Who happens to be "working with Steve Kornacki" on this. Thank Goodness we have all these intrepid reporters digging for the bottom of all these corruption allegations aimed at the Christie Admin; because Christie had too many NJ reporters eating out of his hand so to speak.

More from the link..

"And here we get to the heart of the matter. David Wildstein was put in the Port Authority by Chris Christie, in a job Christie invented, to be the governor’s eyes and ears – his enforcer. Wildstein was put at the Port so Christie could more effectively use the Port as an extension of his political operation (as Steve and I are documenting, more and more, with each passing week).

So spare us the shock that Wildstein is “a political animal.” Christie knew who Wildstein was before he appointed him to this job. There is no sense in distancing yourself from one of your own appointees who was given a job specifically because his skills matched what you were looking to accomplish with that appointment."


Thanks, sheshe.. just when we thought Christie had reached the bottom of the drecks of political corruption in New Jersey.. it comes out that he's not only stiffing Mayor Dawn Zimmer out of Hoboken Sandy Money because she wouldn't forge ahead with the Rockefeller project but building slush funds to further enhance his 2016 prospects.

He dumped all over New Jersey and treated it like a cesspool to advance himself to the White House. And, he's president of the Republicon Gov Ass. Unbloody real how emblematic that is of today's republicon governors.

New Jersey she
