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.

I wish the rest of the “Republicans” would come out fighting.
Gingrich is great; but where are the rest of them?
“gave $326,798 to Hillary Clinton compared to the $628 that the firm donated to Trump.”
No bias there.
The Democrats do this stuff all the time.
The Republicans are pretending that it doesn’t matter because it’s Trump. Remember this the next time a Republican establishment candidate wins the nomination and we’re told to get over it.
One thing I think they honestly believe is that if Jeb, Rubio or Kasich had won then the Democrats would be acting differently. It’s like they live on a fantasy world.
Of course, the fix is in. His team of lawyers are big DNC donors. It was fixed before snake in the grass Rosenstein got him is old office back.
The “Republicans” want Trump out as well. This is the last time we’ll have a President who is not approved by the Oligarchs.
More proof of the kabuki theater in D.C. The democrats go about asserting the power of the state over the American people, and the GOP pretends to oppose it, but really they are in it for their share of the power.
Mueller must know his “investigation” has already been discredited. It looks like an inquisition not an investigation... which IMHO will only harden Trump’s supporters. Seems so Captain Obvious... don’t it?
Are they tone deaf, or do they just not care? As usual the biggest disappointment are the GOP... are they cowards or complacent in hunting the witch?
Weissman took down a 20+ year mob boss of the Genovese family by flipping people
He got a Gambino family hit man to come out of hiding to put away the Genovese Boss.
A Senator claims he thinks Flynn has flipped.
It would be nice if he would flip Comey.
But they have been best buddies for decades.
A Senator claims he thinks Flynn has flipped.
Flynn is a total loose canon. Taking cash from Islamist Turkey and penning that op-ed on ELECTION DAY was just bizarre. Nothing would surprise me with him at this point.
“Mueller must know his “investigation” has already been discredited.”
So far Mueller hasn’t revealed any results of his investigation.
Here’s a far fetched theory: the investigation has to be orchestrated so it’s favorable to democrats, so when it finds nothing the democrats can’t claim it was stacked in Trump’s favor.
This will end up in the streets. The nation approved Trump. If this cabal of beltway globalist liver flukes take him out, a counterrevolution will ensue.
Flipped? Wasn’t Flynn cleared by the FBI months ago?

“Are they tone deaf, or do they just not care? As usual the biggest disappointment are the GOP... are they cowards or complacent in hunting the witch?”
They don’t care about you or me. They care about Trump in that he’s not one of them and he’s got a position of power else they wouldn’t care about him either.
It helps to think of them all as one big party that wants ever increasing power. Some want that power increased at 200MPH, some want it increased at 100MPH. They both oppose anyone who wants to grow any slower than that. They both VIOLENTLY oppose anyone who proposes any real cuts.
“the GOP pretends to oppose it, but really they are in it for their share of the power.”
Exactly right. This is why the original TEA Party was against Republicans as much as Democrats.
Why is it that Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz and Donna Brassiere are not being prosecuted for obstruction of justice for blocking the FBI from inspecting the DNC computer system for evidence of Russian tampering?
Why is it that Russian influence is only targeted at the winner, not the loser(s) Bernie and HillDog? Since the Russian canard was invented by the Dems, are they looking at evidence that is was just that - a made-up story as revenge for a lost election?
The above are rhetorical questions since the so-called investigation is a political hit job, not an objective investigation.
Unlike real semen on a real dress, we have imaginary urine on a dry Russian bed. But anti-Trumpers like McCain fell for the story.
They are betting on President Pence. They aren’t going to stick their neck out for Trump.
