Those are reasonable questions except this one:
“Further, Newt should say why GSE’s should be able to bind consultants on governmental policy to non-disclosure agreements. What IP are they trying to protect? What competitors do they want to keep from getting a strategic advantage?”
That’s a question for the GSEs. The fact is they can. Why should Newt have to explain that?!
Because he's running for President.
Anyway, if you give him half a chance I suspect he probably will.
The Greta interview makes me feel much better about him.
