Nancy Pelosi Says Newt Gingrich Will Never Be President: ‘There’s Something I Know’

Video
» 147 comments

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi sat down with CNN’s John King, to whom she hinted about knowing “something” about former House Speaker Newt Gingrich that makes her certain he’ll never be president.

King brought up how Gingrich has described the ethics committee investigation against him as a “partisan vendetta led by Democrats,” to which Pelosi responded that it was a “sad time” during a Republican-controlled Congress. Where the investigation against him is concerned, she added, the “public record speaks for itself.”

She also tackled what King described as a “revisionist” version of how he left the Speakership. “I wasn’t going to hang around,” Gingrich recently said, “like Nancy did.” Pelosi responded with laughter. “Putting it on somebody else. It’s vintage projection, projection, projection,” she said. “He would loved to have stayed, he just didn’t have the support in the caucus to do so.”

King then asked what goes through Pelosi’s mind when she thinks of the possibility that Gingrich could become president. Her response was exceptionally frank:

Let me just say this: that will never happen. He’s not going to be president of the United States. This is… That’s not going to happen. Let me just make my prediction instead by… it isn’t going to happen. There’s something I know. The Republicans, if they choose to nominate him, that’s their prerogative.

Oooooo NANCY!

    Sounds like an intelligent statement. Where is the veiled threat?

    ****

    It’s not a veiled threat – it’s a threat.

    If Newt becomes the Nominee, she says she will drop the bomb on him…. 

    Last month when she brought this up, she was reminded that her actions were illegal. Not sure what she is talking about, but it kind of sounds a little like blackmail to me.

    He says he doesn’t know what she is talking about. If she does have something, and he knows, he should drop out (not hope and wait, a la Edwards).

    And if she does have something, she should spill it, or shut up already. Besides sounding a wee bit like blackmail, it almost sounds like it could be abuse of her power – to be privy to private info, and dangle the threat out there, repeatedly.

    has any idea what she’s talking about, but bring it on,” he said.

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    For the sake of argument, let’s be rational and look at what we have.

    Newton Leroy was alleged to have engaged in a very broad pattern of unethical conduct.
    Those allegations resulted in what Newton Leroy has framed as a plea bargain on one charge.
    Not only was there a plea by Newton Leroy, but also the payment of over US $300,000.00. which he deems reimbursement of attorney’s fees for the committee, which it may well be but which seems to be couched in terms of a fine (perhaps for purely legalistic reasons).
    Representative Pelosi was lead member of the panel and undoubtedly knows of all of the specifics of the allegations.
    Ms. Pelosi’s efforts were supported by the vast majority of Newton Leroy’s Republican colleagues.
    Newton Leroy was duly and properly sanctioned.
    In various contexts, bits and pieces of the report have been “outed” by Newton Leroy as a shield against attacks by others and as a sword wielded by him against others.
    Likely, confidentiality has been broken.
    This is yet another Newton Leroy time bomb. So far, it has restrained Newton Leroy from even more bizarre lies about his devastating time of House leadership. He has been checked so far.
    Newton Leroy has been given the opportunity to avoid being check-mated.
    The decision is Newton Leroy’s to make.
    That Newton Leroy might make the wrong decision is highly likely.*

    I think you extreme rightists should be pleased that you have this information to evaluate your choices. Instead, you extreme rightists bleat, kvetch, moan and whine, as usual.
     —
    *Perhaps, the stress of the decision might even drive Newton Leroy into yet another adulterous affair. Since Wife #3 supports open marriage, this shouldn’t present a problem for anyone.

    http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/article/what-really-happened-gingrich-ethics-case/336051
    Given all the attention to the ethics matter, it’s worth asking what actually happened back in 1995, 1996, and 1997.  The Gingrich case was extraordinarily complex, intensely partisan, and driven in no small way by a personal vendetta on the part of one of Gingrich’s former political opponents. It received saturation coverage in the press; a database search of major media outlets revealed more than 10,000 references to Gingrich’s ethics problems during the six months leading to his reprimand.  It ended with a special counsel hired by the House Ethics Committee holding Gingrich to an astonishingly strict standard of behavior, after which Gingrich in essence pled guilty to two minor offenses.  Afterwards, the case was referred to the Internal Revenue Service, which conducted an exhaustive investigation into the matter.  And then, after it was all over and Gingrich was out of office, the IRS concluded that Gingrich did nothing wrong.  After all the struggle, Gingrich was exonerated.

