Surprise surprise, GOPERs blame democrats
I have little doubt that Christie was involved from the beginning. The trials should be interesting.
No one will be crispier than Chris Christie when all is said and done.

Big man fall down and go boom.
So far the newest indictments have only measured 5.0 on the Richter Scale as far as I can tell. But its sure to be bigger when the aftershocks kick in. By then, anyone that’s ever known or been tangentially associated with Crispy Cream will all be running for the hills away from this man. He’s always been a catastrophe dressed up as pure corruption and political opportunism. Too bad NJ didn’t see it when they went ahead and re-elected the scoundrel. Could have saved us all the trouble of having to put this guy out to pasture now.

That man will never, ever be able to wash the taint off his political career, no matter how hard he tries. He’s the gorilla glue that made all of NJ corruption stick together like it does today…into a giant cesspool of quid pro quo.

Looks like his wife will have to walk hat in hand and ask for her job back.

It’s a rather delicious irony, that if he had not been so focused on trying to get bi partisan support in an election he was going to win an landslide anyway, he probably would be one of the front runners today…if not THE front runner.
Instead, he has seen his presidential hopes disappear…precisely because of trying to bend the arms of Democratic mayors.

More a case of putting his political ambitions ahead of his political ambitions, really. It’s amazing how often calculation is self-defeating over time spans of more than a year in politics. Vote for a war to keep from being portrayed as “weak” and then the war turns out to be a total clusterfrak; try to distance yourself from a popular president with popular policies because he’s in some scandal trouble, swear not to raise taxes ever, ever, ever. Pander to the Beltway MSM’s bipartisanship fetish by carrot and sticking mayors of the other party to support you while stiffing people in your own party.
Or, of course, that classic error of incumbent presidents, overreacting to losses in that first midterm after you were elected resulting in actions you regret having taken by the time you’re running for reelection.
More often than not, just doing whatever you wanted to or truly thought was right at the time turns out to be the most politically astute thing you can do in the long run.

Christie is on his way to running a chain of funnel cake stands on the Ocean City boardwalk.

This isn’t a new story. Christie had a quid pro quo with (corrupt) south Jersey Democratic Boss George Norcross to not campaign against South Jersey dems. In return Norcross froze the money on Barbara Buono and made it tacitly known legislators could support Christie without penalty. Two bad apples working together.
The change now is Christie is seen as vulnerable enough for a Republican to say it in the open. A lot of them were saying it privately. Let see if they dare override one of his vetoes…

Hi. I’ve been known my whole career as a micromanaging power player. My entire administration is in jail for illegal micromanaged power playing. I’ve made specific entirely terrible proposals for Social Security while ignoring the obvious simple solutions. I’m Chris Christie and I approved this message. Vote for me.

“The indictments handed down Friday confirmed that theory.”
Indictments are not handed down, they are handed up. Things are handed up to a court, and down from a court.

yeah, but bigger BOOM!

“Now I’m not sayin’ He’s guilty or anything but he set up all the conditions for this to happen kinda like the way Michael Corleone ran his “family”.”
Fixed it for ya.
This wasn’t even a smart strategy. He courted Democrats to further his presidential ambitions by demonstrating to the country that he alone could bring us all together.
Except the Republican base doesn’t want to bring the country together or compromise with the other side in any way whatsoever. They’re a bunch of nihilists who’d gladly see the country suffer if it meant sticking it to the other side. How else to explain why they oppose policies that they previously supported, i.e. ACA?
It just… I mean… how could this venture possibly make money?

Yeah, blame his mamma!
Despite the sordidness and political adversity caused by Bridgegate, Governor Chris Christie remains the most principled, qualified, competent, charismatic, ethical and intelligent and the least corrupt candidate in the Republican pool of Presidential aspirants. He is a giant compared to Donald Tramp, Scott Walker, Rick Perry, Jebya Bush, John Boehner, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio.
