Gingrich also pointed out that Comey and Mueller, also a former FBI chief, were "very close" and that 97 percent of donations from Department of Justice employees who contributed to the 2016 presidential election were in support of former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton.
"So, what we have here is a fired FBI director, who leaked private material to the press, so he could get his friend appointed as a special counsel in order to take retribution on the President – with the aid of a department full of federal lawyers who would have rather seen Hillary in the White House. And we are supposed to believe this will be an objective, unbiased investigation?" Gingrich wrote.
Bullying Blows Up In His Face As Legal Threat To Comey Could Lead To Charges Against Trump
George W. Bush's ethics lawyer is warning that Trump's threat to legally come after James Comey could result in new charges, including obstruction of justice against the President.
Former Bush ethics lawyer Richard Painter told NBC News:
“The Department of Justice reports to the President of the United States.
And the President of the United States is saying, ‘you’re going to be a witness against me? I’m going to open an investigation against you’ —
that’s clearly witness intimidation, and that itself is obstruction of justice,” Painter said.
“So they’re going to compound the problem,” he said.
Every solution that Trump comes up with to make himself feel better only serves to add to his troubles.
Going after James Comey for an act that wasn’t a crime is a horrible idea.
Instead of moving on after Comey’s testimony,
the President is trying to intensify and personalize the conflict.
Trump’s motivation for attacking Comey isn’t to save his presidency, but to punish the former FBI director for testifying before the Senate.

Comey Opens Door to Investigate Trump Dossier
It's not clear the special counsel had authority to investigate the president personally. He does now.
major new avenue for special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russia-related crimes:
the possibility that President Donald Trump committed a federal crime by lying to Comey about his connections to Russia and activities on his 2013 visit there.
It’s a crime to lie to a representative of the federal government. Thus, Mueller can now investigate the possibility of a criminal charge against Trump if he had any connection to Russia
will also enable Mueller to do what the Federal Bureau of Investigation apparently has not done:
investigate the questionable dossier claims that Trump was compromised by Russian intelligence on the basis of sexual escapades in Moscow.
The key to this analysis is one completely new piece of information in Comey’s testimony.
According to Comey, Trump told him on March 30 that Trump said “he had nothing to do with Russia” and “had not been involved with hookers in Russia.”

Will anything leak from Comey's closed-door afternoon session?
Nice cozy corporation you have there twixt Comey and that Mueller, 21.
That Newt Gingrich funny. This one even more funny.
That was before (we) found Comey & Mule in bed together.
Newt already know both peoples for years.
Then discovers neither one was who he thought they were.
When? What change his mind?
Don't be purposely obtuse.
Don't try evade question.
What change Newt mind about Mueller?
Two law professors disagree.
Which are?
You cant change what is. Stop looking like a moron. Even TSA let this one go and HE was the one who brought up Dershowitz.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting the blog, but it seems to be saying that POTUS has no power over an investigation by independent counsel.
CROFL Sessions being forced to testify before senate intel in a closed meeting.
Explain how we knew a Special Counsel would be asked to investigate by Trump's own?
Then...
Expain how Comey knew they would pick Mueller.
You cant. Nobody could have expected this except AFTER the fact.
Which you have proved worthy of.
*cue polite golf palm clap*
yep. disagreement on the interpretation of law is incredibly common, as anybody who follows the political sphere knows well.
point being that dershowitz going on TV doesn't make it an open and shut case
Trump says he never said that and will testify under oath. His son says he did say that
