Christie on “Bridgegate”: I knew nothing.
Hotair ^

Posted on 01/09/2014 8:15:38 PM PST by chessplayer

Obama said the same thing about the IRS targeting tea partiers, of course. To which conservatives replied: That’s no excuse. Even if he didn’t order the targeting, bad behavior coordinated by multiple subordinates typically doesn’t happen unless they have reason to believe it’ll be tolerated up the chain. Usually, when they play dirty, they’re taking some sort of cue from their boss to do so, whether in broad ideological terms or direct marching orders.

Sgt. Schultz time. "I know nothing!!!" Hey, it always works for The One. The media always rush to his side and say he can't possibly know what all his subordinates are doing 24 hours a day.

200 years from now, perhaps, a group of men will get together and re-kindle the fires of a new American Revolution. Until then this nation is doomed to outright corruption, the politics of revenge, and the rule of demogogues....

Media heads are all worked up about Christie and he's nothing but a North East RINO to us, which goes to show and prove the disconnect, both regionally and within the GOP and America as well.

Media talking heads gloating about how they are doing their jobs and vetting Christie. Too bad they didn’t bother to vet obozo. By the way, I think Christie was involved up to his ears in Bridgegate.

I am indifferent.

2016 election is far away from now (~ 3 years, ~ 2 years to a primary ) and this will have no relevance by then.

Its just entertainment.

I don’t think it matters that Christie “didn’t know”.

He is responsible for the actions of his staff. He is also responsible for placing clear limits on political actions lacking his approval.

Unless Christie can show that someone on his staff went completely rogue & that person publicly admits it, Christie is responsible for this reprehensible behavior.

Of course he claims he didn't know anything was going on. I could have told you that would be his story from the moment he announced the press conference.

Really, what's he going to do? Stand up and say "Yeah, I'm that petty, yeah I'm that vindictive. etc. etc." ??? That would be political suicide. Of course the alternative is only slightly better. If we are to believe him then he has made gross errors in judgement in putting people who are that petty and vindictive in positions of power.

Either way Christie, if you act like an a-hole you're going to be regarded as one. I do believe his political career is finished. This is probably the best job he's ever going to have, he's going to go no further.

I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps Sergeant Schultz is Krispy Kreme’s new nickname.

That he would hire people who would do this speaks poorly of his judgment and his character.

The fatman shares a trait with little barry bastard boy, he lies when he wants to, to cover his treachery toward the people.

Bob Gates dropped stink bombs on Hillary and Biden and now this thing comes out in NJ. Cruz and Paul are looking stronger and stronger.

This is so predictable. Our American media is so transparent and obviously in the back pocket of the Democratic Party. The media was just waiting to trip up Governor Doughboy to keep a clear path to the White House for Saint Hillary. Never mind this scandal is peanuts compared to Benghazi, the NSA, etc., but the DNC media machine got their red meat and predictably they’re running with it.
