Steve Kornacki's theory on the Christie scandal

[TheBlackAdder]

29. Possible. The 2016 Fervor (and his staff's hunger for cabinet positions was a large influence).

The motivations, as I see it...



It could be:

1) Financial Gain by someone over the plot of land in Fort Lee.

2) It should have been retaliation for the judicial nominations.

3) It could be retaliation for the mayor not supporting Christie.

4) It could be a combination of the above.

Based on past behavior... I feel that it is the fervent thirst for Presidential Power that drove them to do it. And by THEM, I believe that Christie was in on it. These guys give me the impression that they wanted to ensure minimal intra-state resistance from now until November 2016.

This appears to be a signal that if you fuck with Christie's 2016 campaign, his stewardship of the state, or interfere with his relations... you'll get the hammer!

I believe that those involved did it out of loyalty, but mostly to achieve a 2016 victory and them all getting high-positions in the government or on the President's Staff.

I believe that they wanted to shut up any dissension in the state so they can concentrate on a 2016 run.

I believe that they wanted to silence anyone who would cast a negative light on his candidacy.

I believe this was all done for power and profit as a presidential contender.


I believe that, if this one act also hurt the Senate Speaker or affected the Redevelopment Plan in the town (also possibly seen as hurting the mayor), then that would be a VALUE ADDED BONUS.
