Bridgegate subpoenas due for Chris Christie’s staff
NY Post ^ | 1/13/14 | Beth DeFalco

Posted on 01/13/2014 5:56:53 AM PST by jimbo123

Subpoenas could be issued as soon as Monday for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s former deputy chief of staff and campaign manager, whose heads rolled after explosive e-mails implicated them in the George Washington Bridge traffic scandal, sources said.

And the ongoing Bridgegate investigation has paralyzed Christie’s office, with a ripple effect that’s frozen several top moves and appointments as a result of the mess.

Sources said on Sunday that state Senate Democrats have delayed the confirmation hearing for Kevin O’Dowd, Christie’s nominee for attorney general, who is his current chief of staff.

Sources said Democratic legislators want time to gather more information so they can grill O’Dowd on what he knew about the closure of lanes on the country’s busiest bridge as part of a political vendetta.

What I want to know is “what difference. at this point, does it make?”

Thanks to the MSM - like it or not - we’d better get Ready For Hillary!

Oh how I hate that woman. She literally gets away with murder.

No, the correct term is Bridge-Ghazi!

Start incorporating “Ghazi” into the lexicon of scandal.

When Jim McGreevy was Governor, he made his boyfriend the head of Homeland Security for New Jersey, a job for which he had absolutely no qualifications, and no charges were ever brought against McGreevy for that. (The F.B.I. was unable to give him security briefings because he couldnt get a security clearance!)

This whole thing is monumentally stupid, and pales in comparison to the real evil of Obama using the IRS and the government’s criminal investigative bodies to shut down political opposition. That is grounds for impeachment! That is against the very reason our Constitution exists.

Look up Catherine Englebrecht here and learn about Constitution shredding Chicago politics? This makes Ft Lee look like a school yard prank.

This story would be nothing, as that McGreevy story is, if Christie would let go of his status as pres candidate, but he won’t.

It illustrates his character and loyalties.

The only one who ever thought he could run was priebus. The media, too, I guess. But this is to keep something else off the news

It’s not over till the fat man sings!

Wow, what a phrase.

Is Chrissie clearing his throat yet...

It's VERY funny to me on NJ local news this morning. You know, all virulently Democratic except for Fox, which is unwavering in it's plain old left-of-center views on Fox 5.

Seems like...

All TV has gone RESPECTFULLY QUIET around NY/NJ.

Even the royal new world order Dolan family's communist News12 Cablevision local NJ news channel simply flashes a "Bridgegate" breaking news headline, quietly says a few words, then moves on to their other local crime and NWO agenda propoganda.

Seems like...

All propogandists in NY/NJ HAVE BEEN BANKING ON CHRISTIE playing the part of Republican candidate in the 2016 Presidential Show and Sale.
Seems Mr. C gives the leftists a fat'n feisty target for public show (while of course being a fantastic team player for progressivism (read statism))

and he gives rightists a fat'n feisty character puppet that encourages their rank-and-file to shake their fist at the world and hearken back to the new world order-induced "glory days" of the American 20th century.

Clearly, both sides love the bombastic relief he provides even while staying right on script behind closed doors. Well, aside from being cantankerous behind closed doors, but hey, politicians are nothing if not notorious for, well, let's say personality quirks.

Apparently they were all counting on the dude to head the shallow '80's remix they had planned for 2016.

And lo and behold, seems like poor little Chrissy's behind-the-scenes hillarity about stickin' it to their political foes, complete with the "godfather" being dutifully left out of anything in writing, has actually inspired the top llieutenants to commit some acts that, well, appear like they might be illegal.

Hang on, you hanger's on. Don't be a rat. Don't go against the family. Certainly not the godfather.

A few years from now that glorious mythical ship of state will be a little fatboy standing in his proud little sunken dingy in a few feet of water, humming a little Bon Jovi, quietly mumbling something about some Sandy under his breath, his fat little arm a bit raised, in a wave to an imaginary crowd.

Hang on, bottle up your secrets to proudly hide from everyone. If you sing now, you'll be cut off from all that glory of being first mate on that dingy.

Sing, fat man, sing. While the great ship sinks. She was a good ship. A vision. Unsinkable. Alas ! Man the lifeboats ! Sing fat man !

Silly Hornet. Democrat politicians and big donors aren't subject to the law.

Hillary, loyal new world order minion, needs a massive citizen campaign to expose her war crimes and other crimes.

Too many people don't understand new world order and stick their head in the sand.

Exactly the same situation as pre-war Germany in the 1930's, well, except we have a 2-party "show" system, and we keep having sham elections where both candidates work for NWO.

Imagine if Himmler was running against Dr. Mengela ? See on the face of it at the time, high party officials were accepted by the public; their system was the norm. Mayors of towns, leading businessmen, etc., generally never spoke out against the regime.

That's exactly what's going on in America today. The Rockefeller and other foundations are completely ignored, and free to spend billions on promoting their agendas. The Klintoons have THEIR OWN foundation that promotes new world order agendas - all tax exempt.

The corruption and control at the top from behind the scenes is so enormous and all-encompassing it's difficult to come to grips with. It extends to the UK and Europe. What do people think the EU is ? It's control and enslavement of every person in Europe on behalf of the masters.

Once the horrors of WWII happened, the general public violently rejected the governments that had been hijacked and turned into killing machines. Because the public had been put through misery.

But the SAME puppetmasters who were behind those regimes - are behind virtually all national governments today. The governments ended and new ones were created, but the puppetmasters remain through it all - since they are not recognized by governments as even existing, let alone as doing anything illegal.

They hide. People think their government is their ruler. They think the Clintons, for example, are acting on their own. The Clintons are a public face, they execute the orders of their masters. And execute they will, gladly. Their audacity knows no bounds. Because THEY know that they have the enormous hidden power of new world order backing them up.

You're right. What the hell was I thinking?

Local GOP scandal...MSM wall to wall coverage for weeks.

Meanwhile national scandals like Obama siphoning taxpayer money to his cronies, IRS persecution, abortion mandates, waging war in Libya, Egypt without congressional approval, Holder listening in on journalists' conversations, etc. etc. get 2 days or so of coverage then are buried by the media.

The double standard STINKS!!

The media is having such a good time with this, not realizing we don’t want Christie to run for pres. So that’s a good thing

It's not a good thing that the media is tied up with a local scandal.

The national issues the socialists are pushing are what the media should be concentrating on. Of course they are looking for any excuse to ignore Obama and found it in a road in NJ.

Yep...the retaking of Fallujah by Al Queda should be front and center for weeks.

Instead we have this asinine story about a highway and conservatives lap it up.

Christie is in the running for president, its not a local story.

McGreevy, Corrine. These guys did so much more corruption than Christie and recently, but we barely know who they are.

This story is tailored to take something else out of the news

Christie should bow out now and let the other scandal have a chance (gates’ book). But he won’t. He’s an ego maniac like his boardwalk buddie BO
