Then Newt ought to release what he can -- billing procedures and rates come to mind -- and explain in detail why he can't release what he can't and petition Freddie for waivers.

Do it now. If he should become the nominee it's not going away in the general unless he starts taking these steps.

His relationship with Freddie Mac and the way he has dealt with it is one of the big reasons I crossed him off my list.

He has said quite a bit. Some of it is upthread.

So you’ve crossed Newt off based on LSM mantras about Freddie, an organization he recommended needed MORE regulation and should not be bailed out? What, he should have recommended the opposite?

The level of discourse on the part of Newt bashers on this thread is convincing me to vote FOR Newt.

PS Every consulting agreement I have signed explicitly includes NOT disclosing billing rates except as required by law (eg total amount for taxes and the like). Most have included a clause about not even disclosing who I was doing the consulting for or the existence of the consulting. And I have signed dozens.
