I'm not even sure if Newt was working there at the time their problems developed

Gingrich worked for Fannie/Freddie until 2007, well after it was obvious to anyone with a brain the problems their policies were creating. The destructive policies of Fannie/Freddie were not in existence when Reagan was president and Gingrich, as a historian, I'm sure knew that.

You seem to have a propensity to attack Gingrich on the housing crisis. Do you have anything to say about Barney Frank?

And as stated, your omission of facts create an admission of spin and falsehood.

Gingrich did not “work for” Fannie/Freddie. Newt clearly stated his services were requested for advice. He does not work for free. Do you?

Newt clearly stated he ‘advised against’ the very thing they later did. In other words, his advice was ignored and those who consulted him went barreling ahead with their own bad plan.
