by lying his butt off...
He's was messing up my plans to see him verbally assault Jindal, Walker, Cruz or Rubio or whoever else in the primaries..

If one email refutes him now, he's out of office.

He doesn't need to have said anything in the emails, his name just has to be one of those redacted.
If he was cc'd or sent a copy of those emails, he is toast.

(27,787 posts)He is not copied. The paper trail will not reach him personally.
Ok, maybe he was not copied himself.
But those redacted names are damaging to him otherwise they wouldn't have redacted them

(15,435 posts)they going to become UN-redacted? I'm not being facetious, I really want to know if this is at all possible.

(710 posts)Well, I think there are 2 ways.
One is if Christie willing gives up the originals without the redacted names.
The other (and I could be wrong) is if a criminal investigation ensues, and the full emails are required to see who was aware and who was involved. but I could be wrong

(15,435 posts)AND I really wonder if anyone will really push this very far. I'm thinking this because he's known about this for so long and really didn't say squat until ANY emails surfaced. He COULD have set up an investigative team on day one! Instead he joked and let it play out until the "sh-t hit the fan!"
Who really knows? He's such a smooth operator and it seems lies come 2nd nature to him. Just how I feel.

(15,435 posts)How many heard the comments about how many Democrats where "willing" to let this thing die on the vine? Even Wiezneski (sp) had done little until recently. The guy got elected by hoards of Democrats. And big time Democrats MUST have had something to do with this!
He had very little opposition from Dems, which of course ticked me off no end... still he road the rail and got them on his side!

(10,437 posts)this was the only tactic he could take. Sooner or later people will flip when faced with prison time. An deputy chief of staff does not go rogue...
climate of retribution can not be covered up now.
ChiciB1
(15,435 posts)way too far, but given the climate of the American electorate today, al la Duck Dynasty ignorance, my gut says he just may skate!
I'm waiting to hear what Limp-butt and his ilk will be saying. I do realize the dynamic of those tea-party types, but as one who is quite cynical of so much these days... even the ego maniacal idiocy of Rushbo could find a way to find some way to resurrect this Christie fiasco!
Is Christie lying? It's extremely hard for me and many around me to believe him, but we ALL know what mea culpa's do!
Slimy & sickening, but what else is new here?
JMHO!
