Newt Gingrich on how History will Look Back on Trump Investigations

Newt Gingrich is absolutely correct — the meeting between Donald Trump, Jr., Paul Manafort, Jared Kushner and a Russian lawyer that the Democrats and the news media have been up in arms about — with former Democratic vice-presidential candidate and Virginia Senator Tim Kaine calling it “treason” — is essentially a big nothing burger. Gingrich fully justifies this stance in this clip, and it makes complete sense. Like the infamous Salem witch trials of 1600s Massachusetts, gossip and hearsay about this affair is larger than any evidence of scandal itself (of which there’s next to none).

As a former professor of history and the author of 27 books, Gingrich is in an excellent position to put these events in context. If one knows anything about the Salem witch trials, one quickly realizes that the atmosphere and context in which they took place overpowered the senses of rationale and reason that normally should have held sway in that historically high-minded community.

But the “hysteria” of both that time and now are equally consuming; our mainstream media is so one-sided against the president at the present moment that it’s already determined he must be guilty of something — all that’s needed is an excuse for it to go haywire. But an excuse is not the same thing as a smoking gun. Watch as the level-headed Gingrich calmly and rationally discusses the matter on Fox News.