  • Geezer

    This makes no sense.  If Pelosi had something on Gingrich and had any sense she would keep her mouth shut until he was nominated and THEN quiet put it out — guaranteeing her side a win.

    Now if anything comes out about Newt and his time as Speaker — she immediately comes under suspicion as having violated House rules.

    Only two possibilities — she has nothing and is running off at the (very tight) mouth or

    She is even dumber than she looks.

    Obama’s pattern, thanks to Jarrett, Axelrod and Plouffe is to “clear the field,” no matter the truth or falsity of the allegations against his possible opponents. Remember how they KNEECAPPED Herman Cain? (Yeah, I have no doubts that the information was “leaked” by Obama surrogates.) They are the most vicious, slanderous political operatives on the planet, making Lee Atwater look like a choir boy.

    Nancy Pelosi has no trouble telling lies or doing damage to the country while enriching herself and her family. Why would she be interested in telling the truth about ANY Republican? 

    As one person on another blog said, she’s been upset since the house fell on her sister and she’s unleashing the flying monkeys!

    Actually, Ditzy, the IRS cannot exonerate anyone of an ethics complaint. Only the House could do that, and clearly there was little interest to do so. You have to remember that Newton Leroy was widely despised by the House Republicans, especially the Contract on America (then recently elected) House Republicans.

    Resigned In Disgrace

    Gather round all you children, gather round, hear this story
    About the fall of a politician at the height of his glory
    He resigned in disgrace
    Now he’s back in the race
    And if we fall for his lies, it’s America’s Momento Mori!

    Let’s hark back to the year 1994
    When Republicans won like they hadn’t before
    He was Speaker of the House
    (and a horrible spouse!)
    But his ethics were something no one could ignore.

    In those days the congress just did as they please
    Graft and check kiting were a rampant disease
    They all wrote bad checks
    And had scurrilous sex
    Without any fear of the authorities

    Now our subject, the Speaker, was quite the hypocrite
    He campaigned against corruption, while reveling in it
    He took the bold stance
    To audit Congress’s finance
    And that’s where Newt Gingrich, stepped in his own $#!+.

    The Ethics Committee looked into Speaker Newt
    To try to find out just how he fenced all his loot.
    They saw thousands of pages
    Of Gingrich outrages
    And when they asked why, the Speaker lied, or went mute.

    There were lots of scandals in Newts financial trunk
    The more they dug into it, the more that it stunk!
    But Congress  sanctions their own
    When they’re bad to the bone
    ‘Cause if they didn’t, Newt would be a cellblock punk!

    Newt got slapped on the wrist with a $300,000 fine
    For his  multiple scams that were over the line.
    It was “intentional and reckless”,
    Newt had proven himself feckless,
    And after the next election, he was forced to resign.

    It’s hard to imagine the size of balls it would take
    To run for the Presidency as a sanctioned ethical snake.
    He needs to be scorned,
    And now you’re forewarned
    That nominating Newt would be a disastrous mistake!

    Newton may have been exonerated from a legal standpoint (only as regards tax matters, by the IRS), but he clearly was proved to be a skunk. His own party wouldn’t stand behind it’s leader, and still won’t! 

    When one pleads guilty, even to two minor offenses, it means one acknowledges he IS guilty. Otherwise, he’d plead no contest. Notice that the current GOP leadership is not exactly standing up for him. They know him too well. As far as Pelosi’s threats, she’s pretty smart about these things. She won’t pull the trigger unless she has to. In fact, I think she hopes he gets the nomination so that she can be the one to assure Obama a second term. Why should she put it out there now if it’s more useful to do so later? Why should she spend the political capital if she doesn’t need to? If Mittens should win, she can save it for another day. If Newt wins, she can use it when it will have the most impact. She knows what she’s doing.

