His previous work as a consultant for Freddy/Fanny is documented and he personally received $35K for his services.
Concern yourself with the bonuses paid to CEO's like Franklin Raines for example, to the tune of $65,000,000. Newt Gingrich's %35,000 per year for 4 years is chump change, but he earned it.
He released his Tax Returns. Check them out.
Where are Santorum's tax returns? He became a millionaire shortly after getting booted from office. How did he accomplish that?
The circular firing squad is getting old. Both Newt and Santorum are our best options but just because you like one doesn’t mean we have to destroy the other.
Oh, and by the way, Santorum’s income is petty well known. After he left the Senate, he started working on the Board of Directors of a hospital conglomerate Universal Health Services and was also a consultant for Consol Energy.
Former Senators and Congressmen are often tapped for these type of positions because they can help companies navigate federal regulation and predict how government actions will effect their industry.
Neither Newt nor Santorum have nefarious income streams.
And the product produced by these businesses is what? Accounting services? Useful software? Manufactured goods? NO? Oh yea, it's "history lessons". Right. No corruption to see here. Just an ex speaker of the House selling $1.6 million history lessons. sure. Who could doubt that?
I'll ask you again. Where is the $1.6 million? Who's bank account is it in? If it's a company, who owns that company? And does it really matter to the victims if the thief that stole $1.6 million from them gave most of it to his friends; maybe his friends at Tiffani's?
It is perfectly clear that Newt Gingrich entered into a conspiracy to defraud the taxpayers and profited to the tune of $1.6 million. Listening to his lame attempts to explain the sleazy arrangement away makes it all the more obvious. In a perfectly just world he, and his conspirators at FM, would get 5-10 at club fed and be forced to repay the stolen money.
I'm sure scared about when Jim gets home. Should I wait in my room?
