Wall Street & The Security Apparatus Want A Real SOB ... Chris Christie

From Ring of Fire:

The Chris Christie story is becoming clearer and clearer. I don’t mean the George Washington Bridge story, or the Sandy money story, though thanks to people like Steve Kornacki and his MSNBC associates, that’s becoming clear as well.

I mean the story behind those stories. Who’s sabotaging Chris Christie to force him out of office and off the national stage? And who’s supporting him in his bid for the power of the presidency?

About the latter — who’s supporting Christie’s White House ambitions — we have the invaluable Chris Hedges. Your bottom line — every mean SOB billionaire, from Wall Street to the Koch Bros, wants Christie in office. And every element of the “security and surveillance apparatus” — the NSA, the Pentagon, presumably the CIA- and FBI-aligned forces as well — also want him in power, at least as Hedges sees it.
