Don't see the US Attorney on your list.

Not that bridgegate, shouldn't be investigated but…
nobody died in Bridgegate.

Maybe I have you confused with another poster.
There was someone on here weeks back defending ACA very vigorously and when questioned why he was so over the top in his defense of the ACA he claimed to be an independent but just wanted to correct all of the negative information out there on the ACA.
I thought it was you but must have my posters confused.
If I do mea culpa.

What is the truth on Benghazi, pray tell since you evidently know all?
Going to parrot the party line and tell us that it was a video?

RE: Chris Christie - Political Trouble
It’s a game that Christie knows well, of course. At the start of his own six-year tenure as US. attorney, he immediately went after politicians who abused their power, doubling the office’s anticorruption unit from seven to 14 attorneys. And Christie’s staff eventually convicted or got guilty pleas from more than 130 elected and appointed officials – without a single acquittal.
These included six county officeholders, 15 municipal officials, 18 mayors, and five New Jersey legislators, including Garden State icons such as Sharpe James, the five-term mayor of Newark. Indeed, even during Christie’s first year, a federal judge once quipped that the court “has so many cases that deal with public corruption that we literally can’t count them anymore.”

And on Friday Jan 24, Chris Matthews leads his show with the Christie story. This guy is undoubtably aware of how pathetic his show is.

Aren't ratings what TV is all about? They don't care if you agree with the host or not, just that you tune in. Looks like Hardball got you watching!

RE: Chris Christie - Political Trouble
The left will feature this "Bridgegate" for the next several years.
To them it's their Benghazi, even though that was much much worse.

RE: Chris Christie - Political Trouble
the MSM has actually done the base a favor. they've dumped a guy we would have never nominated without starting an internal fight that the media would have played as "REPUBLICAN CIVIL WAR!!", and "REPUBLICANS IN DISARRAY".
so, we actually owe you one this time.

I kind of think Christie has done this to himself. Of course blaming the media is always convenient.

No need to thank them. They were just doing their jobs.

the fourth estate no longer functions, but in this particular case of gross partisanship and dereliction of duty, they shot themselves in the crank. That was the point.

All crimes committed by people who aren't high-ranking US politicians like Bridgegate. Try again, genius. Or maybe you can regale us with a right-wing conspiracy theory about the President or former Secretary of State? I'm sure the fact that Benghazi has been investigated by roughly a dozen committees with subpoena power and they turned up nothing won't slow you down.

lol. Traffic comes are the best you have. traffic cones. You're wetting your dress over traffic cones.
thank Almighty God that the brave liberals are going to protect us from the impending doom that traffic cones represent for the future of the country and the safety of its citizens.
The misunderstood terrorists, on the other hand . . . Well, they have merely killed us by the thousands, and pledge to continue to do so. No real threat there.
I sleep soundly at night knowing that the central government knows a lethal threat from a traffic cone.
