So,
After the load of money wasted on Bridge-gate, the tempest in a teapot that was Hurricane Sandy-gate, now, we have what looks to be another attempt to go after Gov Chris Christie and his administration. Now, just to make a blanket statement, I find it highly suspicious when any administration of any Yankee state claims not be a corrupt pile of filth. Here in the South, we know the administration is corrupt, we assume there is something somewhere, we just hope that the people involved are not too horrible and keep things discrete and on the socially acceptable level. For example, it's pretty common to hire your family and contract friend's companies to do things and most people yawn at those kinds of things. Running a child porn ring in the state capitol will likely get you lynched.
Back to my point, this very long article by International Business Times and reposted on MSN news seeks to make waste a lot of words to accuse Chris Christie of dismissing some indictments of supposed supporters and make a big wind over the fact that the DOJ has assigned some investigators to look into the matter. Well, don't I feel relieved that the same group that has so handily managed to both the investigation of IRS corruption is going to look into the Christie administration? In a word, no.

Federal law enforcement officials have launched a criminal investigation of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and members of his administration, pursuing allegations the governor and his staff broke the law when they quashed grand jury indictments against Christie supporters, International Business Times has learned.
Two criminal investigators from the U.S. Department of Justice on Wednesday interviewed the man who leveled those charges, Bennett Barlyn. He was fired from the Hunterdon County prosecutor's office in August 2010, and subsequently brought a whistleblower lawsuit against the Christie administration, claiming he had been punished for objecting to the dismissal of the indictments of the governor's supporters for a range of corrupt activities.
So, could this be a shot at Christie from the Obama administration trying to derail him yet again?
Christie is an ass, no doubt, but you have to admire the fact he stands up, admits it and gets down to business.
