Senator
As predicted, Chris is likely toast. I'll give him a 20% chance to resurrect a future in national politics.
His attempts to laugh this off now appear to be dishonest, though we can’t yet be sure that he personally knew about the doings of one of his top aides. Either way, though, Christie bears responsibility. If it turns out he did know, he is obviously lying and unfit for office — let alone a 2016 presidential run.

And even if he did not, his officials are liars. If Christie can’t control them, how can we trust him as a potential future leader of our country?

He's holding a news confront at 11 EST Phil. Should be mighty interesting.
 
His statement yesterday that (paraphrasing) "This doesn't represent my administration" is going to go over like a lead balloon. His administration did this. Even if he was unaware of the shenanigans (doubtful), he was the one who hired these folks and he's ultimately responsible for their actions.

How so? what are you expecting... him to pull out a samurai sword and gut himself?

he'll take responsibility. point to someone responsible. vow to punish. and take responsibility.

or: he'll take it entirely.
 
What gets me about this whole affair is that it even happened in the first place.

For God's sake: you're contemplating running for President and you and/or your staff involve yourselves in a petty, ham handed attempt at political retribution while simultaneously portraying yourself as bi partisan and above the politics as usual perception?

The lackadaisical attitude of Christie and his staff boggles the imagination.

Ewww!

That would be like one of those Gallagher watermelon routines.

It will be interesting to see how he responds. I suspect his advisors have been up all night long trying to come up with a good spin to put on this whole incident.

I agree that he will deny any involvement. Of course, with this sort of scandal, the cover-up is the most dangerous aspect. If he denies involvement, then he'd better hope that there's no contrary evidence out there that could come back to haunt him.

Doesn't matter. Most of the Republican base hates Christie for cooperating with a Democratic President in order to obtain federal assistance for the people of his state when they were devastated by a natural disaster. He's too sane to be the Republican nominee.

Yeah, there are enough people digging, enough hearings and enough subpoenas flying around that eventually it'll come out if he directed the whole thing.

Fess to it now, there's hope. If not and it comes out .. so long. I'm wondering why the names on those emails are redacted.

It's not as simple as erasing a few feet of audio tape any longer.

Now Phil, please. Abuse of power, abuse of government office, we're pretty much talking felonies.

Not to mention, there are bound to be some civil suits. Schoolchildren were delayed, emergency response was delayed, search for missing girl delayed. The list is long.

The little old lady who died because the ambulance couldn't get her to the hospital in time will be the star of the political ads that will run against him.

No doubt they are defending him or providing limited info. Did you happen to catch any Fox yesterday? Even Shep Smith wouldn't read any of the emails. He said "just use Google.. you'll find them".

LoL! :)

I don't do Fox anymore except sometimes on election night. Their fraudulent coverage of the Iraq war run-up and the early months of the war put them on my no-fly list.
