1. Callista Gingrich at the House Agriculture Committee, which has jurisdiction over mining policy

...
Did Rachel get into some of the underlying intrigue in this case?

How Did Newt Gingrich Get Such a Sweet Deal at Tiffany's? Perhaps the opposition researchers who dumped that story about Newt Gingrich's $250,000-$500,000 "revolving charge account" at Tiffany & Co. only wanted people to make fun of his gilded lifestyle, but it also raises more concrete, scandalous questions. Namely: Why would Tiffany's give the Gingriches a no-interest credit account?...

And what was Callista Gingrich doing during those years? She was a big wig over at the House Agriculture Committee, which has jurisdiction over mining policy — an area where Tiffany's lobbyists were making a big push. From an excellent post at SpyTalk:

Filings by Tiffany's lobbyist, Cassidy & Co., and other government records show that the firm's spending on "mining law and mine permitting-related issues" in Congress, as well as the Forest Service, the Interior Department, and Interior's Bureau of Land Management shot up sharply between during the period when Callista Gingrich was chief clerk at the House Agriculture Committee.

Tiffany's annual lobbying expenditures rose from about $100,000 to $360,000 between 2005 and 2009, according to records assembled by the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan government watchdog organization.
