What was he consulting them to do?? He has yet to answer that question to my satisfaction.
Exactly. Newt tries to say he was telling Freddie Mac that they were going down the wrong path, but let's think about that. If that's what his advice to them was, they obviously didn't follow it, so then why would they have been paying him million$ over the course of 7+ years for him to give them advice that they ignored? Makes ZERO sense and Newt has ZERO credibility when it comes to the economy as far as I'm concerned.
Insiders from Freddie Mac have made it very clear that Newt never did any such thing. He never warned them, if he was not a lobbyist, what was he doing that earned him 1.6 million dollars? I don't know why he is not pressed for an answer on this. I would be on that like a wet blanket.
It's something he has no answer for and it's something that I think will ultimately knock him out of the race. It is at the center of the critical issue in this election cycle and totally discredits Newt. It's not really a matter of if but when it will be used to finish him.
