Gingrich's duties

In an attempt to deflect attention over his involvement with Freddie Mac, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich's former consulting firm on Monday released a contract he had with the troubled mortgage firm.
The 16-page document covered a consulting agreement only for work done in 2006 and shed little light on Gingrich's duties. The document calls for a $25,000-a-month in fees for the year.
In total, Gingrich was paid between $1.6 million and $1.8 million in consulting fees for eight years of work with the lender, according to previous disclosures.
The deal sparked criticism of Gingrich as a Washington insider but he has insisted his arrangement included no lobbying and that he was paid for his historical acumen.
His rivals for the Republican presidential nomination, particularly Mitt Romney, have seized on his relationship with Freddie Mac, charging him with reaping monetary benefits for his influence in Washington.

When the form was released, Romney senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom tweeted:

"Newt's K Street firm finally released the Freddie contract, but only for 2006. Where are missing years? He started there in 99"
