"Christie Under Federal Investigation for Alleged Misuse of Hurricane Sandy Relief F"

[Edgetho]

This was predictable. The last attempt to take him down didn't work out like they had hoped, so now it's time to dig for more. Doesn't even matter if they find anything, they'll still talk about this through 2016.

I do hope an investigation covers the whole relief effort because some states suffered much longer than the media cared to report.

well, the previous attempt was a lame stream media hysteria seizure.

This is a clear cut government persecution of the political foe.

Nothing at all like the IRS targeting the Tea Party

 

[martybegan]

Your denial should suffice. I would really like it if you could put my quotes in lights.

excuse me......the GOP was against the bill as written because of all of the non sandy related pork in it.
They all agreed to sign it if it were a clean bill.

Seems you weren't paying attention at the time.

The most high-profile Congressman on the list is Paul Ryan, failed vice presidential nominee. It also includes Mo Brooks, Ted Yoho, Ron DeSantis, Steven Palazzo and John Fleming from Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi, all of which are states that received much-needed federal aid following Hurricane Katrina, the only hurricane in American history that was more costly than Sandy. Speaker Boehner did not vote.

This list also includes the entire Republican representation from Arizona, Kansas, Maryland, Montana and New Mexico (Maryland, Montana and New Mexico are only represented by one Republican each).

And this has exactly what to do with the topic at hand?

so WHAT?

they voted RIGHT - the bill full of unrelated pork should not have been passed

A follow-up on votes for the Sandy relief bill. This was the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act. There was a bill just for immediate relief, listed above. This was a follow-up that did things like help fix roofs where there was none and get people a little heat and the most basic of living arrangements. Democrats had to bend over backwards just to get these Republicans to support the bill. Heaven forbid a Republican would do anything but cut taxes for the rich.

exactly.

or the typical FASCIST law rammed through by lying scum - democratic party - everybody has to pay their tribute to the selected big pockets otherwise the Government will persecute the ones which don't.

If it didn't matter I would throw my hands up and walk away. Damn these righties are as dumb as a brick.

President Christie is going to be such a welcome breath of fresh air.

The TPM should be taxed for taking up valuable oxygen.

you just dont want to get it.

And therefore, you don't.

The bill had billions slated for non sandy issues...they were inserted in there to "benefit" red states (yes, red states).....now....why would Reid do that?

He wanted 7 GOP votes making it filibuster proof.

And Boehner did not like that game.

He wanted a clean bill.

Reid wanted to play politics with peoples lives.

And the hits just keep on comin ...

He's got some problems.

That's politics. If you can't stand the heat, get out and join Fox News.

 

[whitehall]

Do you really want Barry Hussein for a pal? Christie apparently thought that kissing the democrat president's ass would get him all sorts of considerations but he forgot he was a republican. Now the freaking criminal A.G. who used to work for Mrs Clinton's husband thinks a traffic jam trumps investigation into the death of a US ambassador and three bodyguards and a federal Border Patrol agent.

Christie laid with the dogs. Now he has fleas!
