Too late for that. Nothing would look worse.
--Newt Gingrich on May 18.Robert Mueller is superb choice to be special counsel. His reputation is impeccable for honesty and integrity. Media should now calm down.
Sounds like Mueller is getting close to something ugly. Can't wait to hear what it is.
In light of the two tweets quoted in the article, I am curious what others think is going on here. 1. Both posts are Gingrich's honest belief at the time they were posted. 2. The first is an honest opinion, the second is a political opinion. 3. The second is honest, the first is political. 4. Both are political positions 5. Other? The first just seems implausible to me on the basis that no one changes opinions so drastically so fast. If it's the second, third, or fourth, then who would bother reading Twitter posts and ascribing any meaning to them? Surely the only value in reading an individual Republican's Twitter lies in the idea that they do something other thsn parrot Republican talking points?
Meh. Considering this is a guy who was cheating on his wife and then left her in the middle of cancer treatment while leading a crusade on family values grounds against the president, I'd say don't try to make too much sense of it. He isn't a guy who has "principles" or "core beliefs", etc. He has an allegiance to whatever is expedient for himself. Once you consider that, all of his various positions become crystal clear immediately.
