Newt was worried about systematically undermining the Constitution
by digby
Once upon a time :
That was back in 1998. Today, he’s singing a different tune:
“This whole thing is an absurdity. We’ve now had Paul Manafort and his wife in their pajamas at 3 in the morning having the FBI break down the door. Cohen, the lawyer, had the door taken off of the hinges at 6 in the morning. It ain’t the rule of law when they kick in your door at 3 in the morning and you’re faced with armed men. And you have had 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.”
I’m sure you’re shocked to see that Newt Gingrich is a total hypocrite and political hack. He seemed so sincere.

Buckle up everybody. It’s going to be a very bumpy New Year …
