Chris Christie has a book coming out. I can't wait for my copy.
You know, like most Jerseyians i did not like the man. I found him to be self serving, manipulative to the point of being a bully and for the most part he had the qualities of a man you hope your daughter does not marry.
However give the Devil his due. He was, apparently a successful prosecutor, impressed the state Republicans enough to capture the gubernatorial nomination and then we the people of NJ elected
him not once but twice to be our Governor.
Now you might say but yes Trump, he who walks among the corn was elected as President. The
odds are there is so much illegal activity on his part about to be revealed. He will not survive 2019.
Chris has some choice material on Russia, which some of our local Trump apologists may take issue with.
Meanwhile, Kushner is not the only subject of Christie’s wrath. The author is scathing about Michael Flynn, the retired general who was briefly national security adviser before resigning over his dealings with Russia, and who is now cooperating with the special counsel and awaiting sentencing for lying to the FBI.
In one of the book’s more memorable put-downs, Flynn is dubbed “the Russian lackey and future federal felon”. Christie also calls the former general “a train wreck from beginning to end … a slow-motion car crash”.
And on why Comey was fired --
Christie is relatively forgiving of Kushner in the context of the infamous June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between the candidate’s son-in-law, his son Donald Jr, his campaign manager and a group of Russians, some with Kremlin ties, offering “dirt” on his Democratic presidential opponent, Hillary Clinton. Bannon memorably told the author Michael Wolff the meeting was “treasonous” but Christie writes that taking the meeting was merely “dumb” or, in the case of Kushner and Trump Jr, a “sign of profound inexperience”. He faults Trump’s response to Robert Mueller’s investigation into links with Russia, but does not go into detail about the work of the special counsel.
He does, however, contend that Kushner misjudged two Russia-related firings: that of Flynn in February 2017 and most famously that of the FBI director James Comey in May the same year. According to Christie, Kushner thought firing Flynn would end talk of links between the Trump campaign and Russia – it did not – and that firing Comey would not provoke “an enormous ****-storm” in Washington. It did.
It appears Christie is desperately trying to resurrect his reputation.
meh. He had a good reputation among people who didn't know what he was like. As soon as people became familiar with him they realized what a thoroughly awful person he is. It's impossible to put that toothpaste back in the tube.
as much as I disgust him, he was actually really knowledgeable and came across well when commentating with ABC news during the recent elections
Supposedly the book also reveals that Trump urged Christie to wear longer ties on the 2016 campaign trail, as Trump thinks this makes a man look slimmer
