MARIA BARTIROMO: You had an op-ed recently titled the wolves will become sheep. Walk us through the op-ed and what's taking place now in Washington.
NEWT GINGRICH: You have both with Attorney General Garland and with this Select Committee on January 6, people who have run amok.
They are breaking the rules. They are going after people in a way which is reminiscent of the British monarchy using closed-door systems that we outlawed deliberately because we had seen it and we knew what it was like. They are running over peoples' civil liberties.
What they need to understand is on January 4, next year, you will have a Republican majority in the House and a Republican majority in the Senate and all these people who have been so tough and so mean and so nasty will be delivered subpoenas for every document, every conversation, every tweet, every e-mail because I think it's clear that these are people who are literally just running over the law, pursuing innocent people, causing them to spend thousands and thousands of dollars in legal fees for no justification and it's basically a lynch mob and unfortunately the attorney general of the United States has joined the lynch mob and is totally misusing the FBI.
I think when you have a Republican congress, this is all going to come crashing down and the wolves will find out that they are now sheep and they are the ones who are in fact, I think, face a risk of jail for the kind of laws they are breaking.
