Impeachment is for Democrats.

Chicanery, double-dealing and generally sociopathic behavior is not only expected, but required of Republicans.

If some one flips...not only could he be impeached and removed from office. ...remember it's a 2 step process, he would face criminal charges as well as some civil suits.
It does depend on flipping somebody. I dare say there is no written document that is directly from Christie

Or even to the people who report directly to him. Except maybe this...

I mean, do you honestly think he'd go through all this trouble and leave a trail of breadcrumbs right to his front door? What fun is that?

The evidence is that there IS no evidence. If he honestly didn't know what was going on, he would have started firing people well over a month ago. Nobody told him anything? Why tell him what he already knew?

Let's see what happens when witnesses are called and granted immunity from prosecution.

Remember, lawyers cannot commit crimes and keep their licenses.

I predict a future as a lobbyist.

What goes around, comes around. So those who impeach (i.e. politicians) do not impeach others (i.e. politicians). Sigh, what a great system of law (for politicians).

Out of office before he finishes the first year of his second term.
