knew who she was texting as well as the contents of the text at that time.
Now do I believe he knew? Probably he did but my belief is irrelevant.

.... to explain. You also have the chief of Police for Ft. Lee and others to paint a
picture that something nasty was going on.

Christie is fucked one way or another.

1) As governor of N.J. he didn't know that the bustiest bridge in America was shut down = incompetent

b) He knew and is guilty of all kinds of things.

Google "Hogan's Heroes" if you're not familiar with the character.

Am I the only one who sees a resemblance (beyond physical appearance)?

Is he saying lies were told in the courtroom? And in the media?

And he's going to prove them to be lies?

Interesting. Nipping it in the bud comes to mind

You can't make it stick. That's a really interesting defense.

Looking forward to the day Christie is fitted for an orange jumpsuit.
