaDon 340 #79 January 24, 2022 Newt Gingrich is largely responsible for everything that is wrong about Congress and the Republican Party IMO. Even if he didn't start some of the pathology, he gave it a huge shot of steroids. He is a perfect example of the class of politicians who will pursue any course of action, no matter how destructive to the country, to secure his own power, again in my opinion. Trump would probably not have happened if Gingrich hadn't already degraded what used to be the Republican party so thoroughly. He orchestrated the Clinton impeachment, built around Clinton's (exceedingly ill-advised) affair with Lewinsky at the same time he was shagging his own mistress, which illustrates the degree of shameless hypocrisy he is effortlessly capable of. I would not waste piss on him if he was on fire. He is, to my mind, evil incarnate. If I had more time I'd tell you what I really think of him! 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,047 #83 February 6, 2022 Hi folks, Donald Trump received bad legal advice from advisers who “were basically snake oil salesmen,” Trump was advised by 'snake oil salesmen,' former Pence chief of staff says - POLITICO IMO Marc Short has it wrong: The true snake oil salesman is Trump himself. He needs no assistance in that area. Jerry Baumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeorgiaDon 340 #87 February 15, 2022 If he has negotiated immunity in exchange for his testimony it might be a good deal for him. I realize the Jan 6 panel cannot charge anyone with a crime, but he could negotiate a deal where his testimony can't be used against him, and then use that cooperation to argue for leniency, or try the Bill Cosby strategy of using the deal to get charges dismissed.
