2. found this: Chris Christie Isn’t Out From Under Bridgegate Just Yet

September 22. 2014

Attention, media: The New Jersey governor may not have been implicated so far in the Bridgegate probe, and his own attorney may have exonerated him, but you can’t say he’s off the hook.
Some members of the media have been echoing Chris Christie’s long-stated assertion that he is scandal-free. Just one small problem: There is no evidence to suggest that is true.

Unnamed “federal officials” told WNBC on Friday that the New Jersey governor has not yet been implicated in the investigation into Bridgegate being conducted by the U.S. attorney in New Jersey, Paul Fishman. A few journalists took that to mean Christie had been exonerated: The Washington Post and the NBC Nightly News initially misinterpreted the report, with the latter issuing a correction immediately afterward. However unintentionally, the reaction was surely what Christie wanted.

The governor’s own playbook for coping with scandal is simple: First, publicly repent. Second, conduct an investigation into yourself that concludes you did nothing wrong. Last, dismiss anyone who continues to ask questions about your involvement in the scandal as politically motivated and remind them that, duh, you already were exonerated by your own attorney.

Mostly, he has been successful. “There are very few people who have been following this who think Chris Christie is being completely honest, but they don’t think his dishonesty moves him into the realm of criminality,” Patrick Murray, a pollster at Monmouth University, told The Daily Beast. Further helping Christie is the constant hounding by the liberal media, particularly MSNBC, and by Democratic lawmakers in Trenton, playing into the belief that—guilty or not—he is the subject of a partisan witch hunt.

3. There have been no indictments yet

Not even the people who we know were involved have been indicted yet. The investigation has not been closed yet either however, and it does not seem likely that it will close without any indictments, Kelly and Wildstein at the very least. The prosecutor is taking his time, but this is not over.

6. this is still going on?

I thought bridgegate was over when Christie's self appointed investigator found no wrongdoing?

Now, about Benghazi and Obama using all those bullshit GOP reports to hide the truth from the GOP........

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

undocumented allegations against the President are not welcome on DU.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Dec 3, 2014, 01:47 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alert-er, I feel that the post in question is sarcasm.

Note that he/she talks about self appointed investigator then about "Bullshit" GoP reports being used to hide Benghazi from the GoP. Think about it for a minute. They are calling the GOP's reports bullshit because the allegations against the president are bullshit, and he (the president) is now using their own reports against them to "hide the truth." I take that as obvious tongue and cheek.

That said the poster should have added the "sarcasm" tag...

I really think you jumped the gun in alerting on this. Sorry, but voting to leave alone.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