    Nancy Pelosi’s evil mind games
    This is the ultimate mind game, trying to pick our nominee without actually having to put up any information.Would Nancy Pelosi lie for political gain?  You betcha.  She accused the CIA of lying to Congress about waterboarding, even though the records showed she was briefed and her prior public statements contradicted her.  She also is a malicious person who led the charge to demean the Tea Party movement as un-American.I don’t know if Pelosi has something or not — that’s the evil of her statement as it casts non-disprovable doubts — but I do know that Pelosi is someone who has done irreparable damage to this country and is a caricature of everything that is wrong with our political system.Anti-Newt Republicans should not embrace her ploy, although I’m sure many will.

    My dear, the report and the attendant circumstances may allow reasonable people to draw differing conclusions, but I have long had a solid grasp of this particular matter. It has long been a matter of some interest to me as I have long thought Newton Leroy a particularly odious and loathsome sort of man. Attack my conclusions freely, if you will. That is often a very good learning experience. Don’t attack my knowledge on this matter, however.

    She did very well if you’re a democrat. She consistently delivered for her president. Look at the healthcare bill. She brought it in on time. It was always the Senate that couldn’t get their shit together. Here’s a list:

You can whine and kick and cry that they’re bad ideas, but you CAN’T say she didn’t kick your collective republican butts. And I, for one expect she’ll do it again if given the chance.

    I just did read the whole article and it looks like from the reporting, that Newt was right. It was also interesting to note that CNN was the only one who covered it when he was exonerated by the IRS.  I still wonder why he would cop to the 2 minor offenses, what with his big ego and such. If he truly believed he was within the law, why not fight it?

    I am childhood friends with someone who works as a very successful Democratic political consultant. As a young man, he worked on the McGovern campaign and has known Clinton since then.

    When Clinton ran for the Presidency, I called my friend and said that Clinton would win the nomination. My friend laughed at me at first and told me that there was “no way” Clinton could be nominated- he had too many sexual scandals that could easily be hung around his neck. He hated the guy and thought he was both a sleazeball and an incredible opportunist and couldn’t win the nomination. 

    History proved my friend very wrong. (And, yes, he has orchestrated winning campaigns over many years and has made a very successful and lucrative career for himself.

    King defended himself for thehard question he asked Newt about the ex.  King sat there when Pelosi made her remark….where was his hard question:

    “Ms. Pelosi, these are outrageous comments from you, you are essentially blackmailing Newt by making these kind of comments, don’t you think you should be more truthful with thepublic?  Ifyou have information, release it, ifyou don’t then don’t you think you should just shut up??”

    But alas, Pelosi is a dem, so King will just sit there and go gaga and not questions her.

    pathetic CNN, it is no wonder fewer and fewer people are watching.

    I actually wouldn’t be surprised if she did have something… but couldn’t say it for reasons of House rules. That said, she may be willing to violate those rules, and resign directly after (figuring they either won’t actually bring charges, or even if they do, she’ll be so old who cares).

    Nancy is a partisan first, and a human second… so destroying someone for political gain, isn’t really a big deal to her.

    The risk is, of course, that if she attempts to land this punch, and it doesn’t make a dent (for one reason or another), she and the Democrats will look like fools. And if all this happens, and she backs off her claim, then she’ll just appear a coward. There is a fair amount of personal risk in this strategy of hers.

    I did read the whole article, and many before it. It seems YOU are the only one who wasn’t aware of these allegations when they happened. Perhaps that’s because you were still in junior high school. Newt was guilty of ethics violations. He  knew he was guilty and he knew he could count on no support from his own party. He slinked away like the low life that he is. The IRS decided not to prosecute, but their report never said he did nothing wrong. It said they could not be sure that they had enough proof to pursue it. And, as stated over and over, upthread and down, that did not apply to ETHICS VIOLATIONS, only to the tax issues. 

