From First Read
Newt Gingrich's former consulting company will release his contracts with Freddie Mac this evening before the NBC debate, a spokeswoman confirmed. Gingrich was reportedly paid $1.6 million under the contracts and Romney had made disclosure of the contracts a major issue in the last day.
Romney complains, Newt complies.
Where's your tax returns, Willard?
For those who don't recall, these are the contracts where Gingrich claimed he was hired as a "historian" to provide advice on the business models of the GSEs. Actually, as anyone with two brain cells to rub together deduced immediately, he was hired for his contacts on Capitol Hill - a lobbyist de facto but perhaps not de jure.
It will be interesting to see if the word "historian" appears in the contracts - but unless Newt's lawyers are idiots, the word "lobbyist" will not.
