By Brian Thompson

Key members of the New Jersey Assembly have begun researching whether or not to bring articles of impeachment against Gov. Chris Christie, NBC 4 New York has learned. 

This follows early testimony in the George Washington Bridge scandal trial, which some Assembly members believe shows the Republican governor had more knowledge of the lane closures in Fort Lee during and after that week in 2013 then he has led the public to believe.   
Christie Was Told About Plan to Close GWB Lanes: Prosecutor

One committee chairman who did not want to be named said "clearly obstruction of justice" would be an obvious charge against the governor.   

The legislator told NBC 4 New York the chances are probably 50-50 that the assembly would pursue impeachment.

1. Will that mean he can't be Donald's messenger boy any more?

Nah, I'm sure that job is still available to him.

8. It means Donald can't get a super-sized Big Mac. (nt)

2. In conjunction with Trump's problems

is the house of cards finally going to fall?!

[murielm99]

3. I don't think they will act against Trump

until after the election. It is September 23. Both parties may have an October surprise in store, but Trump's house of cards may be safe for a bit.

4. And Christie just thought his legal woes were safely behind him!

5. wouldn't it be ironic

if this guy gets impeached for this. Oh the delicious irony

[Blue Dalek]

6. Impeached and thrown into jail!

Who the hell do these people think they are, to screw around with people's lives like that? Dispicable.

7. How many years too late?

9. Today's testimony: David Wildstein: Christie a "Constituency of one."

http://www.springfieldnewssun.com/ap/ap/us/governments-star-witness-set-to-take-stand-in-brid/nsdRd/

"...at the beginning of his testimony, said he and Baroni often talked of the "one-constituent rule," referring to Christie as the only constituent they needed to serve.

"My experience was governors were best served by staff who had no competing agenda," he said.
Wildstein and Christie attended high school together, and Wildstein was hired by the Port Authority to a position created for him."

10. Just maybe the two of them possibly more will have on orange and white strip jump suits

flip flops on, and they can sit at the same table, eating bologna sandwiches. and look at each other, what are you exactly in here for:

defrauding people out of moola, I was scamming everyone for the last 35+ years

defrauding the people and shutting down a bridge, where the emergency crews couldn't get heart attack person to a hopital

11. this is why it's only 50/50

I quote from the OP's article:

Christie is nearing the end of his second term, with a new governor due to be sworn in 16 months from now.

On television, I heard Loretta say it might not be worth it.

As much as I want to see the fool impeached, she may have a point. He has cost the taxpayers so much money. I would like to see someone make him pay back the 10 million plus for the phony investigation that said he didn't know anything about it (this money went to his lawyer buddies, so just another scam). Also any legal fees the taxpayers had to pay.

This should be a lesson to the entire U.S.: this is what happens when you let a scumbag like Christie into office.
