Mayor Zimmer Is My Hero This A.M.

Christopher Hayes ?@chrislhayes 2h
Christie's office doubling down and saying Mayor Zimmer's allegations are "outlandishly false." This is going to get so so ugly.

“I’d be more than willing to testify under oath and – and answer any questions and provide any documents, take a lie detector test,” Zimmer said, referring to the Christie administration’s denials. “And, you know, my question back to them is, ‘Would all of you? Would all of you be willing do that same thing, to testify under oath, to take a lie detector test?’

Sandy money. That is why there was no point coming forward earlier. But she takes very good, detailed notes. She is one smart lady.

She looks like she has been put thru hell. Her side of the story is so much more believable than theirs, whatever it is. There is no reason in my mind to doubt her word. Cui bono applies here...

in his retribution for non-support electorally and non-support of his cronies plans to build. Contracts+cronies=big dollars in the top people's pockets. He needs to step down, now, and face the music because it is swelling to a huge crescendo.

The city was 80% under water. Less than half a million dollars wouldn't pay for the cleanup. Let alone rebuilding or shoring up city infrastructure. This did not take a rocket scientist or a mathematician to decipher this one. Christie is used to dealing with the insulation of his inner circle. He is the General barking out the orders. And they are his loyal soldiers. But I think that he will have to soon fly his flag upside down.

I don't doubt that Hoboken would need a lot of money to truly recover.

Sandy money goes to friends of Christie. All others, bend over.

have come out before but now it good too. In fact it would seem to be the perfect time since a pattern of abuse has been established. It's not as if she has their threats on tape, either. Even though I'm sure she appreciates that she wrote it in her diary. If I kept a diary I would thint that was worthy enough for an entry!
