Gingrich: Bush Should Stonewall Corrupt Senate Probers

President Bush should stop cooperating with Senate Intelligence Committee probers until the person who authored a memo urging Democrats to use committee resources for corrupt partisan purposes is fired, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said Wednesday.

"This is a real crisis of whether or not the Congress can perform honest, non-partisan, intelligence oversight aimed at protecting the nation," Gingrich told radio host Sean Hannity.

"I don't see how the White House can cooperate with an intelligence committee which has this level of partisanship," he added. "[What the memo suggests doing] violates every rule that we've had for managing the intelligence system for the last two generations."

Gingrich called on ranking Senate Intelligence Committee Democrat Jay Rockefeller to step down.

"The only honorable thing Sen. Rockefeller could do now would be to resign to re-establish the integrity of the committee," he urged, "If he stays on the committee, he taints the committee permanently with being just a partisan brawl."

Read the memo that details the Democrats' plan to use the information gathered by the Senate Intelligence Committee to drive President Bush from office.
