Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told "America's Newsroom" Thursday he believes Attorney General Merrick Garland is in danger of facing charges of his own for "directing" special counsel Jack Smith's "disgustingly political" assault on former President Donald Trump.
NEWT GINGRICH: Look, we have never seen a major political figure as routinely and methodically assaulted as Donald Trump. It's a sign of how desperate the establishment is. They are terrified that if he's still standing and in October of 2024, he is going to become the president. And, of course, if he does become the president, all of these people are in jeopardy.
Remember, Watergate led to 46 people being convicted. The only Cabinet officer ever to go to jail was Attorney General John Mitchell for obstruction of justice. And I am absolutely certain that the current attorney general, Merrick Garland, is in grave danger of being charged with obstruction of justice and with having destroyed the system.
