Chris Christie refrained from saying "I told you so" when he introduced Ivanka Trump at an appearance earlier this week.
He had every right to, especially when it comes to the recent developments concerning his old rival Jeff Sessions.
During the presidential campaign last year, the governor of New Jersey and the then-Senator from Alabama were among the first Republicans to back Donald Trump who said Christie would make "a great attorney general".
Christie lost out to Sessions, who has spent the past year trying to win a place among the worst cabinet picks ever.
Sessions hadn't made it through his confirmation hearing before he made the second biggest mistake in recent political history when he assured Democratic Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota that he had had no contact with Russians during the campaign.
Franken hadn't asked him whether he had any such contacts, but Sessions offered that information anyway. When it later surfaced that Sessions had had a couple of perfunctory meetings with the Russian ambassador, Sessions went to make the biggest mistake in recent political history, recusing himself and letting a special prosecutor take over the probe.
Trump was livid over that dumb move. But it was the Donald's own dumb move that led to the debacle now dominating the headlines.
That move was to name a sitting senator to his cabinet. That put Sessions' safe seat up for grabs. Now it looks like the Democrats might grab it, cutting the GOP margin to a razor-thin 51-49.
That's because of allegations that the GOP nominee, Roy Moore, sexually harassed some teenaged women 40 years ago.
Sessions has come out against Moore, saying "I have no reason to doubt these young women."
And I have no reason to doubt Sessions should have stayed in the Senate.

Howdy freaken Doodie would be better
The Judge outed herself as a paid hit man siding with Fraud Gloria Allred and her tampered yearbook scam .
She is a useless Murdoch hack .
Of course it's politicization, because the former Secretary of State is a Democrat, and the AG not only works for a Republican administration but is a Republican himself. Now, if it were the other way around it would be called pursuit of justice.
And the score is O for 27 after all this time. The DoJ is blatantly corrupt, and Sessions is nothing but a feeble old spokesidiot doing their PR and damage control.
The only hope for justice is for special counsels to be setup separate from Mueller, and staff them with partisan hacks from the right to counter Mueller and his leftist cronies. It's a war out there, and we still don't have one troop on the ground.
Seemed like a good choice at the time.
NEVER! That fat ass RINO campaigned in my home state saying’’Illegal aliens haven’t committed any crimes’’.
As much as I don't care for the blowhard Christie, he was seemingly a law & order U.S. Attorney. Frankly, the dog catcher would be better, at this point, the Rip Van Sessions!
And the score is O for 27 after all this time . .
After how much time? Did someone inside the DOJ give you a playcard? For all you know, they may be complete with those implicated being squeezed for what they know. That was all they were willing to admit to because they could already have them complete except for verification on what they turned over in an effort to save their scrawny butts.
Again, instant karma on your terms is something that really doesn’t matter, period.
The fact is, with all of your protestations, you just don’t know and that is what is bugging the crap out of you.
Don’t get me wrong, I want to see the swamp in swamp cages but to get all of them there is going to take a very big and strong cage so they can be dragged out all at the same time so someone can get to pull the plug without any stray creatures waiting in the shadows to chomp them in the process of pulling it.
The swamp didn’t get to be as onerous as it is in just a year, ten years, or even 50.
Are you serious? I see the way Holder operated as politicization. I see Sessions as professional. I happen to believe they are working behind the scenes the way they should. I don’t think prosecutors should build their cases in front of cameras. I don’t think prosecutors should telegraph their every move. I think prosecutors should quietly investigate and bring charges once their case has been prepared.
We don’t disagree over the goal, we disagree over the process. I readily admit I have no idea what Sessions is really doing, but I think that is how it should be. If Hillary isn’t indicted before the end of DJT’s term, then I’ll agree with you.
I once investigated an ingenious auto parts scheme that allowed for the gradual theft of millions from auto dealers all over the country. Because it was gradual and because computers weren’t what they are today, it went on for years undetected. My office spent more time on that case than Sessions has been in office. The man just hasn’t been given enough time to draw such dire conclusions. That’s all I’m saying.
The time since the crimes, which go back over a year now on many of them. What are you using for a watch, Haley's comet? And on what are you basing your belief that any justice will ever be served, since none has been served yet? Blind hope, is all you got, at best. But misguided loyalty is more likely, while the enemy continues to advance.
From what I see, my house cat would be as good.
I only hope there is improvement soon.
All I hear is it is just not on your schedule. Get over it, stay vigilant, but in the mean time, implied recriminations do nothing but advance the left’s narrative and provides them the comfort zone to propagandize off your displeasure. Not giving them anything to go on will not give them the ammo to propagate false charges using your views as an example.
I can just see the headlines;
Conservatives agree with Hillary.
“I readily admit I have no idea what Sessions is really doing”
You got that right.
When you say "they" exactly who are you talking about?
Because I can tell you after watching several of the testimonies that Sessions gave to Congress live, it is fairly obvious he is not personally involved in any investigations, of anything. He doesn't answer questions not because he doesn't feel he should, he doesn't answer questions because in most cases because he doesn't even know! He's nothing but a figurehead who is out there doing damage control for his beleaguered department.
And his department, the DoJ, is beleaguered for a reason, many reasons in fact. Yet this the "they" you want us to trust?
And neither do you. That’s as it should be.
Why the frantic PR for lame Jeff Sessions?
Those that think that Mueller is doing a great job in secret, and Sessions is actually in control of the DoJ are indeed doing Hillary's work for her. They're just not conservatives.
One thing’s for sure, he would have done a great job of investigating where all the donut shops in the country are.
That was the exact first sentence that popped into my mind.
Mitch McConnell wants Jeff Sessions to go back to the US Senate, instead of Roy Moore. In the US Senate, AG Sessions is only one vote of 100. As AG, he has much power. Why would Mitch McConnell want AG Sessions out of that position unless he’s doing things to drain the swamp? Who would replace him? If the disgusting US Senate gets hold of the confirmation process, you better believe it would be someone who favors the swamp.
