Discussion: N.J. Billed About $8 Million In Bridgegate Scandal

Discussion for article #243714

I wish this would get done, I would really like to see if that loud mouth of a prick gets out of this. Just seems like bs that he didn’t know anything about what was going on. Either way very glad I don’t live in Jersey.

Christie doesn’t give a shit how much it costs the State of NJ. Hell, he’s barely there anymore, anyway. All the same, I hope they throw the fucking book at that fat slob when all the legal wrangling is said and done…

Christie is a prime example of what unmitigated corruption in politics looks like. The guy is mobbed up. No question in my mind.

So it’s just the lawyers who want 8 million. When do all the commuters who spent extra hours on their commute get to bill?

No worries. I’m certain Christie will get a lot of that money back in campaign contributions. NJ taxpayers, on the other hand, well, you did vote him in.

And he had a pattern of living large at taxpayer expense as US attorney.

I don’t know about Gibson Dunn but Christie, he’s definitely done. Like a dried out rump roast even.

Eight megabucks from the NJ budget wasted because he is guilty as hell; or unaware at a criminal level. Sigh, he is just another perfectly acceptable Republican candidate to ruin the Presidency too.

Maybe Christie ate the eight mill or has a very large money belt on?

So for 8 million you get lawyers that don’t even take notes?

The law firm of Gibson Dunn has billed New Jersey roughly $8 million since it was hired to defend Gov. Chris Christie and others from legal challenges stemming from the 2013 lane closures.

Man, someone could buy a lot of Yodels, Ring Dings, and Devil Dogs with that kind of money.

The easy payroll deduction plan applies to personal expenses billed to taxpayers, right, Governor? PAY UP!
