House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has it exactly backward. President Donald Trump will be exonerated, and she and the Democrats will be condemned by history.

that"Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff has been lying to the world for years in his nonstop campaign to smear President Trump." Their judgment is that it is Schiff—and not Trump—who has been a serial liar.'s editorial board summarized the disaster of Pelosi's bid to delay sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate, saying her move"further exposes how Democrats have defined impeachment down. The House hearings blocked GOP witnesses and limited cross-examination.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell neatly summarized the House-created calamity in his floor statement on Thursday, saying"it was a transparently partisan performance from beginning to end." McConnell went on to remind the country of the Founding Fathers' fears of exactly the kind of narrow bitter partisanship Pelosi has been displaying. Paraphrasing Hamilton, McConnell warned that"blinded by factionalism, the House of Representatives would abuse the power of impeachment to serve nakedly partisan goals rather than the long-term interests of the American people and their Republic.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi signs the articles of impeachment of President Donald Trump during an engrossment ceremony on Capitol Hill January 15, in Washington, D.C.Finally, it's clear the House Democrats have failed utterly to live up to the standard of prosecution set out by former. Jackson cautioned the Conference of United States Attorneys on April 1, 1940:

"With the law books filled with a great assortment of crimes, a prosecutor stands a fair chance of finding at least a technical violation of some act on the part of almost anyone. In such a case, it is not a question of discovering the commission of a crime and then looking for the man who has committed it, it is a question of picking the man and then searching the law books, or putting investigators to work, to pin some offense on him.

Newt the lair . The man that voted to impeach President Clinton for an affair . What a joke !!!

This from a man living in adulatory

Sorry Newt. That would be no.

Bull

Wrong!

You tell ‘em, Salamander.

Hey it’s I messed around on all three of my wives “Newt” I thought he was dead. Good news for Dems when he speaks up - he’s not respected by members of either party. Crawl back in your tomb “Newt”

Desperate statement from a desperate nan in a shrinking party Republicans and Trump will brr permanently harmed by this IMPEACHMENT And Newt knows it

Trump is impeached for life plus the rest of history. Period!

Democrats just trying not to be exposed!

I predict they lose majority of seats in both houses.

The man has never been credible and is irrelevant - why would Newsweek give him a voice?

Mewt, that well-known exponant of verity.

We are going to be permanently scarred as a nation by this presidency. No civility (PC wasn't as bad as portrayed), re-established monarchy (golf trips at his own properties will help bankrupt US and not just in $$$), divided-we-fall.

A real atomic bomb is about to hit the Republican Party at the start of Trump’s impeachment hearings.

Interesting since he has no scars...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nope.

Ok boomer.

How scare?

Not at all. Only performing their constitutional duty.

Says the man who has permanently scarred our poltics with his vitriol for 30 years.

Wanna bet?

Meet Gingrich is the one who started the slime. I can't believe anyone takes him seriously.

From the man that was leading the impeachment of Clinton while doing the ping-pong underlying the impeachment of Clinton.

Truth

Hey Newt ... the entire Republican Party will be scarred for a long, long time because of who resides in the White House. You know I’m right, go ahead, admit it!

No it’s our Constitution that is going to be scarred becuse trump is destroying America.

Newt? Can he please go away? Idiot was having an affair while married to his 2nd wife during the Clinton impeachment.. go write another vacuous book

Kinda like the Repuglicans have been laughed at for impeaching a president or a blowjob? I don't think so in this case. Trump would have been better off if he'd been caught having phone sex than calling foreign leaders to extort them.

many remember Johnson was impeached. few remember who impeached him. Nixon n Clinton more recent but few even remember the Congress. Many trump supporters are in jail, indicted or waiting. orange is trump’s color.

The insanity of what is SpeakerPelosi's sanity The most abusive use of congresional power Weaponized scorn Gavel was readied to obfuscate what should have been an illegal impeachment Clear indictable criminal activity by democrats They tried to overthrow POTUS Donald J Trump

You are not in the ballgame,anymore,and are unimportant.

Didn’t he cheat on then divorce his wife with cancer?

Lol Newt so wrong and dumb, as ever

correct

Bye bye Democrats.

What a joke that Grinch.

If you had to blame one single person for the current state of political discourse in this country it would have to lay on the head of newtgingrich

Newt Gingrich’s oligarch pal Vadim Trincher was arrested for running an illegal international gambling ring out of Trump Tower. Just a reminder that Newt is part of trumprussia and anything Trump’s likely co-conspirators say should always be taken with a grain of salt.

As Granny Hawkins said, “I say that big talk's worth doodly-squat.”

another non-newsworthy piece. why not ask mr. gingrich if he's reviewed the new documents released re ukraine tonight that confirm the ukraine scandal and gop member involvement and so much more. perhaps he shd take look at his friends.

100 years from now, Trump will still be remembered in history as being impeached. 100 years from now, the House will not be affected by it. I'd probably rephrase that 'permanently' if I were him.

This Newt loon voted to impeach Clinton, for an extramarital affair, i.e a blowe job, with Monica, while he was cheating on his then wife, with his current wife Clarria. That guy is a joke.

Your House was permanently scarred because it based its impeachment on a man cheating on his wife. You did the same thing but weren’t impeached by the House you controlled. Hypocrisy ?

Says newtgingrich who received a reprimand for ethics violation

Baloney!

Newt... feel free to go to Hell!

The Newt Perspective: Republicans are invulnerable and infallible. When the women vote in the 2020 election, Newt Gingrich will try another strategy.

Hahahahahah newtgingrich

Projection? 🤔

You mean like the way YOU WERE SCARRED by investigating a BJ? That’s YOUR CLAIM TO FAME. I’m sure you and your second family are so proud of your legacy.

Newt from the hinterland, it is not a who is who...it is a who cares (except for his bromance with Hannity of course).

100%

Really The guy that lost Congress The guy that got kicked out... That guy is analyzing things Is this a comedy
