Newt was accused of:

•83 counts of Ethics Violations. None of which stuck because they were trumped up and phony charges to begin with
•Lying to the Ethics Counsel.( The charge was later amended to something less significant ) One minor charge in which Newt had his lawyer write some letter that wasn’t fully complete in it’s response to a demand by the Ethics Committee and Newt didn’t read it before signing it and having it sent. He later corrected the error.
•Tax fraud. The IRS didn’t just conclude he had done nothing wrong they went further and extolled that the class was something that every American would find valuable as a civics lesson.

That’s it? That’s all you got?

The bottom line:

•Gingrich violated no laws. Remember, there were over a course of three year 83 charges of ethics violations and none of the accusations bore any fruit.
•There was no tax fraud scheme. The IRS concluded the course that animated this whole BS was, in fact, a very good civic lesson to anyone who completed the course but that’s not a crime.
•Only one minor charge of dubious construction was admitted to. “Engaging in conduct that did not reflect creditably on the House of Representatives”.

There you go!

I’ll try that in a few days.

Had to git this off my desk and I kept researching and thinking “Hell, this actually a pretty cool story and someone should write a book”.

Shouldn’t be me though.

Thanks.
