Apparently, Christie's pals at the legal firm who exonerated him have caused him more problems!Chris Christie is in South Carolina this week, his first trip there in the 2016 cycle. On Tuesday he spent seventy minutes answering questions from GOP activists, road testing pro-gun, anti-Common Core, and anti-teachers union messages as he lays groundwork to enter an ever-widening pool of contenders for the GOP nomination.
It would seem that, for now, the postponement to mid-November of the Bridgegate trials of former Port Authority deputy executive director Bill Baroni and Christies former deputy chief of staff Bridget Anne Kelly works in Christies favor. The summer could allow him to regain national footing, and it wouldnt be all that surprising if we see something of a Christie bounce.
But there is something going on in the pre-trial maneuvering that could turn into a real headache for the governor.

OP
Seems like Christie has confused burying himself with digging himself out. This is much fun watching

And you are much too kind. I want to see him totally humiliated and sent packing--hopefully packing for the Federal penitentiary.

Of him being an ass wipe about Clinton and Mary Pat snickering beside him?
I'm so sick and tired of bring embarrassed by this asshole.
I fear though - he is going to pull a Palin and get away with it.
