Back when Newt Gingrich was just getting his feet wet as Speaker of the House, the press launched a campaign to brand him a “bomb thrower.”
It was a overreaching narrative-making on their part, and probably coming from the Clinton camp, but there was a bit of truth in it: Newtron always goes where no flaccid, cowardly RINO dares to tread.
Now he’s got a doozy.
According to Matt Margolis at PJMedia:
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich revealed on Thursday that a reliable source told him that a request was made from Washington, D.C., to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis that she had to bring charges against former President Donald Trump because they needed a distraction from the “screw up” with recently appointed Special Counsel David Weiss.
“I am told—this is hearsay—but I am told by a reliable source, that Friday evening, somebody from Washington called the district attorney in Atlanta and said, ‘You have to indict on Monday. We have to cover up all of the mistakes we just made with Weiss,’” Gingrich told Charlie Kirk in an interview. “And she said, apparently, ‘My jurors aren’t coming back till Tuesday,’ and they said, ‘You didn’t hear me. You have to indict on Monday,’ And she said, ‘Well, they’re not gonna get here before noon.’ They said, ‘That doesn’t matter.’ She says, ‘This means it’s going to be eight or nine or 10 o’clock at night.’ They said, ‘It doesn’t matter.”“Who made that phone call?” asked Kirk.“We don’t know,” Gingrich said. “And that’s why I’m telling you upfront, this is hearsay, but it’s from a person who has remarkably good sources.”
C’mon Newt, name names. Hearsay won’t cut it.
