Christie apologizes for scandal, fires deputy chief of staff, ousts top political aid
- Thread starter Goober
- Start date
I mentioned in the OP other things attributed to Christie and petty vengeance - Removing Police protection from an ex Gov, different party,for public events, along with a host of other issues. Much more to come out.
I think that as time goes on, over the next year he could be basically fuked for 2016.
This time I think he was right to fire those responsible. Provided they were not just taking one for the team.
The problem is looking closer at this guy it may well be taking one for the team
Does Christie know where Bob Ford lives?
Does Christie know where Bob Ford lives?
I never heard of the guy before so I don't know. But experience has taught me that over zealous underlings in politics can do funny things to support their party. More so with volunteers than professionals.
I read the article about a week or so ago. I will eventually find it.
Now Google is cluttered with this.
When I have 20-30 minutes to waste then I will give it a go.
Or wait for a news article to provide a link.
They get hungry after a certain time.
I don't agree. Christie may be a liar, but we're not sure. There is no doubt that Obama is a liar. The difference between Christie and Obama is that Christie will be held accountable for his any lies. Obama isn't held accountable for his lies.
You can certainly accuse the Obama administration of gross incompetence, rampant amorality and of an utter lack of a coherent economic and social vision for the nation.. but welcome to the club. That applies to every other American President for the last 45 years.
The sleaze is general in politics now.. across the political spectrum.. and frankly north and south of the border. BUT.. it seems that these political tricksters and saboteurs are drawn to the Republican Party like a moth to a flame. Something about the culture and sanctimoniousness of the Party attracts them. I remember Ted Bundy's first job was as a political operator for the Republican Party.. before he became one of America's most prolific serial killers.
It's been made worse now that he rabid Libertarian ideologues of the Tea Party have taken over the Party.. and the slime capacity of these morons knows no bounds.
So if by giving up the records you kept you will be found guilty, you should not be required to give up such info............?
Ex-Christie aide Bridget Kelly fights order to give up records
A former aide to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says in legal papers that there's a "real and substantial threat" of self-incrimination if she gives state lawmakers records they have requested from her as they look into a political payback scandal involving Christie's office.
In a court filing made public Friday, Bridget Anne Kelly's lawyers say federal authorities have requested interviews with Kelly, her parents, her ex-husband and former in-laws. The lawyers say none of them has been willing to talk.
Christie fired Kelly in January after her text message saying "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee" was made public.
To do that, her lawyer, Michael Critchley, is asserting that she could be subject to a criminal prosecution. Critchley argues in the court filing that the right not to self-incriminate extends to documents as well as testimony, and that even confirming whether certain documents exist could subject her to prosecution.
A hearing on the case of both Kelly and Stepien is scheduled for Tuesday.
