Gingrich: I Fully Expect AG Garland To Indict Trump, The Most Corrupt Justice Department In American History
Real Clear Politics ^ | September 1st, 2022 | Tyler Stone

Posted on 09/01/2022 10:32:52 AM PDT by Mariner

Wednesday night on FOX News, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich predicted that former President Donald Trump will be indicted for mishandling classified documents at his Florida home after he left the White House.

Gingrich called this the "most corrupt Justice Department in all of American history."

"You have corruption from the Attorney General, to the head of the FBI, to senior elements of the FBI," he said. "You have collusion from a wide range of the intelligence community. You had, I think it was 50 some intelligence senior officials who signed a letter last year that we now know is a total lie, none of whom have recanted."

"I fully expect the Justice Department to indict President Trump in a DC court, a district where he got 5.6 percent of the vote. So by 19 to one, the jury is likely to be against him."

"I have no idea what's going to happen next," he explained. "I'm a historian by training and I tell everybody you have to assume that nothing, you know, tells you anything about how corrupt and how sick this is going to get.

No idea and that is why it was discounted, but several days later when the raid took place, I recalled that post.

LOL! Yes! I saw Graham instead of Gingrich. 🤦‍♂️

Though to be fair, I don’t care much for Gingrich either.

I think so too. He may go off script like the fraudelent election comment because of his dementia and come out and say it too...When we arrest Trump do not riot. Of course it is fine for antifa to riot in maga gear in fact it may be their call to arms.

Wow, they are so nervy that I really think they are psychologically impaired. Sick and evil barely covers it. This kind of mindset is prone to making huge, reckless errors. I hope Trump and his legal team (and family) are ready to jump on any mistakes they make because they will make some and, if caught quickly, could derail their psycho plans.

Here is another strange coincidence. The raid on Mar-a-lago took place on August 8th, the mid-terms are November 8th. Almost like there was a plan to do it “90 days before” the mid terms.

LOL...Well, The SCOTUS will surely be involved if a Trump indictment runs its full course. DJT could well be re-elected before then. Especially if conditions in America continue down into the pit Joe and the Rats have dug.

Trump trusted the wrong people. He thought we lived in a Free Country. He didn’t know how deep the corruption was. He has learned a great deal—a lot of it The Hard Way. He should have formed his own Party and let the Vichy Republican’s hang out to dry. Next he should be ready to act—lawyer up and be ready with A, B, C plans. But, its getting close to Bonny Blue Flag Time.

Well maybe 89. Because you know the old rule about not bringing criminal or other charges 90 days before an election. They were just trying to honor that tradition ; )

Could be... In February, Archivist David Ferriero was informing Congress and DOJ that Trump had taken classified material from the White House. So, this run at Trump has been in the works for a while.

“It is truly appropriate that while the act accuses him, the result excuses him, and when the result is good, like that of Romulus, it will always excuse him, because one should reproach a man who is violent in order to ruin things, not one who is so in order to set them aright.”

Agree they have a lot to keep covered up things about to change a lot of heat in D.C. now.

In many ways, Mitch McConnell has acted like a douchebag, but his preventing Merrick Garland from getting on the U.S. Supreme Court covers a lot of sins in my book.

Re:A dictator will emerge who will sweep out filthy corruption and make the trains run on time.

Wasn't that the story of Cincinnatus??? Model of an honest politiciuan??? He was drafted to temporarily lead Rome when Rome was in dire straits.

Cincinnatus, who lived around 519–430 BC, was a farmer, statesman, and military leader who lived in early Rome. He considered himself a farmer above all, but when he was called to serve his country, he did so well, efficiently, and without question, even though a prolonged absence from his farm could mean starvation for his family.

After he straightened out the country (on two occasions), he returned power to the Roman Senate and returned to his farm and to ploughing his fields.

George Washington was compared to Cincinnatus on many occasions. This comparison inspired many works of art. In the paintings and sculptures you see a George Washington dressed like an ancient Roman, toga and all! The anachronism in the art shows just how closely the American Founders wanted to connect themselves to the Roman Republican ideals.

The time is here. The problem is you have Republicans who want to see President Trump gone at any cost. <<<

and surprisingly... lots of Freepers as well...

most of them couldn't recognize Treason if it slapped them in the face.... They just want to go along and get along and pretend we still have a Free Republic...

Biden cannot re classify them to cover up .

Given how much the obstruction law is being stretched in an effort to snare Trump, it would seem to me that in such a situation The Bidet’s move would be also a coverup and obstructing the proper administration of justice.

Secondly, if he actually did that, The Bidet’s action would be tantamount to his recognizing that Trump had declassified the documents. That shatters the underpinning of their “case”
