[Christie] added: “I mean its one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted when I was U.S. attorney. And I was U.S. attorney in New Jersey.”

Former Governor Christie shows respect for the people of his state.

Kids sure say the darnedest things.

“would prefer not to have a pardon” because it would garner publicity.

I call bullshit, but I can understand why the senior Kushner wouldn’t want people reminded of what an asshole he was and how he deserved far more time than he got.

Or maybe this was actually a raised middle finger to his son-in-law? Nah, but what a mess.

A power move by Dumbo to have papa Kushner in debt; spread-eagle type of debt.

Nobody in any way connected to this sordid tale - no . one . at . all - deserves our sympathy or relief from pain of punishment. They are hedonistic criminals, the lot of them.

I look into the eyes of the elder Kushner couple and understand Jared’s emptiness.

Attempting to scare one’s sister from testifying before a grand jury by filming her husband in a motel with a prostitute? It occurs to me that a lot of stuff that happens in New Jersey reads like a parody of New Jersey.

That’s what Chris Christy thought was unbelievably vile and disgusting? He ought to come to New Mexico. There, we had one candidate hire a young woman to barge in on his opponent, hop onto him, and do a lap dance, while it was filmed by the other pol. Nothing particularly consentual in the New Mexico case, unlike the Kushner Kaper.

Here, La Politica can be a wild and wacky game.

It would be unfortunate if an investigation revealed that other crimes had been committed in the interim. I think you could make a good argument that a pardon from trump is probable cause for a thorough investigation of everything the pardonee has done.

I’ve heard it said that everyone in New Jersey either works for law enforcement or for the mob. And a good few, like Bernie Kerik, do both.

I swear this only confirms my belief that the Russians have him on tape wanking to the sight of prostitutes peeing on a bed Michelle and Barack slept in.
