Rick mentioned last week that he, Rick was one of the ones that pushed the banking fraud investigation that cause many from both parties to be replaced. He confronted Newt who acknowledged he new it was going on. Newt was not involved, but didn't join the rightful accusers. (according to Rick)
Maybe he had bigger fish to fry. He was targeted by someone to remove him. All charges against Knewt were false. It was more than his managerial technique. Knewt knows something that will bring those against him down.
Hope he appoints Rick AG to go after congress critters.
Thanks for the info, hossiermama. Could make for some interesting dynamics in DC.
