Chris-Crossed, for Whom the Bridge Tolls Dept. 2
Dick Polman marvels at the disparate treatment.
We all know what would happen. The mainstream media would nail Clinton for the “perception” that a “shadow” had been cast over her campaign. They would assail her for refusing to dump the aide. They would amplify Donald Trump’s inevitable declaration that this episode proved the perfidy of “Crooked Hillary.”
But since Trump is inexplicably permitted to play by banana-republic rules, there will be no such equivalent oucry over the fact that his own transition leader, Chris Christie, was outed yesterday in federal court by a prosecutor who said he was fully aware of the bridge closures while they were happening. It was a milestone moment in the long-running scandal, the first time that a federal official has said such a thing in a formal judicial proceeding, and it flatly contradicted Christie’s long-running lie (which he repeated Sunday on CNN) that he has been exonerated by all the investigations.
More troubled waters at the link.

Right after the prosecutor broke the news about Chris Christie knowing all along about the bridge closure (tacitly approving it, of course), someone posted TRUMPHUCKER exclaiming the damning evidence that of course he knew it….. NO Secrets amongst those scoundrels, eh?

With that lot, expect the worst.
The Republican Party has become a vile and loathsome thing. Sometimes I wonder what Ev Dirksen would think of his party were he to rise from the grave.
No, I don’t wonder. He was a rock-ribbed small-c conservative, but he had integrity. He would be appalled.
