Romney to Gingrich: Release Freddie Mac report
/ CBS
Gingrich has come under criticism for taking taxpayer money to allegedly lobby on behalf of Freddie Mac, an institution that is unpopular with conservatives.
The former House Speaker has denied lobbying, and said his firm merely provided "historical advice."
"[Gingrich] said he was an historian and just provided historical information," Romney told a crowd at his campaign headquarters. "Then he said he told them what they were doing was somehow not going to work.
"I'd like to see the report. We've got a Washington insider talking about Freddie Mac. Let's see what his report was to Freddie Mac, what he said to them, what advice he gave them."
Gingrich's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Now that money is free speech according to these anti-constitutional Supreme idiot corporatists, the richer you are the more free speech you have through the Super PACS for bribery and thievery of the public coffers.
Congratulations America!
Romney does not really understand business or law. The report would be the property of the client and Gingrich would violate that confidentiality if he released it.
Romney understands the above and is demonstrating how cavalier he would be about laws both domestic and international as President.
All of the above and Romney is desperate.
