This is a Politico article that Zero Hedge picked up. I would beware ANYTHING from Politico. Could it be FAKE NEWS?
Absolutely could be fake news, but keep in mind that Romney also backed away from Christie after considering him for influential spots. I doubt Romney objected to Christie being too close to lobbyists!
I’ve suspected something sinister about Christie’s background and connections, but it might be as simple as Christie having OPD (Obnoxious Personality Disorder).
