Newt Gingrich was under FBI investigation for bribery

Quote:
Little known to the American public Newt Gingrich and his then wife Marianne were the subject of a US Justice Department criminal investigation in the late 1990s involving a $10 million bribe of the world’s largest private arms dealer, Sarkis Soghanalia
Take a peek inside Newt's 10-ton baggage. The zipper is being opened bit by bit.

Unaware that Soghanalian was an FBI informant, it is alleged that Marianne Gingrich whilst working for the Israel Export Development Corporation (IEDC) tried to facilitate a bribe to the tune of $10 million so that her husband could use his influence to lift the arms embargo against Iraq in order for Soghanalian to collect an outstanding payment of $54 million from Saddam Hussein.

Well, color me shocked! I saw a news analyist say that Gingrich embodies all 7 of the Deadly Sins. Very appropriate.

The Seven Deadly Sins

Pride, avarice, envy, sloth, anger, lust and gluttony...yep, definitely accurate. Wonder who called off the investigation?

This might be a smidgeon of what Nancy Pelosi was hinting at in that big ole file they got.

I'm sure if his baggage were unpacked , we would find Newt ready for a perfect fitting Orange jumpsuit. My question is if anyone has the nads to follow through. Seems they always protect their own... I'm sure in order to have their A$$'s saved when they are uncovered.

He probably has just as much he can tell on them. Aren't politics lovely?
