Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie had harsh words for President Trump's legal team as it pursues its increasingly quixotic quest to overturn the November election.

"Quite frankly, the conduct of the president's legal team has been a national embarrassment," Christie said Sunday on ABC's "This Week.".....

On Sunday, Christie cited the conduct of Powell in particular for her unsubstantiated claim that the Republican governor of Georgia is part of a conspiracy to rig the election against Trump.

"Sidney Powell [is] accusing Gov. Brian Kemp of a crime on television, yet [is] unwilling to ... lay out the evidence she supposedly has," said Christie, a former U.S. attorney. "This is outrageous conduct by any lawyer."

Georgia is one of the states narrowly won by Biden; Trump is pursuing a recount unlikely to change the result.

Christie further praised Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., for clearly acknowledging Biden's victory after the Pennsylvania judge's ruling on Saturday night. In a statement, Toomey described Judge Matthew Brann as a "longtime conservative Republican whom I know to be a fair and unbiased jurist." Trump responded to the statement on Twitter, where he called Toomey "no friend of mine."

Christie said he hopes more Republicans step forward.

"As much as I'm a strong Republican, and I love my party, it is the country that has to come first," he said.

1. Takes one to know one.

2. Chris oughta know about that...

he's another repub embarrassment.

IMO, the whole damn GOP needs an overhaul or maybe just go out of existence entirely. They serve no purpose whatsoever. They have nothing to add. Not a damn thing of any value whatsoever.

7. I'm getting sick thinking about the moment when Republicans WILL finally admit defeat

It will be a lot of

"Now that we have agreed with the experts and acknowledge than Joe Biden has the votes, we want to say that now is the time for healing, not for criticism. We did the right thing by pursuing all avenues but in the end did not have enough evidence to prove our assertions. So lets now come together, forget about the past, and get to work Let bygones be bygones"

With faux big puppy dog eyes, acting like the victims, they will cry and wail at any small hint of investigations. And plead how important it is to be BIPARTISAN now, and how its a waste of everyones time dwelling on the past. How it will "tear the country apart" if they ever even think of allowing any new AG to look into Trump or any GOP Senators.

And I'm even more sick to think of what I've read on how Biden is preparing to respond to that.

9. For someone who hates losing

Donnie is doing a LOT of it. Every day he loses yet again, in fact. Goes to bed, having lost a lawsuit or a recount, or whatever he has brought on himself that day. Over and over again.

10. If even a person of such low character as Chris Christie, can be embarrassed, well that's something

Chris Christie should be triply embarrassed by being the first nationally known Republican to embrace this racist, corrupt idiot, but being a racist corrupt idiot himself, he probably doesn't find that embarrassing.

11. Christie seems to think he's still relevant.

Dimwit.
