"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."
"Newt has done some things that have embarrassed House Republicans and embarrassed the House," said Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.). "If [the voters] see more of that, they will question our judgment."
"House Democrats are likely to continue to press other ethics charges against Gingrich and the Internal Revenue Service is looking into matters related to the case that came to an end yesterday."
A witch hunt? By whom? His own party? Gingrich admitted his guilt. He paid a $300,000 fine. The vote in the House was 395-28. The ethics committee voted 7-1. You are defending the indefensible.
No. I'm giving you the specific facts of the case. You're citing opinions.
As somebody pointed out up thread -- ah I think that was you -- one is entitled to their own opinion, not their own facts.
"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."
You're citing old propaganda. Newt was cleared on tax charges.
"House Democrats are likely to continue to press other ethics charges against Gingrich and the Internal Revenue Service is looking into matters related to the case that came to an end yesterday."
Ubelievable. Why are you citing ancient quotes? Further ethics charges were never filed and the IRS found NOTHING!
76 totals charges were filed against Newt. In the end all they got was one charge of false information, information that Newt repeatedly told the truth about, and then mistakenly answered the opposite one single time.
Do you understand what that means??
