You really think he was paid for advice??! $1.8 Million?!!? Newt was no expert on the economy or the mortgage industry. So what could he possibly sell that is worth $1.8 million? Theres only one thing Newt has. He was paid for his influence over other gop congressman
“You really think he was paid for advice??! “
Whatever the so-called advice Newt gave them, must be recorded somewhere, in order to justify the expense.
Wouldn’t it be interesting to see exactly what that advise was, I mean think about it, his advice may have been one of the primary factors in the failure of Freddy.
I think you are right, they were paying for influence, I would not be surprised to learn Newt worked closely with Dodd and Frank lobbying for votes in congress.
