Blast from the past…
Here is a list of what Newt Gingrich’s Republican dominated Ethics Committee found:
It found Gingrich violated a rule prohibiting use of official resources for unofficial purposes when he let a political adviser, Joseph Gaylord, use his congressional office. The Committee recommended no punishment.
It found Gingrich misused his floor privileges in House speeches by giving out a toll-free number to order partisan political materials. The Committee recommended no punishment.
It found Gingrich used floor speeches to publicize a nationwide town meeting sponsored by his partisan organization, GOPAC. The committee recommended no punishment.
It found Gingrich violated House rules when he let Donald Jones, a telecommunications entrepreneur use his congressional office for lobbying purposes. The committee recommended no punishment.
It found Gingrich lied to the committee both verbally and in signed documents on thirteen separate occasions. The committee recommended he plea bargain.
Any single one of those crimes is more serious than any hummer ever given by anyone at anytime, or lying about it.
