Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Monday on FNC’s “Fox & Friends” that the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 Capitol Hill riot was a “show trial in the Stalinist tradition.”
When asked if he would testify, Gingrich said, “Well, my attorneys are working all that out. I’m not directly engaged with the committee. But I will say, there has never been a more blatant misuse of the Justice Department this close to an election. You know, the ground rule used to be that 60 days out, they stopped all this stuff precisely to try to influence an election. Instead, you have a deliberate targeting process underway to intimidate Republican donors, Republican candidates, even Republican lawyers. This is as close to a police state tactic as we have ever seen in this country. Of course, this totally, I think, inappropriate. It’s not really a congressional committee. It’s a show trial [in the] Stalinist tradition. They are apparently sitting down this week with their Hollywood producer. Think about this – they are sitting down with a Hollywood producer to plan the next two months. This is an absurdity, and Americans should be insulted. These people think they are stupid enough to fall for this kind of thing.”

McConnell and the rest of our spineless minority leaders are still hiding in the DC basement! Not one peep out of them. Not one!. The vegetable FJB has scared them into staying in the basement. A demented man scared the hell out of our minority leaders into hiding! Think about that! incredible! Balless POS!
This it the kind of statement our GOP in office should be screaming from the rooftops.
Pay attention to who has not condemned this show trial.
It speaks volumes.
The committee hearings aren’t the show trial. The show trials are the actual trials of people who are getting 2 to 5 years for walking around the Capitol.
Newt is going to be disowned by the GOPe if he is not already.
They call him to Jan 6th hearings, they are going to get more than they expected. Look for a Mister Smith goes to Washinton, or a “Senator McCain have you no decency” moment.
I agree. Newt’s opening statement is going to be a doozy.
It’s not really a congressional committee. It’s a show trial [in the] Stalinist tradition.
Democrats have never change their style
Vince Foster taps box
I think that the reality is that McConnell and other Republicans are hoping the show-trial works. They could hardly contain Trump, the last time. McConnell’s China-spy wife was probably pretty hard on him.
With the communists who rule us on such a continuous roll, expect the chances of Newt getting the equivalent o the Russian umbrella treatment any day now...
And the Washington prison gulag is also in the same tradition.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they find him in contempt of Congress.
They will never have Gingrich testify on live TV for exactly the reason you cite. He is too smart for them and willing to address himself directly to the American people watching. They will keep his testimony hidden and only release excerpts that fit their narrative.
I agree with you. If Newt testifies it will not be on live TV.
Except that the “defendants” aren’t taken out and shot two hours after testimony. Not this time around anyway. Wait until
after the next two fraudulent elections for that.
