I'm sure you're correct in that during the campaign, the small insider group that was colluding with Russians kept it all secret from Christie and most of the others.

Christie really, really wanted to be Attorney General, remember that? The irony is that had he gotten that job he wouldn't have had any reason to recuse himself from the Russia investigation. He had no knowledge of it (presumably) but Sessions certainly did know about it. Trump never offered Christie the AG job, and it saved his butt from this shit-show.

If Mueller nails Trump for collusion (Conspiracy) Trump will potentially go down as Jarqui Jan 2019 #2
