Pelosi’s office says she doesn’t have any new dirt on Newt Gingrich
The Hill ^ | 01/25/12 11:57 AM ET | Daniel Strauss

Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s office on Wednesday said the minority leader doesn’t have any dirt on Newt Gingrich.

Pelosi has suggested in two interviews that she knows something that could prevent Gingrich from becoming president, but her office said the California Democrat doesn’t have any secrets about Gingrich, who has shot to the top of national Republican polls after winning the South Carolina primary.

"The 'something' Leader Pelosi knows is that Newt Gingrich will not be President of the United States. She made that clear last night," Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said in a statement.

"Leader Pelosi previously made a reference to the extensive amount of information that is in the public record, including the comprehensive committee report with which the public may not be fully aware,” Hammill said.

Pelosi made headlines on Tuesday when she told CNN Gingrich would not be president, and that “there’s something I know.”

In an interview in December, Pelosi also drew attention by suggesting there was information that could come out of her office that could damage Gingrich. Pelosi suggested it was related to the House ethics investigation of Gingrich; Pelosi served on the panel looking into Gingrich.

“One of these days we’ll have a conversation about Newt Gingrich," Pelosi said at the time. “When the time is right. … I know a lot about him. I served on the investigative committee that investigated him, four of us locked in a room in an undisclosed location for a year. A thousand pages of his stuff.”

She found out that Newt was going to bust her if she let it out.

It will come out perhaps ,but it will be leaked from somewhere else.

If you see the video of her making this assertion, she looks quite insane.

Couple that, with a comment another freeper made....

Several others have touched on this, but here goes. Many said that 9-11 happened in part because of a ‘failure of imagination.’ Consider this: Nancy *didn’t* say she knew something about Newt. Well, what if she knows that martial law will be imposed before the election? Or that a coup will be complete by then? I hope this line of reasoning is wrong, but....

With regard to Pelosi, I wish Gingrich would just say something like: “Anyone who has attained the position of Speaker of the House, and then tells the American people in all seriousness that ‘we must pass the bill so we can find out what’s in it,’ is not someone that American voters should ever take seriously about anything.”

I bet Newt has some dirt on Pelosi. It couldn’t be that hard to get.

Like another freeper said, wow. 1000 pages in a year. 3 pages a day. Must have been pretty heavy reading. Ten year olds read that many pages of Harry potter in one day.

Leader Pelosi

LOL! This sounds so funny. I guess she needs a title to make her feel important.

I wondered about either extortion or libel? Whatever it is they staff is running backwards as fast as they can.

She is a tool, a vehicle for the liberal fantasies of her staff. Clearly crazy as a loon still dangerous when wounded.

I figured Newt would have just as much on her.

I hope it’s more than “she has had plastic surgery”, because that would be no bombshell.

Either the Botox does her in or she is going senile and forgets that it is again the law to do this when she is sworn to secrecy and must be reminded.

I would not be too sure of this. It is not like Newt is beyond having any dirt. I think they know something about him, and they are waiting to see if he is a “lock” before they trash him and usher in a 2nd term for the Antichrist.

Nancy Pelosi is a dunce. She assumed that as usual no one would call her on a blatant bluff and the media would carry on her lie! I wish someone would beat her in her Congressional Race or Primary her.....Sadly with the people in her district Congress would get someone as bad or worse!!!!

I'm shocked. /s

Newt called her bluff and it was revealed to be just that.

Romney would've been cowed, afraid there was something he didn't know about.

Nancy BLINKED first.

Of course I meant that she blinked FIGURATIVELY.

On most days the BOTOX will not allow her to blink literally.
