I hope, but won't count on, MSNBC grilling Chris Christie on the on the Kushner pardon.

They're always so easy on him.

Charles Kushner, meanwhile, had been prosecuted by then-US Attorney for New Jersey Chris Christie in the early 2000s for tax evasion, witness tampering and illegal campaign contributions.
He eventually pleaded guilty to 16 counts of tax evasion, one count of retaliating against a federal witness -- his brother-in-law -- and another count of lying to the Federal Election Commission.
Christie in early 2019 went on to say that Charles Kushner committed "one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes" he had prosecuted, referring to an elaborate revenge plot that the older Kushner hatched in 2003 in order to target his brother-in-law, William Schulder, a former employee turned witness for federal prosecutors in their case against Kushner.

given to that scumbag Charles Kushner by the guy Christie sucked up to so long and so obsequiously, and for no reason other than the fact that Charles is Jared's father and Jared hates Christie.
