anyone verify this?
In a thumbnail, Congress accepted the committee report, which found that Gingrich used tax exempt contributions for political purposes and then attempted to mislead the Ethics Committee about it. Pelosi sat on the Ethics Committee at the time, so has vivid knowledge of the whole business.

20 year old charges that were found bogus ? that’s the best you can do ?

Here ya go - the truth about the ethics charges -

the ONLY one they ‘got’ him on turned out, ultimately, to be untrue also - cleared by the IRS itself...
so after 3.5 years of trying to pin something on him - gotta give them an A for effort - every single charge was found to be without merit.
Excerpt: “... after a 3.5 year probe, after Newt paid the $300,000 fine, the IRS announced on February 3, 1999, that it found NO IMPROPRIETIES IN THE TAX FILINGS of Gingrich and the sponsoring Progress and Freedom Foundation. The IRS said the principles taught in the course were not of use only in political campaigns. “The ... course taught principles from American civilization that could be used by each American in everyday life whether the person is a welfare recipient, the head of a large corporation, or a politician.”
They should have been made to give him back the $300,000.
Gosh, were I Nanny - I’d be a bit afraid to kick the ‘ethics’ dog. They’re some sniffing around her feet...setting aside all the insider trading - what about taking her gov’t provided jumbo jet to Europe with a few hundreds of her friends and family for a junket on, think it was, global warming? And all the times she flew friends and family free on our dime? That’s just for starters.
