If anyone knows about corruption and unethical behavior, it's Newt Gingrich. For example, in 1997, Congress overwhelmingly voted to order Gingrich to pay an unprecedented $300,000 penalty for the first time in the House's 208-year history. He resigned in disgrace over an ethics violation and pressure from Republican colleagues. We could do this all day, including Gingrich being responsible for a 21-day government shutdown. As The Atlantic wrote in 2018, "Newt Gingrich turned partisan battles into bloodsport, wrecked Congress, and paved the way for Trump’s rise."

But now he wants to tell you about corruption. He's not pointing the finger at former President Donald Trump, who is facing 91 charges and 4 indictments and was recently found liable for sexual abuse. Nope. Newt Gingrich told Mark Levin that the "real corruption" comes from Hillary Clinton.

DRINK!

He added Barack Obama to the list, too, and Joe Biden got a shoutout as well.

"But I also think it's important to understand, Biden is the tip of the iceberg," Gingrich's corrupt old ass said. "The real corruption is Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Biden is the smallest of the three players."

"And I hope that the House Republicans are going to recognize that they have a much broader and much deeper investigation, starting with subpoenaing all of the financial records of the Clinton Foundation, which is going to produce evidence of a level of wrongdoing in terms of millions and millions of dollars, far beyond anything we've seen with Joe Biden," he added.

Excuse you, Newt? He wants Clinton's financial records even though Trump failed to produce his tax records, as promised. Hillary has been under investigation for 30 years, so he can fuck the fuck off.
