They&#8217;re going to get somebody. I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;re going to get the president, but they&#8217;re going to get somebody, and they&#8217;re going to get him for something. And they&#8217;re probably going to go to jail,&#8221;<\/strong> Gingrich told Fox News&#8217;s Sean Hannity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Investigators smell blood in the water, Gingrich said. And it\u2019s making them desperately hungry for what will likely be a historic bust.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"quote_start\">\u00a0&#8220;This is like watching an old-fashioned Western movie. This is an Indian hunting party,&#8221; Gingrich said. <strong>&#8220;They&#8217;re out looking for a couple scalps, and they&#8217;re not going to go home until they get some.&#8221;<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The hypocrisy of the investigation into Trump\u2019s inner circle is staggering, as Gingrich rightfully pointed out. Even high-ranking Democrats are now questioning whether one of their own, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, illegally tried to influence the outcome of the FBI\u2019s investigation into Hillary Clinton\u2019s mishandling of classified information. Former FBI Director James Comey admitted as much during his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in May that the suspicious \u201cimpromptu\u201d meeting inspired him to unilaterally announce the end of the Clinton investigation because he was worried about the optics.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/video.foxnews.com\/v\/video-embed.html?video_id=5474764863001&amp;loc=zerohedge.com&amp;ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zerohedge.com%2Fnews%2F2017-06-17%2Fgingrich&amp;_xcf=\" width=\"466\" height=\"263\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As Gingrich noted, following Comey\u2019s testimony, California Senator Dianne Feinstein suggested that \u201csomething stinks\u201d with that situation.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"quote_start\">\u00a0\u201cWhat\u2019s amazing to me about the Republican passivity here is that Senator Dianne Feinstein, the ranking Democrat on the intelligence committee, said last week after Comey\u2019s testimony \u2018you know we really have to look into exactly what\u2019s going on with Loretta lynch and with president Obama.&#8217; <strong>Now I was waiting for one of the intel chairmen in the House and Senate to get up and say they\u2019re opening a new investigation into exactly what Loretta lynch said to Comey\u201d<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"quote_start\">\u00a0<strong>\u201cThey said we have to look into it.
