He’s absolutely right. Unfortunately, it sounds like he has something to hide, and is trying to make sure she doesn’t reveal information he doesn’t want us to know.

Having done so, the question will now be asked of him — what information is she talking about? And since he was the subject of the investigation, there are no ethical problems with him sharing the information.

So she won’t have to reveal it. Just by disclosing that there IS information, Gingrich will have to disclose it, or else the media will go into a frenzy about what he is hiding and why. They will even speculate, and if he denies it, there will be calls for him to release the ethics committee to reveal the reports to PROVE that he isn’t lying now.

This is how the game is played. Gingrich is absolutely right that the ethics reports should never be leaked. But he’s running for a public office, and some voters will feel they have a right to know what was in those reports — or else they will just not vote for him.

Gingrich denounced Pelosi's threat as "a fundamental violation of the rules of the House," and said that if Pelosi were to disclose details of the investigation, it would expose the "tainted ethics process the House was engaged in." He also called for the House to condemn Pelosi if she were to reveal anything from the ethics probe.

You would think that someone like Newt would understand that ethics means NOTHING to the Left. Whatever it is it is coming out, he should count on that.

The problem for the Right has always been that we always think the Left will do the right thing.

Old Nance thinks she’s got Newt over a barrel. He turned the tables on her.

...is this the same woman who used her position as Speaker of the House to line her pockets by slowing/speeding up legislation?

I want to thank Speaker Pelosi for what I regard as an early Christmas gift

The Republicans will do a "tit for tat" if Pelosi spills the beans. I'm pretty sure this is why Pelosi backed off... members of her own party told her to shut her pie hole.
