The Manhattan District Attorney Is Coming For David Samson & It Will CRUSH Christie's Windpipe Too.

The Manhattan District Attorney Is Coming For David Samson

As the noose knots around David Samson's neck, it will crush Christie's windpipe, too.

With the news that Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance is now investigating the operations role played by recently departed Port Authority chairman David Samson, Chris Christie's political free fall is screaming toward impact. According to a former Port Authority official, Samson's chief PA assistant -- a lawyer-lobbyist who came to the Port from Samson's law firm -- was at PA headquarters on a daily basis, working with Christie's henchmen Bill Baroni and David Wildstein as they plotted strategy.

5. Of course it will -- what Samson, McKenna, and Drewniak knew, Christie should have

That's why it took so long for Christie to let Samson resign.

And then there's the fact that Samson owns a law firm whose clients did business with the Port Authority -- that's conspiracy no matter how you slice it. There's no need for the Feds to give anyone immunity: Christie will can be nailed on his relationship with Samson alone.

Waiting and waiting. If his political career goes down the toilet, but he doesn't go to prison, I'll be pissed.

I'm from Illinois where we send our crooked governors to prison be they dem or repub.

about?! Was it for Mayor Sokolich's refusal to endorse Christy? That still seems absurd!

Interesting!!..

There never was anything remotely credible about that cover story, but Chris Christie's only other option was to tell the truth and resign. Instead, he wrapped his arms around David Samson and hung on like death. Samson was never willing to take the fall for Christie: He's 74 years old, a man long accustomed to pulling the strings behind closed doors, a Jersey don. Christie has no leverage over him; Samson refused to speak with Christie Report investigators. As the noose knots around Samson's neck, it will crush Christie's windpipe, too.

thanks kpete~

With Cyrus Vance in the mix Christie's officially got more things crawling up his butt than a road kill deer in July! This is what its going to take to bring him down. There's no way everybody will be able to keep their stories straight. What they make up to keep them out of trouble in one investigation is sure to sink them in another.
