US Attorney in New Jersey Seeks FBI’s Help in Bridge-Gate Probe

The U.S. attorney in New Jersey is opening an inquiry into claims that public officials orchestrated the massive traffic snarl on the busy George Washington Bridge to settle a political score — and has asked the FBI to help.
The probe announcement came Thursday as Gov. Chris Christie, a possible Republican White House contender, spent the day addressing the brewing scandal over his staff’s role in orchestrating the traffic jam after a local mayor declined to endorse Christie’s re-election bid.

Thanks Zakeet.
I was around for RIchard NixOn and felt angry when the liberal media beat up on him.
But Nixon was also beating up on his enemies.
His “hatchet man” White House counsel Charles Colson wrote many letters of apology when he went to prison in connection with Watergate.
One was to a fundamentalist radio preacher whose crime against Nixon was leading mass protests for a military victory in the Vietnam War and against Nixon and Kissinger’s policy of cutting a “peace” agreement.
The ex-Air Force Chief of Staff, General Curtis Lemay, ran as George Wallace’s third party running mate in 1968, advocating using air power in the right places like Haiphong harbor instead of the limited attacks on the communists.
He thinks his auditing by the IRS during Nixon’s presidency was a warning to stay out of politics.
RINO’s go after their Democrat and liberal enemies because politics is a turf war, but in Nixon’s case strong arm tactics were unleashed on patriots and conservatives.
I suspect there’s more examples of this in Christie’s governorship.
