Christie: "Feds Have Evidence Against Trump Beyond Cohen"

[louis c]

Source: MSN.com

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said that President Donald Trump’s team should be concerned about the indictment against Michael Cohen because the language used in it suggests that federal prosecutors have further corroborating evidence.

"The language in the sentencing memo is different from what we've heard before," Christie explained. "The only thing that would concern me if I was the president's team this morning about this sentencing memo is the language."

"The language sounds very definite. And what I'd be concerned about is, what corroboration do they have?" he continued. “Because everyone knows that Michael Cohen is not going to be the most effective or trustworthy witness on the stand, given some of his past statements."

“When prosecutors sound that definitive they've got more usually than just one witness."

1. Most if not all of Trump's minions left trails a blind man could follow

Regular cell phone calls, unencrypted emails, wire transfers, etc.

I suspect that Mueller has additional witnesses and an extensive paper trail of evidence.

[George II]

4. Every time one of those republican talking heads say "we haven't seen any evidence" I scream...

...at the television. They're not going to give up the evidence until they need to.

I'm sure the prosecutors have reams of evidence - audio tapes (remember Cohen taped everything and the FBI seized it all), documents, bank statements, phone records, etc.

AND, since the FISA court approved a wire tap on the Russian bank headquarters (which coincidentally had it's offices in trump tower), they have tapes of calls going out AND in to that bank office.

5. Same here

I wonder if they even know what "evidence" means. Clearly, they hope if they keep denying something, it will go away.

[Journeyman]

6. They're like the audience at a three act play, decrying there's no resolution in the first act . . .

[Late Knight]

20. Excellent Point

These are also the people who, as children, drove their parents insane on car trips with the constant refrain of "are we there yet?"

[FakeNoose]

10. Chris Christie isn't really a "talking head" though

He's a former prosecutor and Attorney General of NJ.

I think he's saying this stuff to remind Trump that he could have had Chris Christie on his team. Maybe he thinks he's auditioning for a DoJ job, I don't know. Regardless of what we think of him as a Governor, Christie was actually a fireball prosecutor in his day.

[George II]

11. Right. He said that Mueller "has enough evidence", I'm talking about the other clowns....

....like Steve Cortez, Dave Urban, that idiot from the Carolinas (can't remember his name), et. al. who continuously say there hasn't been any evidence, ONLY because there hasn't been any released yet.

Hey idiots (not you, them!) wait for the trials!!!

[Haggis for Breakfast]

14. I'm no fan, but Chris Christie had an impressive record as a prosecutor.

And he's a sharp legal mind.

I find it interesting that he's speaking out at this time. Makes me wonder what HE knows. Has he talked to Mueller as well ?

[John Fante]

31. Intuition, most likely.

He knows how the game is played.

[Honeycombe8]

7. Not the least of which was Jr's email response "I LOVE it!"....

when he rec'd an email about meeting w/the Russians because they have dirt on Clinton.

[Perseus]

2. The repubs continue to say "there is no proof of collusion with Russia"

Well, there seems to be proof of "conspiring with Russia", the word "collusion" is not the problem, that is just a word repubs want to use to hide the real problem, because people do not seem to understand that "collusion" is the same as "conspiracy"...

Christie can claim that there has been no proof of collusion, but he doesn't know that, at this time he knows as much as everyone else outside of the Muller circle.

[Journeyman]

8. There is, however, evidence of "synergy" -- which is even more damning . . .

[underpants]

26. The lazy media settled on "collusion" from the beginning

I wonder who started it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the right much as they called ARRA "the stimulus" simply to set their claims that it didn't work. It did.

[marble falls]

3. So I guess Christie is pissed off over the Barr appointment.

[Scruffy1]

19. I think he's just speaking as an experienced prosecutor.

Not even Christie would want anything to do with a job from the shithouse.

[marble falls]

21. He was still being mentioned for AG when Sessions went South.

[cstanleytech]

9. Either they have witnesses or tapes and if its tapes then everyone involved would be well

advised to contact Mueller and try for a plea bargain pronto because the last ones to try are the ones that will be hung out to dry.

12. Remember

Christie was the one who sent Jared's dad to prison.

13. Chris here : }

Let me bring it in with some blunt talk. In order to keep Donnie focused on his rage attacks which is helpful in the larger picture down investigative lines, the fed keeps it contained in two scoops, easy for Donnie to wrap his mind around. What most likely is going down is more of a power packed cone or a Roy'al Cone with many scoops . I say at current no rock hard evidence of collusion has been brought to the surface and that is most likely because, if it exists, it is kept out of sight deep within the cone !


On the flip side, Trump is considering kicking Pence under the bus ,that to consideration I would say there is no collusion because the back door to the oval office may be swinging open slowly and the only one I can see walking in is me !


The only way Trump will vacate the office of the presidency ,that is step down is having full assurance he will be granted a full pardon of any and all crimes. I can't think of anybody other than me going that far out there on the limb than just do it.


And that's a bridge I can get it over on !

[Haggis for Breakfast]

15. Is that photo-shopped ?

Was Christie really that heavy at one time ?

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

16. Actually yes, his weight issues

lead to surgery that helped him reduce his weight. And friends of his, one in particular, convinced him to become a vegetarian.Surely such a pal wouldn't convince Christie to give up the the kind of food so good he wouldn't give up himself. 2 peas in a pod so goes the saying. He stayed with the sweets and no doubt falls off the wagon with that diet. He had the surgery when he was governor with plans to run for the presidency. Don't know what he ate for breakfast back than but I imagine it was a heap'en help'en of everything and

[calimary]

17. Just think, Christie, all of this could have been YOURS.

There's still time to get in. Chief-of-Staff job's opening up. You could finally get inside the Oval Office (where I suspect you've always felt you're entitled to be).

[AndJusticeForSome]

18. It's like everyone forgot that Cohen taped his conversations nt

[Rorey]

29. That's amazing to me too. NT

[mickswalkabout41]

22. Why do we care

What that man thinks or even how he feels? Why are we so shocked when these culpable individuals suddenly get a conscience? I don’t believe a word, nor do I care.

[louis c]

23. It's how we can measure the timeline of the coming storm...

...as former sycophants abandon Trump, jump ship and cover their bases, we know how close we are getting to the end game.

We need 20 Republican Senators to tell Trump he has to go. As supporters weaken, so will the requisite number of Senators.

[gldstwmn]

24. Flynn wore a wire. Please let it be true. n/t

[riversedge]

25. Trump just makes fun of Mueller and his evidence. Karma is around the corner to meet Trump

[Turbineguy]

27. In their eagerness to betray their country

Trump's Little Elves have left lots of breadcrumbs.

[blm]

28. Trump's attorneys should ask their client what more corroborates Cohen testimony.

Or....they won’t ask because they are already certain he is unable to be honest....even with them.

[no_hypocrisy]

30. Christie loses COS position *TWICE* with that comment.

Way to smoke!

[Flaleftist]

32. A recording perhaps?
