Chris Christie details Trump campaign role, insists 'there would be no Bob Mueller' if he were AG, i

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie recounted his 2016 presidential bid, his friendship with President Trump and the tension between Trump aides during an appearance Saturday on FOX News' "Watters' World" with host Jesse Watters.

Christie also said "there would no Bob Mueller" had Trump selected him to be U.S. attorney general, referring to Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his Russia investigation.
Promoting his new book, "Let Me Finish: Trump, the Kushners, Bannon, New Jersey, and the Power of In-Your-Face Politics," Christie recalled why he was among the first Republicans to endorse Trump for president after ending his own White House bid.

"He was my friend for 15 years at that point but also I campaigned against him," Christie recounted. "I knew he was going to be the Republican nominee and my job, as I saw it, was to endorse him and to go in there and make him the best candidate he could be because we did not Hillary Clinton to be president of the United States."

Chris here" : } -I really piled it on this time ,The next best thing to money and power is bragging rights .
me and Donnie are two peas in a pod where it comes down to bragging rights. It's like there is no such thing as a lie unless you are calling out other people.It is always somebody else or other people in general that are liars and screw up's. Aside from all that,
bragging rights makes one feel confident especially when experiencing a thing like a bridge over troubled waters.

Trump treats him like a lap dog and he keeps going back for one more pat on the head. Pathetic.

I think it's a threat. After all, even if Chris Christie was the Attorney General, Robert Mueller would be alive, wouldn't he? Or is Christie hinting at something darker? Because that sounds like a threat.

trying to convince people he's the best when in fact he's a failure. One thing though, he is the biggest.

Can you imagine if this loud-mouthed, rude, arrogant blow-hole was U.S. A.G.? The thoughts of that are revolting.
