Newt Gingrich Cleared! Now How About a Refund?

Ethics Committee Drops Last of 84 Charges Against Gingrich, link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/govt/leadership/stories/101198.htm
Two very fact-based articles. The same things dems did to Sarah in Alaska. Newt was the first repub to be Palinized.
Cool; Newt’s version of fireside chats.
By not golfing?
Wow, that does it for me. Leroy really has no clue as to what being an executive entails. If Newt is the GOP nominee, I will either write in Palin again, or I will vote third party. Leroy the history professor has no business running anything.
Then, what did he pay a $300k fine for?
I guess you didn’t have time to read the articles (quotes in context):
link 2: “Gingrich is paying $300,000 for the costs of an ethics committee investigation... after admitting last year he made inaccurate statements during a lengthy probe into Democratic allegations that he misused tax-exempt donations. Gingrich denied the charges but submitted to a reprimand by the House.”
link 1: “The second ‘charge’ from the committee is that, in the course of the investigation, Newt provided false information to the committee. And what was this “false information?” Newt testified that the above contributions were in fact made by those organizations to “Renewing American Civilization.” He filed papers that stated the very same thing. This is never a fact that anyone was trying to hide. But one paper filed with the committee stated that those groups did not make the contributions. For this, there was an uproar about Newt’s ethics, and he was fined.
Basically, Newt was fined $300,000 because he didn’t read his lawyers’ documents carefully.”
Click Click! Have a Great Thanksgiving - and next time do your homework!
Should Gingrich end up winning, you really might want to think about signing up for that class of his.
