Blankley charge of Clinton vendetta in Gingrich tax probe unsupported by facts

SUMMARY: The Washington Times' Tony Blankley claimed that an investigation into Newt Gingrich's possible tax violations was the result of the Clintons' "policy of personal destruction." In fact, months before the Internal Revenue Service audit was reported, the House ethics committee voted unanimously to launch an investigation. The ethics committee ultimately voted 7-1 to recommend that the House impose a fine of $300,000 on Gingrich and reprimand him.
