How about just cutting off the top part>

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.

Having no luck in convicting Newt on the 1st phony charge Bonior and his merry political henchmen continued fabricating circumstance and accusations for the next three years. Charge after charge would be leveled at Gingrich a total of 84.

Why were there so many charges with so little to show? It comes down to losers have a habit of losing and in this case there was collective cabal who excelled at losing and I’m not sure they didn’t actually feel some sense of empowerment for all their losses.

But they were and are still losers with no conscience. That’s the way of the world.

In the end it always about them and they will employ any self serving, win at all costs tactic to achieve their nirvana.

Too bad they really never got there otherwise they might feel even better about themselves

To cap off their outrageouse waste of taxpayer resources and monies on frivolous and unsubstantiated charges, Bill Clinton’s IRS was employed as weapon against Gingrich.

That concocted investigation, which by any standard was exhaustive, revealed only that Gingrich had, as stated in the 74 page report by the IRS:

“The taught principles from American civilization that could be used by each American in everyday life, whether the person is a welfare recipient, the head of a large corporation or a politician.” It said: “The course was not biased toward particular politicians, or a particular party. The facts show the class was much more than a political platform.”

That’s it? That’s all you got?

In the end, after pursuing a strategy of “If you look long enough, you can eventually find something wrong” strategy Gingrich was found guilty of “Engaging in conduct that did not reflect creditably on the House of Representatives.” That’s it? You have got to be kidding?

In 1998 the House dropped the remaining charges (83 of 84)! Amazing! Right! I mean here is a guy accused of just “so many violations” and they can’t manage to convict him?

In 1999, the IRS concluded Newt Gingrich had conducted a very thoughtful course that was well balanced(favored neither Republican nor Democrats), highly educational and violated no rules or laws of ethics, funding or tax laws.

The bottom line:

· Gingrich violated no laws.
