Do You Think Chris Christie....

[Laxman]

is holding a grudge against Kushner for sinking his chances at a cabinet position? Geez Chris, saying Kushner deserves scrutiny is really going out on a limb and making an observation that nobody else has. I can only wonder what Governor Bridgegate could have done with a scandal like Russian collusion. Alas, we'll never know. Meanwhile, here he is demonstrating the greatest skill he learned from the GWB scandal, throwing somebody else under the bus.....

Christie: Kushner 'deserves the scrutiny' in Mueller probe

Gov. Chris Christie on Tuesday said Jared Kushner "deserves to be scrutinized" in the Russia collusion probe because Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and adviser, attended the transition team meetings in question as a senior adviser.

Asked during an interview with MSNBC whether Kushner -- whose father Christie prosecuted and jailed when Christie was New Jersey's U.S. attorney -- deserves to be scrutinized by the special counsel investigation, Christie didn't hesitate in his response: Of course, the governor said.

Christie, a longtime Trump confident and fellow Republican, stressed it doesn't mean Kushner ran afoul of the law.

Rather, Kusher -- who, like Christie, is a Livingston native -- should be looked at simply because of his role with the transition, Christie said.

"I'm telling you that he deserves the scrutiny," the governor said. "You know why? Because he was involved in the transition and involved in meetings that call into question his role.

"OK, well, then if he's innocent of that, then that will come out as Mueller examines all the facts," Christie added. "And if he's not, that will come out, too."

1. Yes, the GOP and Christie in particular really is that petty.

2. Kushner did Christie a favor.

By being the architect of Christie's departure he put Christie in a lifeboat so he won't go down on the Trump version of the Titanic.

3. Christie took down Kushner's father on Federal charges

when Christie was DA in New Jersey...If anyone's holding a grudge, it's likely Kushner' against Christie, not the reverse -- It. may, in fact be, the reason Christie did. NOT get the White House job in the first place.
