And for others who don’t know, Gingrich committed no crime or rules violation.

From the article...

"Exactly one month before yesterday's vote, Gingrich admitted that he brought discredit to the House and broke its rules by failing to ensure that financing for two projects would not violate federal tax law and by giving the House ethics committee false information."

So did he admit wrong doing and lying about it or didn't he?

No, as a matter of fact - he didn’t. The IRS found him not guilty of the charge.

after a 3.5 year probe, after Newt paid the $300,000 fine, the IRS announced on February 3, 1999, that it found NO IMPROPRIETIES IN THE TAX FILINGS of Gingrich and the sponsoring Progress and Freedom Foundation. The IRS said the principles taught in the course were not of use only in political campaigns. “The ... course taught principles from American civilization that could be used by each American in everyday life whether the person is a welfare recipient, the head of a large corporation, or a politician.”

Tuck that away somewhere so’s you won’t be tempted to carry water for the dems and Establishment republicans, like this thread poster and others are doing.