    But don’t listen to me, you guys go right ahead and nominate him. What’s the worst that could happen? Newt’s ethics, his honor and his standards are beyond reproach, right? Pelosi’s bluffing, right? Or, whatever she has, it could only be something from the confidential files of the ethics panel, so even if she should release it, SHE’LL go down with him, right? 

    Republicans! You know what you must do! Vote for Newt! He won’t let you down again!

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    This is a key fact, taken from your precious article,
    Ditzy:

    “In January, 1997, Gingrich agreed to make a limited confession of
    wrongdoing in which he pleaded guilty to the previously unknown offense
    of failing to seek sufficiently detailed advice from a tax lawyer before
    proceeding with the course.  (Gingrich had in fact sought advice from
    two such lawyers in relation to the course.)   Gingrich also admitted
    that he had provided “inaccurate, incomplete, and unreliable”
    information to Ethics Committee investigators.  That “inaccurate”
    information was Gingrich’s contention that the course was not political
    – a claim Cole and the committee did not accept, but the IRS later
    would.
    In return for those admissions, the House reprimanded Gingrich and levied an unprecedented $300,000 fine.”

    Add to that this discipline was the first time a Speaker had ever been disciplined and that the vote to discipline was 395-28. Only 26 Republicans voted not to discipline Newton Leroy. (WP 22 January 1997)

    Lastly, you do realize that your article is an opinion piece/commentary, and not a news article? Did you see who wrote the piece? Do his conclusions really surprise you?

    “And the Romney campaign didn’t waste any time, sending out a mass e-mail quoting Pelosi as well as Romney attacking Newt on Fox & Friends about Pelosi’s statement.”

    “Here’s the e-mail (click to enlarge):

    “Newt sat on a couch with Pelosi. The Romney campaign is getting in bed with her.”

    “Update:  Just as the Romney campaign was seeking to use Pelosi’s threat, Pelosi was backing off.” Pelosi’s office says she has no new dirt on ex-Speaker Newt Gingrich (h/t Weasel Zippers):”

     ”The ‘something’ Leader Pelosi knows is that Newt Gingrich will not be President of the United States. She made that clear last night,” Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said in a statement….But on Wednesday, Hammill repeated that all of the information from the investigation is in the public realm.”

    I’ve not been following the Gingrich Chronicles very closely, but I’ve been an admirer of Nancy Pelosi for many years now, and contrary to all the hatred and vile comments directed at her by the rightwing dupes, she has more than survived these onslaughts, and will probably go down as the most successful Congressional Democrat leader after Tip O’Neill. (I can almost hear rightwing blood boiling and feel the daggers directed at me by the people who have been eating the anti-Pelosi red meat thrown at them by their masters). Gingrich is a bad joke who will, like the rest of the presidential clowns on parade, go down in flames. There’s no way that Pelosi would say something as outrageous as she said about Gingrich unless she knew what she was talking about. I’ll incite you a bit more by saying that all politicians lie, but Republicans are much more proficient at it than Democrats. Gingrich is one of the cleverest liars of all.

    Wow.  Pelosi knows something.  First of all that is an oxymoron.  Second, there is not a more prolific liar than Pelosi.  Remember the attacks on Pres. Bush over the wiretaps.  She kept on and on and on lying until the signin sheets were produced that showed she was in all the briefings done on the subject.  How about stupidity.  “We have to pass this bill so the American people will know whats in it.” referring to Obamacare.  Yah, her word needs to be heard. OMG.  stupid at its most profound.

    thanks for confirming his “conviction” was nothing more than a partisan witch hunt… 

    as i explained elsewhere here…  the house is the umpire, newt is a batter and the irs is major league baseball…  newt hits one out of the park and the house calls foul ball…  newt’s team loses…  then mlb says, oops, sorry, it was a home run, but your team still loses…  sell your technicalities to the tourists…

    Oh no- Nancy was just lying!!

    You libs are so stupid.

