I think you answered your own question: He's been exonerated. He wasn't and isn't guilty. It was all a smear and a ruse put on by Newt's enemies in both political parties. An innocent person should not have to provide additional facts to justify their innocence over and over.
How would you feel if someone had trashed your reputation that way; then you were ultimately exonerated; and, then, some group of malcontent busybodies wants to go on a “fishing trip” thru your private files??? (The official findings that were released are still in the public domain.)
I would tell these minor league Inquisitors exactly where they could go w/their “request”!!!
I am just amazed at how many of my friends and acquaintances do not know he was exonerated...they don’t know what the charges were or why they were levied in the first place and by whom...all they hear is the MSM talking about ethics charges..and assume he is guilty of doing something wrong.
