In reply to the discussion: SENTENCED TO JAIL, CHRISTIE AIDE SAYS SHE WON'T BE SCAPEGOAT [View all]Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)11. Guess she didn't see the movie "The American President"
Apparently she never saw the movie The American President, where Michael J. Fox as Chief of Staff tells Michael Douglas, the President that he won't do anything illegal because "Say what you want. It's always the guy in my job that ends up doing 18 months in Danbury minimum security prison."
Funny how the line in the movie refers to doing 18 months in prison, and Christie's staffer got 18 months, too. If only she had seen the movie.
You never do something illegal for the boss, and you never have an affair with the boss. If something goes wrong, you're the one in trouble.

Just ludicrous... if the aides get jail time, Christie deserves jail time as orders came from him

Christie gained some respect in my book when he praised Obama and worked together with him
