Trump threatens to investigate Chris Christie's "criminal acts' after ABC News interview

Trump threatens Chris Christie after ABC News interview: 'For the sake of justice' - Raw Story https://share.google/6aORuWHXEGjgi3yuV



Chris Christie, who advised Trump during his first term, joined the ABC News show "This Week" on Sunday to discuss recent moves the Trump administration made. At one point, Christie said Trump sees himself as "the person who gets to decide everything" and that he "rejects the idea that there should be any separation between criminal investigations and the politically elected leader of the United States."


Trump responded to Christie's claims on Truth Social on Sunday night.



Can anyone believe anything that Sloppy Chris says?" Trump's post reads. "Do you remember the way he lied about the dangerous and deadly closure of the George Washington Bridge in order to stay out of prison, at the same time sacrificing people who worked for him, including a young mother, who spent years trying to fight off the vicious charges against her."


"Chris refused to take responsibility for these criminal acts. For the sake of JUSTICE, perhaps we should start looking at that very serious situation again? NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!" the post adds.

He successfully prosecuted and sent to prison, Jared Kushner’s father, Charles Kushner, who hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, while arranging to record the sexual encounter between the two, and then send the tape - to his own sister!

Trump, of course, pardoned him, and today he is the American ambassador to France!!

up some empathy for Christie, but he is "saying" the right things. I wonder if TSF has the cell phone that was in the possesion of Chris Wray. THE bridgegate cellphone. Hmmm.

The GOP could fight back and save all of America from this insanity before none of them have any face left. Otherwise, I hope Christie enjoys the ride.

Christie was a solid prosecutor and knows the System.

Not mention that it's my belief that Christie has been collecting data, facts, etc. on TSF since his departure from the Trump WH.

TSF might be kicking a hornet's nest b/c Christie is also petty and vengeful.

P.S. Ivanka's father-in-law, Charles Kushner, was sent to jail b/c of Christie, and thus, he too was on "The List".
