Gingrich: Mueller and FBI are Acting Like “Stalin” and “The Gestapo in Germany”

Newt Gingrich: The truth is Mueller has produced NOTHING about Ppresident Trump and Russia. If you just look at what his original assignment was, it is a bust an absurdity. And instead they have gone off trying to find ways to create noise. But in terms of what he was originally asked to look into Robert Mueller has come up with a big fat zero and we ought to be honest about that. The president ought to relax, focus on on being president… The fact is that Rosenstein has not done his job. He has not supervised Mueller. This whole thing is an absurdity. We’ve now had, Paul Manafort and his wife, in their pajamas at 3 o’clock in the morning having the FBI break down the door. We’ve had this last week Cohen the lawyer had the door taken off the hinges at 6 in the morning. Show me one occasion where out of all the different crimes committed by the Clintons and their staff they ever had that kind of treatment. The fact is this is a left-wing bureaucracy of justice. It is anti-Trump. It is anti-Republican. People who think that justice is blind, which it’s supposed to be. No the left eye is open and what they have done ought to lead to a real debate not just what they have done about Mueller but about the whole Justice Department. And remember, it was Rosenstein who approved going in a six o’clock in the morning. There is no reason to have done it. But actually the same thing about Manafort. How would anybody watching this show feel if you woke up at three in the morning and you and your spouse were still in bed in your pajamas and there were armed people in your room and they were the United States government. And they had no reason to do it… Comey is off grandstanding. But the truth is he didn’t do his job in the Bush administration, he colluded with Schumer to embarrass President Bush. The truth is he appointed a special counsel during the Bush administration that ran wild. And the truth is he failed to prosecute the people in the Clinton campaign.

And I think we ought to take this as a chance to educate the country about Comey and again to go back to my course on defending America. That’s the whole point that we’re supposed to have the rule of law. It ain’t the rule of law when they kick in your door at three in the morning and you’re faced with armed men and you have no reason to be told you’re going to have that kind of treatment. That’s Stalin. That’s the gestapo in Germany. That shouldn’t be the American FBI.
