Newt selling E-mails to scammers and con men.


I'm sure you all are hearing about Eye of Newt's E-mail that said "Obama is going to win". The E-mail was not authored by Newt, but by internet huckster and con-man Porter Stansbury, who has been previously prosecuted for fraud by the SEC.

The e-mail also apparently contained a sales pitch for Stansbury's latest scam.

So the E-mail wasn't meant to go out on that particular list serv that sent it, but it WAS meant to go out to a list of E-mail addresses Gingrich's organization sold to Stansbury.

Ergo, Gingrich is selling his supporters information to con men.
