So it behooves him to stand up for the President.
Gingrich said there's "no evidence" the president ever impeded any Russian Federation investigation and Trump fired the FBI director because "Comey's public behavior was so destructive". Karl Rove warns in WSJ oped today " special counsels can run amok". "As James Comey said in his testimony, that the president was not the target of an investigation, on three different occasions".
Mueller, for the record, seems more like a stereotypical G-Man, above-board and committed to the truth, than a deep stater. "This would be a lot more fun than a yacht!'" Gingrich wrote. Gingrich posted on May 17, "Robert Mueller is a superb choice to be special counsel".
Before the report, Mueller's probe had only extended to the investigation of the Trump campaign for potential collusion with the Russian government during the 2016 presidential election.
"I have a lot of confidence in Mueller", Sen.
Gingrich, after initially praising Mueller, has become a harsh critic.
"Trump has a compulsion to counterattack, and is very pugnacious", Gingrich, a strong ally of Trump, told ABC News' This Week Co-Anchor Martha Raddatz in an exclusive interview Sunday.
Of course, it's also possible that Trump did threaten Comey by making it clear that Comey's job depended on the termination of the Flynn investigation. And Gingrich was then speaker of the House.

Though disappointed, Richmond resident Hakim Taylor said he'd follow his team anywhere. "Give everyone credit. Sheldon Glasgow, who has been living in Oakland for 10 years, said he wasn't angry the Warriors were moving.
Though his reasoning his off by a mile, he is probably correct: The Russia/obstruction of justice scandal is getting worse for this White House by the day, and jail time is becoming increasingly likely.
"Muelleris now clearly the tip of the deep state spear aimed at destroying or at a minimum undermining and crippling the Trump presidency", Gingrich tweeted.
That was 19 years ago, to be sure. I know you disagree but I don't care.
It is not just in the matter of the special counsel that Gingrich has let his opinion be heard.
Gingrich raised eyebrows earlier this week when he appeared to blame liberal rhetoric for the shooting at a GOP congressional baseball practice Wednesday that left five, including Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana, wounded and the gunman dead.
"But it's part of a pattern, as you saw the one sign this guy was holding, you've had an increasing intensity of hostility on the left", Gingrich said. I don't think they're going to get the president, but they're going to get somebody, and they're going to get him for something. "[.] We're told in this case, this guy goes and says, 'Are they Democrats or Republicans?' Well, that's a pretty directed kind of behavior".
Now, with a Republican in power, Gingrich has changed his tune.
