Why would Mayor Zimmer lie?

[madaboutharry]

It doesn't make sense that she would go home and write down a false account of conversations she had with Christie officials. But, the push back against her is very predictable. She knew she would be attacked for speaking out.

1. went to Google news

to see what, if any, legs the Hoboken angle was getting, was it just MSNBC?.
Holy crap!!.
Every paper in the country and as far as Europe has the story. Not even the email release got this much coverage.

6. I think I am caught up now....any recordings?

7. I think someone posted the link from Kornacki's entire program this morning

That is a serious recording.
How are you feeling today?

[HipChick]

9. Is that bad that i am smiling?...

Feeling good but not up to doing too much...Thanks for asking...

[malaise]

10. It's good that you're smiling

I'm ROFL at every new exposure

"...image blown to smithereens".

20. Karma....

You never know when its going to bite you in the arse...

2. Repubbies always try to smear truth tellers

It is a key part of the OCCULTIST strategy -- to try and divert attention from the truth. Smear & Squirm (R)

4. She seemed very credible to me, and, I suspect, most people. n/t

[Beach Rat]

5. She's Not.

The mayor of Sea Bright got a similar talk. She endorsed Christie and the aid has been lining up to get into that tiny shore town. Not that they don't need it.

22. And she's a Dem, too. Do you think she'd be willing to come foward?

8. Time to Impeach Christie & Guadagno

Does anyone know what office/person is next in line?

[Laxman]

13. Senate President...

Steve Sweeney.

11. I don't think she would-retribution is de rigueur in NJ

The only way she could protect herself from swift and terrible retribution is if she armed herself with the truth. And all the pro-Christie tweets her detractors are using as evidence of her lying? If compensation for her city was incumbent upon Christie's goodwill, what good would doing otherwise do her constituents?

Don't look for any hard evidence against Christie though--he was a prosecutor and as such I am sure he acquainted himself with the mechanics of "How Not To Get Caught". I am sure, unless someone was wearing a wire, there isn't one iota of incriminating evidence against him.

[DURHAM D]

12. You don't think the Lt. Governor would roll on Christie

when she faces the FBI and US Justice Department?

[dorkzilla]

14. I DO, but unless she written or taped evidence...

…the Christie supporters will just accuse her of lying to save her own skin.

[DURHAM D]

15. By then there won't be anymore Christie supporters.

The swamp will be drained.

I was just trying to figure out if the FBI has enough equipment to tap all the phones in NJ that need to be tapped.

[dorkzilla]

16. He's a Rethug, there will always be plenty to take his part because he has an R after his name

It doesn't matter how much evidence there is to the contrary, they'll just go on believing. Think about the beatification of Reagan and Bush II.

17. The fact that Hoboken has received so little of the hurricane Sandy funds

gives credibility to her story. There has to be a reason for it.

[Laxman]

21. Hoboken Has Received...

about $14 million in Sandy relief money since the storm. That was principally from FEMA. That is a statistic you are sure to hear in the coming days. The real story is the share of the HUD CDBG money that makes up the bulk of the assistance provided to NJ. Very little (approx.$46,000) has gone to Hoboken thus far. There are several reasons for that. The state has almost total control of the $1.4 billion in this pot. A good deal of this should have been distributed by now. A good deal of it should not because it needs to be spent correctly (not building buildings or infrastructure in places where it will only be flooded again by the next storm). There certainly should have been more CDBG money obligated to Hoboken by now and you can bet if it would have benefited Rockefeller & Wolff & Samson it would have been by now.
