“By the way, the one remaining ethics charge was proven invalid.”
Yes, and wasn’t that the one that the IRS took TWO YEARS to clear him on? Also, as I’ve heard several times, the $300k he paid was NOT a fine and Newt got screwed because of his lawyer’s erroneous wording in a letter that he didn’t proofread.
I really wish Newt would just give the excellent explanation you did (maybe in an ad) to educate the public and dispel all the rumors and misinformation floating around out there, especially because of the lies Mittens is spreading in both his smear ads & speeches.
There was no admission of wrongdoing by Newt. It wasn’t a fine. He agreed to pay the cost of the investigation.
