The bottom line is that he is in serious trouble, politically and legally.
On the legal front, the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey is probing allegations by the mayor of Hoboken that a member of Christie’s cabinet and the lieutenant governor linked federal Hurricane Sandy relief funds to the the mayor’s support for a redevelopment project in Hoboken that would exclusively benefit one of Christie’s closest allies – whom he appointed to chair the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. This morning on his MSNBC show Steve Kornacki discussed reporting he and I (and producer Jack Bohrer) did showing that those federal
Hurricane Sandy funds have not been monitored by the Christie Administration as required by a law that Christie himself signed last March. Furthermore, relief funds have been extremely hard to account for because Christie vetoed a bill that would have created a single website to track Sandy funding and contract information. Based on the reactions of two congressmen who watched the report with me, officials in Washington will be loath to trust Christie with the next round of federal funds and we should not be surprised if an investigation is on the horizon.

Hurricane Sandy's devastating wrath, will come back to bite Christies ass. Wow another Repuke watching it's cities die. He put on one hell of a show to getting funding for the cities devastated by Sandy. Then what does he do? He let's the people suffer and plays a political game that will benefit himself and his very rich benefactors!
The man disgusts me.
Thanks Cha, great thread!
