NEWT:

Well, I mean, she can say it she can say all she wants to. The fact is all these indictments are about politics. Not a single one of them is about the law. And I think the public understands that. The last I saw yesterday, Trump is now at 60% support for the nomination. He will probably become the Republican nominee on the 6th of March after the California primary. And all the Democrats are doing right now, particularly with the Biden problems, is they're proving what total hypocrites they are, that this is not about the law. This is about politics. This is a form of warfare against the person most likely to win the presidency. We've never seen anything like it in American history. And I think it's not just at the level of Trump. You have a you have a Democrat attorney general in Michigan who has who has indicted an 81 year old woman for agreeing to serve as a as an elector. I mean, think about how sick that is. So this whole thing, I think, is the greatest constitutional crisis since the Civil War.

NEWT:

No, it's not careerism. It's a vicious partizan war by the left to try to destroy the person who is the greatest threat to their corrupt system. I mean, just take Georgia. Stacey Abrams was the Democratic nominee for governor. She said 30 times that Brian Kemp didn't win. Do you see the district attorney in Fulton County indicting her? Yet she clearly disavowed the result of the election. You can go through case after case, the Al Gore electors in Florida who are alternative electors. They did exactly what people are being indicted for around the country by the Democrats today. None of them were indicted because people back then had common sense. What you're watching is an act, frankly, of political warfare that has nothing to do with the law as we've known it. And anybody who attempts to interpret these things as though they involve the law misses and understands the point. One of Trump's indictments is over the 1870 Ku Klux Klan Act in South Carolina. Now, I mean, does anyone seriously believe that Congress in 1870 and by the way, only Republicans voted to abolish the KU Klux Klan. Every Democrat who voted voted against the U.S. government stopping the Ku Klux Klan, because back then, the Democrats were the party of slavery, segregation and repression. And you look at that and you say to yourself, you know, Jack Smith is crazy, which he is, by the way. He was rebuked 8 to 0 by the Supreme Court when he went after Governor Robert McDonald, basically for having lied about the nature of the law. So what we're seeing in D.C., in Miami in New York in Fulton County and maybe certainly with the attorney general in Michigan, we're seeing a concerted left wing effort to use the law as a weapon of destruction and to do things that are clearly political and not legal.

NEWT:

Well, I think, first of all, Republicans have to understand that they're in a political war that is extraordinary and unlike anything we've seen since the Civil War. The Georgia legislature should have a special session and frankly, disbar her when she has violated so many rules and is acting so inappropriately. She shouldn't be the district attorney. The U.S. Congress, frankly, ought to cut off the money for Jack Smith and just make it impossible for him to function after September 30th. They should also, in my judgment, they should go ahead now and get the financial records of the Clinton Foundation, which will show far greater corruption than Joe Biden. And I notice today that Chairman Comer has discovered and one of those really weird breaks you couldn't write in a novel that a staff person had written to set up a call to a secret phone on behalf of the vice president then and the president of Ukraine. It happened to come out as a pure accident. And now we know that apparently Joe Biden had a secret phone, which was probably paid for by Hunter Biden's company. And we don't yet know what all the calls were made to it. But that phone now that we know it exists, when we get the number, AT&T has all those records and they should be subpoenaed. We're going to be shocked to find out. But remember you, what you have at the national level is Obama corrupting the Justice Department and the intelligence service. Hillary realizing she'll never be tried for anything. So she engages in massive millions of dollars for public policy. And Joe Biden looking at all that, going, wow, if you can get away with it, why not? And so he uses his son Hunter, as a bagman to go around the world collecting money. This is the most corrupt system in American history. And I don't believe it's going to survive because I think the American people, the more they learn, the more offended they're going to be.
