Report: Chris Christie’s Bridgegate probe clears gov

I do?

do you have a quote to support your claim, or are you making up stuff the way Christie did before this mess blew up in his face?

And example:

I had a suspicion you had no argument to make

Just another case of the right wing throwing mud and hoping some of it would stick

That pretty much describes all of these "scandals"

You play down the IRS scandal when all that has been completed at this point is the internal investigation.

So do you think there is more to the IRS story than the internal investigation has revealed?
 
I want to point out something and tell me if I'm wrong.

Obama Investigations- Led by Congress and primarily Republicans. Not only have Republicans in the house proven to be a critic of the President they've shown they will do anything and follow any lead possible to bring down the President. The conclusions of those "scandals" haven't been anything close to what was promised by Issa and other House Republicans.

Christie Investigation- The state and Federal investigations are still collecting evidence. He was "exonerated" by a law firm that has close ties to Christie and in fact some of the investigators have personal ties to Christie.

I'll personally wait until the official investigations end.


Is the House investigation complete? Has the Obama administration been cooperative?
 
Incorrect. Repub Issa has been investigating and has found nothing

He found an Obama appointment in charge of the program who has plead the 5th. Stop lying.

Nothing wrong with that

Besides, the investigation into Christie has found a Christie appointment who will plead the 5th unless they get immunity
 
Nothing wrong with that

So on one hand we have the possibility of slowing down bridge traffic in in one State versus a highly important arm of the Federal Government, with power over Americans everywhere, playing political favorites and using their power for selective auditings. And you feel a traffic slowdown is just as important??

So you see nothing wrong with the IRS finding not corruption, but the head of the program stonewalls the investigation on the grounds that her testimony may incriminate her?

You really have an amazing blind spot.
 
It doesn't matter he's toast anyway.

I think that was the Democrat's (and biased media) point behind the entire exercise. Don't you?

As to the biased media, do you suppose for even a single second that these findings will be given as much publicity as the maligning accusations they've all made against Christie?

Ha! Not a chance in hell. I suspect that this'll be back page news, effectively buried.
 
So an investigation organized by Christie, and carried out by a firm with close ties to Christie, concluded that Christie wasn't involved?

Shocking!! :roll:

Yeah, kinda like the IRS investigation where Holder appoints a prominent Obama supporter and contributor as the principal investigator. Equally shocking.
 
Hey, that's great news, too bad the Republican's will never nominate him, in my opinion the Republicans will nominate a Tea Party type. ie. Cruz. Christie would be tough to beat.

You are right on the money. even before this scandal hit Christie could not have gotten the nomination in such a right wing environment. Now he is simply damaged goods.
 
Watch out, the double standard crew is meeting now to formulate how they dismiss this.

You mean like what you guys do when it turns out Obama wasn't aware of some scandal at a lower level?

Ironic
 

Really? Have I supported the findings of the Christy investigation?

Back to my question you dodged: As you do with the Christy investigation, do you think there is more to the IRS story than the internal investigation has revealed?

It's the top story under the NY Times politics section

There's a huge difference

When Christie investigates himself, the right believes it

Yep, just like that...Don't confuse, I am not a Christie supporter...But this is the era that Obama created....Christie would have never tried this sort of 'internal' crap had he not seen Obama get away with it since 2009.

:lamo
They really do believe everything is Obama's fault. Definitely the party of personal responsibility, these guys.

And you really do buy the lame excuses coming out of the administration....Definitely the party of no responsibility, and incompetence. :lamo

Well, I'll be. Imagine that. An occasional bit of honest from the press.

There's a huge difference

And when Obama investigates himself, via his DOJ and his AG, the left believes it. I'm not seeing your huge difference here.

It's only acceptable when Liberals investigate themselves and find no wrong doing. When a Republican does it, it's obviously just BS and he's guilty as hell.

YOu didn't see the media reporting on this story, even though it did, so what you see and don't see is not particularly relevant.
 
Is the House investigation complete? Has the Obama administration been cooperative?

Which one? The IRS one is still "ongoing" but it seems as if the House's MO when it comes to investigations is to throw out tons of charges, collect information, and when they don't find the evidence to support their charges it fizzles out.

As for the Obama administration not being cooperative. I guess I'd need some examples? It seems like this is the cycle for every "scandal" of the Obama Administration.

Something is found...no matter what it's linked to Obama and his administration....there tends to be a lot of speculation and conspiracy theories. Investigations occur and lots of sound bites from House Republicans and Senators. The investigators don't find anything to support the speculation and conspiracy theories. Republican House members and Senators say the reason nothing was found is because stuff is being hidden.

I mean...it's hard to take those investigations seriously.

IRS investigation is presently stonewalled by Lerner only pleading the 5th regardless of which question is asked, although I've heard that a appointing special prosecutor is being considered.

Benghazi is effectively stonewalled by the administration alone.
