Newt Gingrich Admits He Hired Experts To Help Avoid Lobbyist Registration (VIDEO)

That he hired lobbying disclosure experts study the regulations and advise him of what he could and couldn't do in order to legally avoid registering as a lobbyist.

I smell another Colbert/Stewart smackdown coming.

Newt is a master when it comes to throwing red meat to the base.

Hard-core conservatives will give Newtie a pass on anything because they love that red meat.

Everybody else knows better.

For sure, Newt is consistent.

There's a reason why he got booted out of the speaker's chair---because he was TOO crooked.

I hope the hard-core conservatives remember that, when they're noshing on the red meat Newt throws them, they're being distracted from the fact their Golden Boy is a crook.

I know...but without hope, where are we? :}

The cat's out of the bag! Love it!

Now he needs to own up about his ethics charges....we aren't deaf dumb and blind Newt...oh wait a minute...

Gingrich is absolutely covered in slime.

He is the quintessential DC insider.

When you have to ask a lawyer- "How much lobbying can I do before I have to register as a lobbyist" - you have already lost the battle on that one. Not unlike the Bush - " How much can we torture before you have to call it torture?"

And yet - despite his lawyers, he was influence peddling!!!!

They (Romney and Gingrich) are too creepy to be President.

You have one with about as much morals as many locked up in McNeil Island, and you have the other that has pandered so many groups in so many ways, you don't know if he is real or a figment of your imagination.

I'm sure all the other Republican candidates for Congress and Senate are hoping this ends soon.

How can I lobby without registering as a lobbyist? Just go in the back door and not through the lobby. How can I coordinate with the super-Pac without coordinating? Just raise a few million dollars and we'll figure it out later.

So, in Newt analogy, if a person hires an assassin to kill another because he does not have the guts to do the deed and this assassin did it, it then implies that the hirer is not guilty because he did not do it himself and let somebody else do the dirty work?

The GOP doesn't care if he sold crack cocaine to Sunday School kids...so long as he goes on stage and says how much he hates President Obama he's in good standing!

At this point Newt could have sex with his admin assistant and Mitt's admin and still be the GOP frontrunner - they simply do not care what he's done or does so long as the hate keeps coming!

All this to avoid being label a knobbiest when still being a knobbiest. So what we have is the 1%ter and the chief knobbiest for the 1%ter

living life by the thinnest technicality, must be so rewarding, way to aim high Newt. /s too bad he can't fake being offended by it.

Did you see that picture of the old fart who is a billionaire that supplies Newt with money. He is from Nevada. He is pumping money into Newt campaign left and right.
