Great article by Newt:

Newt Gingrich: Why the Mueller probe is really five scandals, not one | Fox News

I realized that the scandal is so big, so complex, and involves so many people with power that codifying it really required me to draw from my experience writing novels. There are so many egos and there is so much manipulative behavior, dishonesty (and dishonesty about the dishonesty) that it is very difficult to explain it as a straightforward history. It could be more easily explained as a narrative of ambition, illegality and criminal plotting.
Finally, it hit me that the real problem is that there are five parallel and often interlocked scandals going on in concert:

Agreed, the left truly did hijack our government years ago and has been running rogue with it ever since.

That's why its called "The Deep State". It is BELOW the administrative veneer of the Executive Branch political appointee. It endures, like a roach infestation, because it is protected by the bureaucracy of careerism which is the foundation of the "civil service" sector.

Definitely worth the little bit of time to read this link. It's not long at all, but long enough to point out the five points in enough detail to make one worry about the condition of the DOJ and FBI as it is now.

Your reading a guy who was knocked out of the speakership by his own party. One who lied and just made stuff up.

Who is a K Street lobbyist.

Cannot believe a word he writes.

As to why the DOJ is corrupt it's because most lawyers are liberals. That in turn is because liberals tend to be highly verbal, often at the expense of other aptitudes, and law and politics are one area of life where you can become rich and famous by "saying the magic words."

Allow me to translate this from lib-speak to English: "I can't factually refute/disprove anything in the article, so I'll mindlessly attack the messenger".

Nothing to dispute, they are all lies. It's Newts history, spit out stuff and hope it sticks to the wall.

For some bizarre reason Gingrich garners admiration from the right and he's such an amoral lying sack of self-serving crap, but then again look at their standard bearer in The White House.

Gingrich also wangled a job for his wife in this putrid administration so some boot-licking is required.

Did you believe Gingrich when he said that government is too large or that Bill Clinton needs to be impeached?

I can't believe I wasted my time reading that trash. So, Rob Rosenstein, a republican, and dedicated US attorney is a member of the Deep State. Newt is so desperate that he has to go back 25 plus years on Hillary. The coup de grace is that the former Speaker of the US House of Representative has so sold his soul to the Trumpian devil that he has to spread lies about Clapper and Brennan and the government he once served. What is the devil offering him in return? A job or a cut of Trump's take...
