Expect NJ republicans to claim this is our party's Christie except their guy is innocent and ours is truly corrupt.

UPDATE: everything I just surmised was articulated on FOX now. (My father has it blasting from the next room.)

then it's no loss to party or country.
We need to go hard line on All cheaters in Cong---not just the people from the other side, imo.

That's not to say I believe he's guilty or innocent-we have to wait for the investigation to be completed...or not
NJ, eh? The timing is interesting...given the daily "wtf's" coming out of the NJ Gov's "government" - Nothing surprises me anymore
Quitting to end the investigation....doesn't look very good....
