He represented New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie during the investigation into the George Washington Bridge lane-closing case.

Oh, FFS!

All that lurking at the backdoor of the White House is beginning to pay off for Chris Christie - patience rewarded…

So what information does Hair Furor have on Mr. Wray to coerce him into taking this position?

No same person would want to accept any position remotely connected to the Orange Hot Air Buffoon.

One question, did he take the loyalty oath?

He’s white and male, so we know he fits trump’s most important qualifications, but what else do we know about this guy?

Confirmation hearing questions I want to hear

“Did the president speak to you about the Russia investigation and, if so, how did you respond?”

“Have you formed any opinion about the validity of the Russia investigation?”

“Do you agree with the president when he says that asking for loyalty is ‘not a bad question’?”

Marcy Wheeler has the rundown on Wray’s career, and a very grim kicker. Looks like Trump has found his guy.

Christie would be an upgrade in terms of competence, but given the Senate is about to mug 23 million Americans for their health insurance to finance a tax cut I’m fairly sure that’s a bad development.

How would any self respecting professional volunteer to be another Trump stooge. Wait. There’s my answer. ‘Self respect.’ He should expect none from anyone else, either.

I have no doubt that Christie has been promised Sessions’ position after Tramp gives him the boot.

He’ll never make it through confirmation.

Nah, he wants Reince’s job, and he’s already proven to Trump he’s just as much of a pushover.

Exactly my first thought, too.

Ah, you’re probably right since Chief of Staff doesn’t require confirmation.

But will Kush allow Christie that close to daddy-in-law?

Reince is easier to push over. He’s thinner.

He has to sign a Pre-Wraithial, so it’s all good.
