Full title: Gingrich suggests Nadler’s push to further probe Mueller report is an attempt to save his job in the House
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is suggesting Friday that Democrat Jerry Nadler’s push for a fully unredacted Mueller report -- and his insistence to get the Special Counsel to testify on Capitol Hill – are desperation moves in an effort to save his job as House Judiciary Committee Chairman.
The comments from Gingrich come as Democrats are still floating the possibility of trying to impeach Trump, despite Mueller in his report not finding any evidence of collusion with Russia and not reaching a verdict on the obstruction issue.
“Look at poor Jerry Nadler’s problem,” Gingrich said Friday on ‘Fox & Friends’. “The left wing of his party is going berserk, they all want to find a way to keep this up, his presidential candidates are going berserk.
“He can’t as Chairman, not look like he is doing something – or they will, frankly, take away his chairmanship,” Gingrich added. “And that’s the dance in the House right now.”

I’m all for getting Mueller up there on the stand. The republicans will make him look pretty foolish if he tries to insinuate that Trump did anything wrong.
Here’s the guy who held on to the result for months.
Here’s the guy who indicted Russians, then didn’t show up at the hearing when some tried to defend themselves.
Here’s the guy, who really found nothing, and based his investigation on the fake dossier.
Here’s the guy, who had an axe to grind against Trump.
Yes, get this POS up there and grill the crap out of him.
I agree...The Dems are not going to get anything from Mueller that isn’t already out there.
Like you say, the Republicans will rip him if he changes his story and will rip the Dems if they try intimidation on Mueller.
I agree...The Dems are not going to get anything from Mueller that isn’t already out there.
the bigger problem is how the MSM will weasel word anything that he says to favor a Trump must go narrative.
You can bet Mueller will have their pre planned questions in advance .
If the Nadler is foolish enough to call Mueller to testify, all Jim Jordan has to do is ask Mueller: “when did you determine Trump wasn’t colluding with the Russians?”
If Mueller testifies it was before the November mid-terms, the Dems will have some serious explaining to do since Mueller’s team was made up of partisan Democratic hacks.
I thought Nadler hates Trump going back a lot of years and this is a way for Nadler to get back at Trump. Lots of ‘fat boy’ comments and jokes by Trump.
The Democrats plan was to obstruct Pres. Trump from accomplishing anything significant during his first term but he has accomplished a lot in spite of that.
MAGA Bump!

Any more fully unredacted will result in the law being broken...but the Dems care not about the law or the Constitution which demands the particular laws they want to break....if they thought it would expose any of them they’d insist on a much more fully redacted document...never to be seen by the Public and to be burned before the redaction ink was dry...
Absolutely. In fact, I wish Trump would demand that he testify and make sure his is cross examined with no time limit.
You couldn’t be more correct in my view.
It’s evident that AG Barr is not going to give them the unredacted report though he’s stated he’ll give a less redacted report for some in Congress to view.
The Dems are acting like children throwing a tantrum because they know that’s all they’re going to get.
Is Gingrich so naïve as to think that the Democrat Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, regardless of who he is, wouldn’t be pushing for an unredacted copy of the Mueller report and for Mueller to appear before the committee? If so, then out of what? Sense of fair play? Respect for the Justice Department?
No.
It is a continued slow walking of the FISA investigation.
The more the DNC delays, the less chance it will be an issue in 2020
Yes, except every time a Republican asks a revealing question, democrat committee members, like a troop of apes going nuts and flinging poop, will try to go drown him out, screaming, “MR. CHAIRMAN!” “POINT OF ORDER!” , and the corrupt chairman will do nothing to quell the din. At least, that’s what they do in public hearings.
HE’ll easily skate over that question saying that he didn’t want to affect the election.
He should have had an inkling that there was no collusion early on.
Sessions recusal, really gummed things up.
Trump is damn lucky to have survived this.
Was thinking the Goehmert asked Strock what is wife thought of his infidelity. That was funny.
Do they still have Spittoons ?
Yep!
