#1 Because he seems to be in Trump's doghouse, and 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend?'

#2 Christie's lawyer was not permitted to argue or cross-examine, McGeady said, because the governor was not a defendant until probable cause was established.

I'm not a Christie fan at all, but do we all feel good about the above?

#4 The charges have served their purpose.

Now they'll pick their next target, freeze it and attack again. The only time I've seen this tactic successfully fought was Scott Walker.

#5 Precedent for the 'closing national monuments'? A lot of Obeans minions could be before some grand juries on that one too.

#6 The whole freaking Bridgegate thing made a Mount Everest out of a molehill. If Christie was a Democrat, nothing would have happened.

#7 AH, yes, but if Christie - obviously a big threat to Hillary at the time - had not been frozen and attacked - we might not have President Trump today.

Ain't karma a witch?

#8 That's a good point, but I think the thing that nuked Christie for sure was the bro-hug of Obama when Christie was looking for Federal $ after Hurricane Sandy.
