Newt Gingrich Calls For Shutting Down Special Counsel: GOP Is Delusional If They Think He’ll Be Fair [VIDEO]

The Hill reports:



Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) questioned early Monday special counsel Robert Mueller’s ability to remain fair and impartial in his investigation into Russia’s involvement in the 2016 presidential election.

Gingrich, an informal adviser to the president, also voiced his concerns about Mueller on Sunday. He accused former FBI Director James Comey on Sunday of manipulating the Russia probe in order to effectuate the appointment of a special counsel and called on Congress to dismiss the special counsel altogether.

“I think Congress should now intervene and they should abolish the independent counsel, because Comey makes so clear that it’s the poison fruit of a deliberate manipulation by the FBI director leaking to the New York Times, deliberately set up this particular situation. It’s very sick,” Gingrich told radio host John Catsimatidis.
