Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich rebuked House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi for suggesting she would offer details of a 1990s ethics probe against him if he becomes the Republican presidential nominee.
Gingrich, who was reprimanded by the House in 1997 after an ethics investigation, said members of Congress should bring charges against Pelosi, herself a former speaker, if she follows through on airing aspects of the probe.
“I want to thank Speaker Pelosi for what I regard as an early Christmas gift,” said Gingrich, taking questions from reporters in New York after meeting yesterday with real estate developer Donald Trump. “It tells you how capriciously political that committee was that she was on it. It tells you how tainted the outcome was that she was on it.”
Pelosi, a California Democrat, told the website Talking Points Memo Dec. 2 that she relished the possibility that Gingrich, who is rising in the polls, might become the Republican nominee.
“One of these days we’ll have a conversation about Newt Gingrich,” she said. “I know a lot about him. I served on the investigative committee that investigated him, four of us locked in a room in an undisclosed location for a year. A thousand pages of his stuff.”

That sounds like a case of Black mail to me, and merits being looked into.

Yep, closed doors and wasting a year of tax payer money …
If Pelosi does release the information she should be prosecuted for her actions. She is trying to blackmail Gingrich and if she follows through on her threat, that should convince everyone just how low the Democrats will sink to hold onto power and control.
This is all hype to get us to forget what he did while speaker of the house. They are not scared of him, he is on their side. He was then and he is now. I do not trust him, I remember him well. Also he balanced the budget using our social security. Gave us IOU's. That is one of the reasons Social security is broke. Made Clinton look good didn't it. Wake up. He is another NWO.
Hay Newt, ask hillary clinton to release the dirt she has on obozo.
One of these days, we will have to have a talk about the hag, signing off on the puke in our oval office, the old bag and bozo should both be hauled off in handcuffs. As far as I'm concerned that's nothing but out and out blackmail!!!!
I say hang pelosi. She needs to go. She need her hands cut off and her tongue cut out. What a hate filled bitch.
