Smart move! Leaves the opposition to whine and speculate.
Consulting for Freddie Mac at $177K per year, is something quite short of “scandal”.

Newt needs to convince the voters that there is nothing behind this $1.6M consulting services gig, not his opponents.

If there is nothing more to his consult than his suggesting that the Freddie plan was a bad one then why all the fuss?

Something is rotten in Denmark, as Newt’s ancestors would more than likely say.

The scandal isn't consulting. There's no shame in that. The scandal is that he took the job to convince conservatives that Fannie Mae's housing policies were good for the nation.
