Discussion for article #223695

I love the smell of perjury in the morning…It smells like Secaucus.

I don’t doubt that any or all of Christie’s cohorts may be lying. But for a misstatement of fact to rise to the level of being considered perjury, there has to be materiality. Maybe I missed something here, but I don’t see exactly how a discrepancy of a mere three days is material to whether or not Christie knew about the closures as they were happening, or of whether or not he participated in a cover up.

As I have posted on another thread here at TPM about this story here’s the home folks opinions:

Six months ago, the question was how much this would hurt his presidential campaign.

Six months from now, the question will be whether he can serve out his term.

Six months after that, the question will be whether he can stay out of the penitentiary.

Dunkin Donuts stock rises!

Yeah, I agree. I’m looking for “an explosive claim” in this case as much as the next guy, but this ain’t it.

“…some have speculated the closures were ordered as political retribution against the town’s Democratic mayor.”

Well, yeah – if by “some” you mean “everyone not named Christie.”