    “Nancy Pelosi’s office today suggested the former Speaker of the House
    never meant to imply she knows something about Newt Gingrich that no one else knows.
    In other words, she has no new dirt. Her spokesman claims that, by her
    teasing comments, Pelosi just meant to say her intimate familiarity with
    his past convinces her that he will never be president.”

    The Hill reports:

    “The ‘something’ Leader Pelosi knows is that Newt
    Gingrich will not be President of the United States. She made that clear
    last night,” Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said in a statement.
    “Leader Pelosi previously made a reference to the extensive amount of
    information that is in the public record, including the comprehensive
    committee report with which the public may not be fully aware,” Hammill
    said.

    Maybe Newt and Nancy did more on that couch than we’ve been told.
    Good luck proving it Nancy….unless you got a stain on your dress.
    BTW…What were those “senile” noises Pelosi was mumbling into the microphone at the retirement of Gabby Giffords…as the Congress applauded.
    My great grandmother used to do that after she got Alzheimers.

    corrupt, crazy pelsoi is, once again, so drunk even she doesn’t know what she’s saying.

    While she mis-served as THE WORST SPEAKER IN AMERICAN HISTORY, we taxpayers shelled out more than $10,000 PER MONTH for crazy pelosi’s liquor tab!  (Not to mention the $18,736 PER MONTH we payed for her San Francisco office, plus the hundreds of thousands for her constant use of huge military jets for her, and her family members’, personal transport. And then there’s the more than $5 TRILLION in increased American debt she wasted.)  One thing we can deduce from that: crazy pelosi is almost ALWAYS drunk as a skunk, so we can expect her to make as much sense as charlie sheen in her statements. What’s most amazing, of course, is that she can ever make a statement WITHOUT FALLING OVER.

    Seriously, just how drunk do you have to be to say something like: “We have to pass the bill [obozocare] so that you can find out what’s in it.” or “…elections shouldn’t matter as much as they do…” ?

    Get help, pelosi — AA has a huge team waiting just for you.

    Pelosi was a Jr Senator on the Congressional panel that investigated Newt.
    Acccoding to your link above her offiice makes some annoucement saying she knows nothing more . Do you actually think Pelosi’s office staff privy to everything Nancy knows? Pelosi would be stupid to leak any info at this time. She would wait until Newt got nominated.Doncha Think?

    If THIS biased mainstream media went after Clinton with the zeal they go after Republicans, Clinton wouldn’t have been President.  Come to think of it, they did go after a Clinton later, and Hillary was not President.  And Bill, ironically, was none too happy how it went down.

    Pelosi knows what she is talking about. They kept quiet to the public what he really did so he could earn a living. But now he emerges for the presidency. 

    Besides common sense tells you–if you have to leave your position which was #3 in the country and he is going to jump #1?   The GOP is in a panic now that he is gaining in Fla. and what all he did back there during his Speaker of the House days just may come tumbling down on him and it may be illegal for him to run for office and no one had to worry as long as he was trailing behind all the other candidate but now he is pulling up to the front.

    I think some of you need to do some googling and get yourself up to date on facts and find out why the republicans started this hate campaign about Pelosi and its all lies.  

    I do not expect politicians to be perfect and know everything–if any of us were perfect then we would not be on this earth. But this unfair lying is outrageous. Facts are important cause they affect mine and yours livelihood. Plus we really need to know those in Congress from the states we are from. We need to know what they vote for and why and to hear from us and for all of to take the time to inform them of our needs and concerns. The computer makes this much easier as a phone can can also. Years ago Congress was busy passing through laws that were hurting us and we were unaware cause we were told lies about  them.  We cannot have our leaders not work for the people because one is democrat and the other is republican. It does not matter the party is but it does matter what they pass that affects our livelihood.

    She said there were 5 people in the room that day. Remember Pelosi is up there on top with the presidents in meetings and things that take place while others have to leave the room. 

  • Anonymous

    That is not what she said. You got it wrong. She was in meetings with Bush and went  into him about his lying about Iraq and he and the republicans got ticked off cause they said she had no right to question the president. That is her job to do she works for the people not to be their puppet to say yes yes yes.
