Newt Gingrich on Monday night said Joe Biden should be authorized to 'order the killings of anybody overseas' who was found to be behind attacks on America's infrastructure, describing the cyberhack of the Colonial Pipeline as 'an act of war'.
Gas shortages were beginning to be reported across the East Coast on Monday evening, as the pipeline was slowly brought back on line after a four-day shutdown.
Hackers from DarkSide, a Russia-based network of cybercriminals, were said by the FBI to be behind the ransomware attack. On Monday they said they were mistaken to cause 'societal consequences', and only sought money. They said they would not target critical infrastructure again, and wanted no part in any geopolitical battles.
But Gingrich said that the United States needed more power to go after those responsible.
'On the national security part, we ought to pass a law immediately that makes this kind of hacking subject to a death penalty and the law should include a provision that the president, through a judicial process, should be able to order the killings of anybody overseas who is doing this,' he told Sean Hannity on Fox News.
'It's an act of war against the United States to do stuff like this.
'We need to react to it as an act of war, and the American people are going to look at their representatives and their senators and say, if you don't fix this, your successor will. I won't put up with it, and I won't put up with you if you don't fix it.'
Gingrich, 77, the former Speaker of the House, said it was pitiful that the U.S. was falling prey to such attacks.

Kind of hard to order a killing on people who work for you. LOL
Not for Hillary
Now that is true.
And, as an added bonus, on the east coast folks will be "safer at home" on Memorial Day weekend instead of flocking to the COVID cootie infested beaches.

Newt admitted a long time ago that was a mistake. It slays me how some people won’t forgive someone who made one (in this case) relatively harmless mistake. Geez, what more do you want?
Bill Maher now admits Russiagate was 'reported erroneously' after years of pushing Trump collusion narrative! 'We, like, thought that it had to be more of a conspiracy,' Maher said!

Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia!
So Who was/is still being paid to make up this Russia! Russia! Crap, to forget the ChiComs!
It still is not: Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia!Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia!Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia!
Russia’s GDP is smaller than Texas.” Do not give your adversaries more power than they actually have!”
Back when Russia was run by godless communist genocidal maniacs, the Left loved them. Now that it’s perceived that they are now a Christian country, the Left loathes Russia.
It still isn’t: Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia!Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia!Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia!
Israel should know the coordinates of John Kerry.
Tell the FIBs that the cyberhackers were tying garage door pulldown ropes to look like nooses (but only to loons) and they’ll spring into action.
Mebbe Bob Mueller can indict a few more Rooskies.
Tell the FIBs that the crime was peretrated by White Russians and it’ll be all hands on deck.
The problem is that the air gap is between the ears (pipeline people, Feds), not between the pipeline controls and the internet.
REDUNDANCY ALERT!!!!!
be cool if they would blow Ketchup 1 out of the sky
How about the political hack who killed the keystone pipeline? What should happen to that guy?
Biden is ready to take decisive action: an executive order to seize tanker trucks to move gas to BLM “protests” (mostly peaceful, of course) so they won’t run short on Molotov cocktails.
Eventually they will blame it on dark web domestic terrorists.
You know, Trump supporters.
“Geez, what more do you want?”
Seppuku works for me.

First. somebody will need to explain what just happened to Joe. That will probably be Kamalas thankless job.
“let’s not forget JFK killing Diem in Vietnam and trying to kill Castro, who got him first.”
Also, JFK poed the FBI and CIA.
Who had the most to gain with JFK”s death?
Think 3 letters.
Maybe hackers are in line for some kind of major medal for helping to usher in the green new (disaster) deal?
The problem is, if the FBI/CIA, or other alphabet Deep State organization went after the ‘bad guys’, would I trust that they got the right ‘bad guys’? Nope.
“Maybe if the CIA and NSA actually looked for foreign threats rather than spying on Americans, we might have something to work with.”
As per their charter’s/foundations/rules/guidelines and the limits of their scope of action.
