Business Insider "Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich wants Republicans to banish lawmakers he considers "despicable," like Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, to a newly created, powerless committee if the GOP retakes the House majority in this year's elections.
"Gingrich's comments to Insider follow his recent statement on Fox News that members of the select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol siege are risking "jail for the kind of laws they're breaking" as they carry out their work.
"Gingrich told Insider his advice is to invent a new committee "for people who are so despicable that they should not have any legislative jurisdiction."
"He recommended that House Republicans "dump" Schiff of California on the bogus committee "with no staff, no jurisdiction and no opportunity to do anything, and say, 'You can stay in the Congress as long as you can get re-elected. You'll just be useless.'"
"Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, was the lead manager in the trial that led to former President Trump's first impeachment by the House in 2019. He also is a member of the January 6 Select Committee.". . .
