No problem, give newt a few million he will make it go away.
Newt was feeding at the Fannie and Freddie trough soon after he left Congress -- at least $1.6 million worth.
| Excerpt: Gingrich’s first contract with the mortgage company was in 1999, five months after he resigned from Congress and as House speaker, according to a Freddie Mac press release. His primary contact inside the organization was Mitchell Delk, Freddie Mac’s chief lobbyist, and he was paid a self- renewing, monthly retainer of $25,000 to $30,000 between May 1999 until 2002, according to three people familiar with aspects of the business agreement. During that period, Gingrich consulted with Freddie Mac executives on a program to expand home ownership, an idea Delk said he pitched to President George W. Bush’s White House. |
He was so slimy that he didn't even register as a lobbyist. He knew (and still knows) the Washington lobbying ropes well. He was able to get around all the lobbying restrictions by framing himself as a "consultant."
The "consultant" garbage is classic Newt.
Please don't be fooled by him.
Newt is a snake-oil salesman, the ultimate insider and totally corrupt.
Newt stands for everything the Tea Party is fighting against.
We must fight against him.
