12. I admit I'm not interested enough to research it

But is there evidence to suggest that Jared really hates Christie for prosecuting his father, or do we just assume that? For all I know he hated his father and thanks Christie for getting him out of the way so he could take over the family fortune.

16. I get that was part of the after-the-fact justification for "purging" Christie

I guess my only question would be, if there was this longstanding hatred of Christie inside the Trump camp, how did he get his foot in the door to begin with? I guess the likely answer is that they relied upon his blind ambition and willingness to join the team to garner some respectability in certain Republican circles but were really just fucking with him the entire time.

What would obviously pass as sarcasm previously is not so clear cut with Trump. You never know what shit he may come up with next.

they will shut down the whole investigation and dicard all evidence. That's what we're dealing with. Putin is an evil genius. If one wants to destroy America, trump was born to do just that.
