`WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump threatened to open an investigation targeting Chris Christie over the former New Jersey governor's decade-old "Bridgegate" scandal after Christie criticized Trump on television earlier in the day.
The threat came just days after the FBI searched the home and office of another Trump critic, former National Security Adviser John Bolton, as part of an open criminal investigation. Trump lashed out at the former friend-turned-foe Christie in an evening Aug. 24 post on Truth Social, remarking that he just watched "Sloppy Chris Christie" on ABC's This Week.
"Can anyone believe anything that Sloppy Chris says?" Trump wrote. "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."
Trump added: "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!"

Christie was behind Bridge Gate for sure, maybe Krasnov can get Bondi to appoint Merrick Garland to be a special prosecutor to investigate?

In my day, we'd call someone like him a hypocrite. Today we call him president.
