President-elect Donald Trump is so disgusted with Chris Christie’s handling of the Bridgegate scandal that he’s kicking the New Jersey Gov. out of his inner circle, The Post has learned.

“Trump thought it was shameful that Christie didn’t take the fall for [convicted aide] Bridget Kelly,” said a source close to the transition team. “Trump is really angry that Christie is sending a soccer mom to jail. He believes 100 percent that Christie was behind it all.”

Christie’s former deputy chief of staff was convicted in federal court earlier this month along with former Port Authority executive Bill Baroni. They were charged with causing dangerous traffic tie-ups on the George Washington Bridge in September 2013 as political payback for Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich not endorsing Christie...

Am I the only one here disgusted that somebody is going to prison for causing a traffic jam?

I was waiting for the "baggage" line. I thought we used it all up on Newt in 2012.

Good. I hate it when an underling is sacrificed to save the top dog. (christie let the employees take the rap for him, and he got off scot free)

Christie, like Ryan is a coat tail rider. Christie was forcing himself into the front of the line at the victory speech. The guys that did the heavy lifting were back in the shadows.

I’m very happy Trump has dumped his disloyal fat ass.

Hugging dumbo just before the election was just stupid and if it did not win the election for dumbo it certainly didn’t help the outcome for us.

Well, we saw Trump shake hands with Obama a couple days ago. That's what happens in politics...like it or not.

It also happens at holidays in many families.

Get over it.

Why don’t you tell us the story. I never heard of Christie until the bridge thing and I am not sure I know the truth about that.

So do you think Chris Christie is an asset to the Trump Administration?

Trump knows Christie is anti-gun and is corrupt as they come. Can’t stand Christie, and it is a solid move to marginalized him. Christie also felt entitled to the vice presidency because he rushed to endorse Trump. No way, fat boy.

Tensions had been building for weeks between the two men, with some Trump insiders questioning Christie’s loyalty in the last month of the campaign, when it looked like Trump would lose.

Christie canceled appearances on Sunday shows after the Access Hollywood video of Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women was leaked on Oct. 7, the source said. He also failed to attend the second debate, and canceled campaigning with Trump in the last weekend of the race, the source said.


Well, bye.

OK, I could support that. US Attorney for Eastern District of New York. Does he need to be a resident of NY for that? If not, I’m all for it.

He could also be an advisor to Guliani. Christie was an advisor to both Ashcroft and Gonzolez (sp).

Just in case some of you missed what I posted above, here it is again. Vital. There is much more. Christie sides with Mohammedans and supports the vilest of the vile. Is he paid? Blackmailed? Just likes them? Who knows.
