Newt Gingrich—the architect of the Republican comeback in the ’90s who has mostly faded from the stage—quietly advised Team Trump to “arouse the country’s anger” with TV ads after the 2020 election to amplify the lie that Donald Trump won the presidential election that year.

That’s according to the House Jan. 6 committee, which revealed Thursday that it has obtained emails showing how the former House speaker turned Republican operative played a role behind the scenes to instigate the disappointed MAGA crowd.

The committee has formally requested that the one-time politician meet with investigators and discuss his previously undisclosed activities, which appear to have fueled the former president’s ill-advised attempt to cling to power after losing to President Joe Biden.

“You provided detailed input into television advertisements that repeated and relied upon false claims about fraud in the 2020 election. These advertising efforts were not designed to encourage voting for a particular candidate. Instead, these efforts attempted to cast doubt on the outcome of the election after voting had already taken place. They encouraged members of the public to contact their state officials and pressure them to challenge and overturn the results of the election,” Chairman Bennie Thompson wrote to Gingrich in a message made public by the committee.

"Gingrich began studying the history of the Catholic Church and its influence on Western civilization, especially the church's role in the fall of communism."

3. The Gingriches are connected to the Catholic Information Center on K Street, which is...

...basically an Opus Dei front. Or maybe not, since the CIC's affiliation is an open secret to many Catholics. Fr C John McCloskey ran the CIC for many years and was one of the "stars" in Catholic radtrad media, especially EWTN. He was personally responsible for the conversion of numerous public figures, including Newt Gingrich and Robert Novak. Like so many other "stars" at EWTN, McCloskey had a hard fall due to scandal.
