Newt Gingrich on America’s Newsroom | August 3, 2023



NEWT:

Well, and I think Chairman Comer indicated that. I think next week they’re going to have bank records. All these things just keep building week after week. And look, I understand that the Democrats have to play defense and they have to pretend they don’t understand it. But to any normal person, this story is not complicated. You had a guy who had no skills, no professional ability, who was making money in Kazakhstan, Romania, Ukraine, Russia and China. Now, why, if his name had been Hunter Jordan or or Hunter Smith, he wouldn’t have made a dime. The fact is, he was playing off of his father. And we now know, despite Joe Biden’s lies, that in fact, Biden was part of the game. You know, he he not only called people, but he also went at least on two occasions to Cafe Milano and had dinner with major foreign businesses.

NEWT:

Look, it’s actually a bigger story. Andy McCarthy wrote a book in 2019 called Ball of Collusion. And in there he really makes the case that that it is Obama who politicizes and destroys the integrity of the Justice Department. It is Hillary Clinton who figures out she can steal like crazy and nobody’s going to prosecute her. And here’s poor Joe Biden. I mean, he’s watching Hillary make millions and millions of dollars. Nothing is being done to her. And he thinks, hey, maybe the family can get in on it. So he’s a piker compared to the Clintons, The amount they took in just one deal over uranium going to Russia was probably $35 million. None of that has ever been thoroughly investigated. And then Biden comes along. And guess what? He was correct for a long time. The Obama Justice Department and the people who are still there who were Obama people were never going to go after Hunter, ever. I mean, that’s why we’ve had this very weird parallelism of anything that Donald Trump does is terrible. Anything that Hunter Biden does is excusable, and the country is gradually begin to realize how really sick and how really corrupt it is.

NEWT:

I think he said something really important, which is that this isn’t really that complicated by everyone. Everybody understands what’s going on here. And now the Bidens have put the members of Congress, the Democrats want to defend them in a pretty ridiculous position. Well, you know, I was looking up this morning, one of Jack Smith’s charges against Trump is based on 150 year old, 53 year old Bill involving the Ku Klux Klan in South Carolina. Well, it turns out the very first Congress in 1789 passed a bill involving bribery among customs officials. So maybe you could have a parallelism. The Bidens could be charged under a 1789 act, which has no relationship to today. And Trump can be charged under an 1870 act, which has no relationship today. And we can realize what you have is a Justice Department, which has gone crazy. This is exactly the opposite of how the Justice Department should operate. There’s a brilliant speech by Attorney General Robert Jackson in 1948 talking to U.S. attorneys and saying to them, You got to be really careful. You have so much power that you cannot get involved in distorting and then going after people just because you don’t like them or just because a person wants, its a brilliant speech. And that is exactly what we’re now faced with. And frankly, I think that the funding for these activities ought to be cut off by the Congress. And as of September 30th, they should be gone.
