I just hope we are not digging up stuff on any candidate that the left will use against us.

That's why Newt has the best of ideas. Lets attack zero not ourselves. Its worked for him.

The MSM is already doing the digging along with the Dems. I suspect that we will be learning a lot more about Newt in the upcoming days. Here is something the WP put out a few days ago;

FBI considered a sting aimed at Newt Gingrich in 1997 It is a curious case in the annals of the FBI: The bureau considered a sting operation against then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich after sifting through allegations from a notorious arms dealer that a $10 million bribe might get Congress to lift the Iraqi arms embargo.

The FBI ended up calling off the operation in June 1997. It decided there was no evidence that Gingrich knew anything about the conversations the arms dealer was secretly recording with a man who said he was acting on behalf of Gingrich’s then-wife, Marianne, according to people with knowledge of the investigation.

But details of the case, which became public this week in an article and documents posted online by a nonprofit journalist, show how a series of second- and third-hand conversations alleging that the top man in Congress might be for sale caught the attention of federal investigators.

“There are so many falsehoods,” Marianne Gingrich said Thursday. “The FBI, they should have been protecting me, not going after me. This is scary stuff.”
