I agree that by keeping his mouth shut Newt would benefit politically, but how could expressing these concerns about the report and raising the bar on Starr be anything but trouble to Starr and the House investigation? That's what nobody on this thread as explained yet.

<<<Until Starr's report is examined by Congress, there is *no* benefit to accrue to Republicans for the Speaker of the House to make hasty judgements. There would be everything to lose and nothing to gain by Newt coming out with some Clinton-damning remark, at this time. Newt will bide his time until he knows there is sure support for whatever is politically expediant.>>>

It's apparent that few understand what's occurring here. Newt already knows what is in the report. Take it to the bank. He ends up looking like Citizen Newt who called for fairness just before the paddle line is formed up for Mr. Clinton. Polls or no polls, Mr. Clinton has all but lost his strongest ally-the press. Head for the exit because she's a singin'.
