Nice post, and thank you for your service. I agree with you - I think Christie got sandbagged by his Hillarybot Chief of Staff. Hillary's got her little army of clerks and secretaries and other support personnel everywhere, and they are nasty as f***. She was a mole, as they all are, and after a long time of waiting she got The Call from The Boss.
Result? Zappo for Fatso (I detest him, but I actually think he was clueless in this one. Simply, it's too petty and cruel and politically stupid - i.e. it's got Hillary's fingerprints all over it).
And, of course, a secret little gold star for the little spy who pulled it off - and future gilded jobs and perks for a Job Well Done.
These... females... give "vile" a whole new level of meaning.
I guess it is a sad day when one feels compelled to defend Christie from the press, of all agencies on earth. Club Christie like a baby seal, if you will, but PLEASE add a caveat that one does not stand with the press’s apoplectic manufactured indignations. This - is - the - press for crying out loud.
NOTE: I’m hip to the whole shadenfraude angle around these parts, now running wide open on steroids. I get that.
