Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that former President Donald Trump is increasing the likelihood he would be indicted over his handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Christie said, “I think these are all self-inflicted wounds by Donald Trump. And you know, one of the things that I always say to clients are, you know, don’t out loud fight with the Department of Justice. Like, you know, we’ll fight in court and do the things we need to do. He’s doing the exact opposite. His lawyers aren’t fighting any of this in court. They’re really not. They’re not putting forward any of these arguments. He’s putting forward all these arguments on television. There comes a point where prosecutors are human too. And you want to keep daring them. They may just actually do it.”

What a moronic remark. Nothing you say outside of court is relevant to the judges or the opposition, unless you’re threatening people. You can make any number of claims in public that you don’t make in court. And Trump is definitely doing that regarding the MAL search. The only risk Trump faces is that he could be forced to contradict his public statements in court which would make him look bad.
The limited point Christie is making here is valid. Trump is fighting this stuff in the press while his lawyers aren’t willing to advance these arguments in court. That”s a bad strategy for anyone.
Chris would crush him like a bug.
Christie would have to be the “bottom”.
That isn't always true. It should always be true, but it isn't. Christie's point is that there is a political component to this, and battling in the press is making his situation worse because it will make it politically more acceptable to indict.
Best strategy is to play it all very straight, so that if they look to indict, it'll look far more political.
As Churchill once said “ .. there’s no need to throw a stone a every dog that barks.. “!
No
I have been deluged once in Florida.
Gonna be deluged again next week, if you are still there. Lol.
Got the Trump Truth post of Christie at Hardee’s at 12PM?
The DOJ fights in the press with leaks. Most defendants are helpless against their onslaught and they are used to just running all over anyone they don’t like. Trump has a big enough megaphone that he can fight back. They hate that.
"Constitutional Republic"
LOL, I hear ya...
Have another donut Chris.
Christie thinks declassified means it’s a made up word from a movie.
Shut up fatso go have an ice cream cone
