After Gingrich had been speaker for a brief two years, the Republican House voted 395-28 to reprimand him and fine him $300,000 for ethics violations.
Which they had no real reason to do.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
The GOP is still kowtowing and giving in to the leftists.

If I'm not mistaken, Gingrich offered to pay $300K to cover the expenses the House Ethics Committee incurred from investigating the one document that was submitted to the committee which contained incorrect information.
He was not "fined" anything, nor what he found to be in violation of any House Ethics Rules or of any crime. Additionally, the IRS investigated his enterprise and found that he had not violated any tax laws either.
Clearly the Establishment/Romney machine is making a desperate attack against Newt in an attempt to prevent him from being nominated.

83 ethic violations were found to be without merit and the 84th charge was dropped after a 31/2 yr investigation by the IRS.

Note to Ann: NO ROMNEY! EVER!! If she continues to push Mitt, I may suspend the ping list until after the primaries.
