I want to know the specifics of Gingrichs consulting work with Freddie Mac. I want to know how much he billed per hour. After all, he was paid with Tax Payer dollars.
And if he becomes the nominee, you can bet the folks in Freddie Mac, with Zeros push, will spill all the sleezy details. Best to get the details out now.
Specifics of what Gingrich's work for Freddie was for were reported in a Bloomberg story weeks ago.
He was asked to provide them with a list of Republicans on Capitol Hill that potentially would be supportive of them. They were under threat of increased regulation and scrutiny at the time.
He was also asked to provide written material that could be circulated amongst conservatives to help garner their support.

The legal definition of lobbying includes:
“including preparation or planning activities, research and other background work that is intended, at the time of its preparation, for use in contacts and coordination with the lobbying activities of others”
Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...
The Democrats would unload on him on this issue.
When I heard it in the debate, I searched the web.

So he wasn’t lobbying for Freddie and Fannie he was teaching them how to lobby for themselves.
