Washington (CNN)New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie criticized President Donald Trump's national security adviser Michael Flynn Sunday, saying he needs to clear up questions about whether he discussed sanctions in his pre-inauguration conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States.
"I don't think that you can have any more than one president at a time," Christie told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."
"And, you know, General Flynn has said up to this point that he had not said anything like that to the Russian ambassador. I think now he's saying that he doesn't remember whether he did or not," Christie said, pointing to a discrepancy in what Flynn told Vice President Mike Pence previously and what he said after reports of those conversations emerged last week.

Franken: Flynn was 'lying' or 'forgot'
Flynn cannot rule out that he spoke to a Russian official about sanctions, an aide close to the national security adviser said Friday.
Flynn, the aide said, has "no recollection of discussing sanctions," but added that the national security adviser "couldn't be certain that the topic never came up."

So, that's a conversation he is going to need to have with the President and the vice president to clear that up, so that the White House can make sure that they are completely accurate about what went on," Christie said.
Christie did not call for the White House to take any specific action to reduce Flynn's role.

Hi Folks, Chris Here !



When you are down in the polls the way I am ,you must have ways to keep from falling out ,as in down and out.Now, I may be down at 18 % but I am still par the course . And my friend Donald tells me just so long as I don't fall below 9 % ,I'm in the swing of things. Below that and I suppose that means, I'm out.

Now when you are swinging from the down's ,one must have a good grab at that which presents opportunity .There are two things I am really really very biggly good at grabbing-, Doughnuts and headlines folks ,doughnuts and headlines.That's par for the course.

How bout it, am I in the swing !
