Caught: Justice Department probes GOP governor Christie for lavish spending on cars, hotels

[RamboLiberal]

The Republican governor of New Jersey spent big money on luxury hotels without proper justification, a new Justice Department report reveals.

As a US Attorney, Gov. Chris Christie "provided insufficient, inaccurate or no justification," in 14 of the 15 trips in question, the Department of Justice report (.pdf) said.

The review found that most US Attorneys rarely sought reimbursement above the government rate but Christie surpassed the rate by a total $2,176 over 23 trips. The rate was exceeded by as much as $242 per night.

"In terms of the percentage of travel, U.S. Attorney C was the U.S. Attorney who most often exceeded the government rate without adequate justification," according to the report. "The U.S. Attorney provided insufficient, inaccurate, or no justification for 14 of 23 trips (61 percent) that exceeded the government rate."

1. Did she have an orgasm during this probing?

:evilgrin:

[gratuitous]

3. The current governor of New Jersey is male

That aside, isn't it interesting what the Justice Department decides to investigate, and what it declines to investigate?

5. Well

The state of NJ most likely (my state)will not prosecute him - but if the Fed does (is it a law broken or would he just have to the pay the money back?) then so be it.

Right now I'd rather the money be spent by New Jerseyans on education, emergency services, pot holes on route 28. We as a state don't have the money for those things? Then we need other states/the fed to foot the bill if they want to get it done.
