Why is Chris Christie on all the networks this morning?

What does a person have to do to lose credibility? i swear if the White House were to present Charles Manson as a surrogate, the Networks would interview him as if it were normal.

Missed that story, but I got to tell you I can't keep my TV on for more than 5 minutes without getting deeply depressed.

Bridgegate: Feds seek 'meaningful' jail term for former Christie allies

Calling their crimes a "stunningly brazen and vindictive abuse of power," federal prosecutors urged a federal judge to sentence both Bill Baroni and Bridget Kelly, convicted last year in the Bridgegate scandal, to a "meaningful term of imprisonment."

But in a pre-sentence report filed Monday, the U.S. Attorney's office did not ask for the maximum term. Instead, they recommended a sentence for the two Bridgegate defendants to be "at the bottom or modestly below" the federal sentencing guidelines of between 37 to 46 months in prison.

Such a term, though, would still stand in stark sentence to the year of home confinement handed down earlier this month to David Samson, the former chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, after he pleaded guilty to bribery in connection with the shakedown of United Airlines so he could get a more convenient flight to his country estate in South Carolina.
