Chris Christie and the Bridge Scandal

Superfreak said:
Tell us Garud... if he was elected Governor in Ohio, despite his 'managing director' title at Lehman, in a state that has voted Dem for President the past two election cycles... how is it that you think it will hurt him NOW? He was much closer in time to the Lehman collapse when he ran for governor.

Agreed.

"John Richard Kasich (/ˈkeɪsɨk/; born May 13, 1952)[2] is the 69th Governor of Ohio, in office since 2011.[3] A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as a member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Ohio's 12th congressional district from 1983 to 2001.[4] He was a commentator on Fox News Channel, hosting Heartland with John Kasich (2001-2007); he also worked as an investment banker, as managing director of Lehman Brothers's Columbus, Ohio office (until the firm collapsed in 2008).[5][6]"

So, he managed the Columbus, Ohio Office.

It's a title Jarod. He was a member of their Board of Directors. He didn't hold an oprational position. That was beat to death by Strickland in the 2010 campaign...and Strickland lost.

You sure about that? I don't think he ever served on the board of Lehman... that board was a pretty tight group and Kasich only worked there for 7-8 years. He was listed as a managing director of the Lehman Columbus, OH office.

That was Kasich's line during his campaign. That he was a board member and an adviser at Lehmans. Now whether that is true or not...I don't honestly know.

Interesting... I can't say for certain, but past history with Lehman would make me doubt he was on the board. That said, you never know with the political types. They may have given him a seat since they love sucking up to politicians. I simply don't recall him being on the board... which is simply that... my memory... could be faulty on this issue.

LMAO... keep spinning Garud... he worked for a firm that went bankrupt... it happens. I would be willing to bet Hillary has bigger skeletons than that.

Lol. That RW wacko Ken Starr couldn't find skeletons and neither could the repubs during the 2008 campaign. What else do you think is hidden?

Getting this thread back on track, apparently the US Attorney's Office in New Jersey is looking into the matter. That can't be good.

Clearly, nobody on this board is from the region. This is huge. Closing down the GW bridge for 4 days created a catastrophe. Internal emails now show that it was done out of spite...one of Christie's pet actions for those who don't agree with him.

So far, he's insulated himself. If we are to believe him when he says he didn't know about this, how can the governor of a state ignore a major catastrophe that went on for 4 days? He actually joked about it when it was still happening, claiming 'I was working the cones...didn't you see me out there?'. At the time, he claimed that he consulted his entire staff about this supposed 'traffic study'.

This isn't just some congested bridge. 3 states converge on that bridge, and NYC was essentially cut off from upstate.
 
Yep, the dunce leftist media now wonders if Christie can politically survive thus huge scandal. Funny how there was never any doubt with Obama after the Benghazi fiasco, or the Mexican gun running scandal, or the IRS scandal; but when it comes to hidldebeast and Obummer; WHAT DOES IT MATTER!!!!

That's because none of the above are scandals, unless you're one of Issa's dunces.

This isn't a scandal. It's a spiteful move aimed at Senate Dems in NJ, for a 3 year fight over Supreme Court issues. This is just beginning. It might not mean anything on the natl. level, but when this is said and done, it may very well cause Christie to step down.


He can't lie his way past the facts that are about to be presented.

Wrong again dunce; when the IRS engages in political targeting it is a massive scandal. When our Government allows automatic rifles to get into the hands of Mexican criminals resulting in the deaths of border patrol agents, it is a huge scandal. When our Government tries to cover the State Departments incompetence in Benghazi that resulted in four American deaths claiming it was a spontaneous protest, it is a scandal.

But not if you're a kool-aid swilling Liberal dunce. Oh no, the Christie bridge scandal is a BIG deal.

There is no evidence that Christie had anything to do with bridgegate; that is the willful hate mongering of dunces on the
Left who have convinced themselves that Christie is the biggest threat to the Hildebeast who has been divined to be our first woman President by a mainstream media practicing malfeasance.
