NEWARK — Gov. Chris Christie said Wednesday that his removal as chairman of Donald Trump's presidential transition has proven to be a "big mistake" and that the country has paid for it.
Christie also said he thinks his opposition during the transition to naming retired Army Gen. Michael Flynn the national security adviser was a "significant reason" for his ouster last year, three days after Trump won the presidency in an upset over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
During the same news conference where he was asked about Flynn, Christie extended a dispute with his Democratic successor, Phil Murphy, about the authenticity of a document provided by his transition team concerning non-disclosure agreement.

I like your signature line, lastlib. As a teenager, I dabbled with electronics designing and building small audio components. I even used to know the color-coding for resistors! Thanks for the memories.

She stole his heart simply by suggesting they steal some donuts.

It seems the way to New Jersey governor Chris Christie's affections really is through his stomach as he revealed to Oprah Winfrey that one of the reasons he fell for his wife Mary Pat was when she suggested they make an illicit late-night donut run.

Asked by Winfrey what drew him to Mary Pat, whom he met at the University of Delaware in the 1980s when they were both involved in student government, he said it was her independence, her faith, and because she was fun.
'She was fun in a different way than I'd ever experienced with anybody I'd ever dated. She was very spontaneous,' Christie told Winfrey


'Spontaneous like?' Winfrey asked.

'Let's go break into the kitchen in the dining hall at college because we smell that they are baking donuts for the next morning,' he recalled Mary Pat saying. 'So let's sneak in and steal some of the donuts now.'


True romance: He revealed he fell in love with his wife at university when she suggested they break into the canteen and steal some donuts

He's grounded in reality -- something that can't be said of most of Trump's advisors.

I guess he's trying to say none of this would have happened if he had been chief of staff.
