omg - Christie's Chief of Staff, Kevin O'Dowd, to become NJ AG next week???

[stg81]

When asked at the press conference, Christie said that O'Dowd confirmation hearing to go forward next week. Acted shocked. Why would it not?

OMG - If O'Dowd becomes AG, what are the implications for the investigation of bridgegate?

1. And He's Confident About His Confirmation...

Leadership changes next week and the Norcross/Sweeney faction of democrats who are aligned with Christie take over.

2. I think Bridgett is taking the fall for Kevin.

Who put out the emails? Who redacted them?

4. Served up on a platter...

all that redaction. All those messages. The first name that shows up is Bridget Kelly. Sorry Bridget, your going to have to be the last stop on the blame train for this one. This has been going on for months. This was a deliberate strategy.

3. DOJ is looking at it

Interfering with interstate commerce.

7. If a Christie AG doesn't cooperate, who will the DOJ talk to?

In the past a state AG, even if a GOP, would work with the DOJ - but we are no longer in that era. I don't know how the DOJ can get around a road block like that.

It's the problem with electing people to office who are not in office to serve the public, but only to serve themselves. And that's what I think the gang working with Christie was - and still is.

6. One of the reasons why this needs to be looked into on the Federal level.
