Newt sez: 'Obama, Loretta Lynch Knew FBI Was Spying on Trump Campaign'
[Breitbart] Sunday on New York AM 970 radio’s "The Cats Roundtable," former House Speaker Newt Gingrich argued that it is not "conceivable" for neither former President Barack Obama nor his Attorney General Loretta Lynch to not know the FBI was spying on the Donald Trump campaign.

Gingrich told host John Catsimatidis after the recent release of the Department of Justice’s inspector general report that it is "clear" the fix was in and those involved will not be prosecuted.

"With everything we’re learning from the inspector general’s report, how is it conceivable that the attorney general and the president didn’t know about it?" asked Gingrich. "So, part 1 is to go back and look at 2015, 2016, and ask, given what a hands-on and dynamic president that Barack Obama was, do you really believe all these things happened and the attorney general and the president didn’t know it?"

He continued, "Part 2 ... there’s a story that the woman who tried to bribe her son into a university, that she and her husband got caught, that they’re now facing 40 years in jail. Now, how can we not prosecute Comey? How can we not prosecute McCabe? How can we say that they’ve done all the terrible things that the inspector general said they did, but they’re somehow above the law? People are not going to have any faith in the system until people who are guilty are prosecuted and are treated like everybody else. People are not going to have any faith in the system. ... It’s clear that no matter how bad they were, the fix is in and they’re not going to be prosecuted."

#1 ...do you really believe all these things happened and the attorney general and the president didn’t know it?"

No, I do not. Obama's involvement is precisely why nothing is being done about any of it. Bringing charges against this fellow will stir up a hornets nest, but it must be done.

#2 The only question in my mind is where the Truth lies between "Who will rid me of this turbulent priest?" at one end and "Loretta, see to it personally that something is done!"

#3 According to the Page-Strzok correspondence, POTUS wanted to be kept up-to-date on everything.

#5 Where do these fools get the nerve to criticize Russia's government for corruption and lawbreaking?

#6 Gingrich is only saying what everyone else within the Beltway has known or suspected since this sordid affair began. It's a very well networked community, but a closed circuit to anyone on the outside.

#7 Prosecuting Champ, Lynch, ValJar ( Note the common characteristic) would unleash a nationwide race war. Wittingly or not the incessant drumbeat of racism claims and white supremacy has created a tinderbox than gives even the most ardent among us pause I hope. I’m certain it must be done, and I’m not sure the smoking ruins of our inner cities won’t crack the foundations of the nation.

#8 I would be satisfied with prosecuting Brennan, Comey, ValJar et al and leaving Obama as a "unindicted co-conspirator". We are already mimicking the last days of the Late Roman Republic -- hopefully we can avoid the Caesers and muddle along for another hundred years.

#9 I think it was John Solomon who said that he estimates that we know about 40% of the wrongdoing that occurred in the last administration.

I wonder how much of this 40% would have to be released before people began to get a change in their thinking about the honesty, corruption and integrity of the last administration. That is, assuming the MSM did some honest reporting.

#10 Very interesting assessment at #7.

#11 The foundations have already been eaten away, NMBS. Can anyone name an agency that is not corrupted? Education Dept is now armed? Really? I say bring it! It will have to be sorted out sometime.

#12 We are all fond of the late Roman Republic examples. What will happen when a Sulla actually comes along?
