Just wondering why there is no coverage of the NY Times article, but the Christie campaign and its surrogates are given free reign to spout off whatever they want with no contrary opinions.

If it isnt true why wont CC cronies there release the FOIA records?

Why the extension on the filing of their 2008 tax return with the IRS? Oh, so they won't release the information until after the election?

Maybe if the Corzine Slime Crew was alittle more selective about what they asked for---and didn't FOIA EVERYTHING they would probably have what they wanted now.

On top of Corzine pissing away our money as Governor, think of what he's cost the taxpayers on this 6 month fishing expedition....DISGRACEFUL...

while the christinistas may not like it, there is nothing illegal about Corzine giving money to urban ministers.

Not reporting items on your campaign's financial records is illegal and the potential manipulation of the USA's office is clearly a potentially indictable incident.

To paraphrase, people who live in stone houses shouldn't throw glass.

Any citizen at anytime can make the request, and documents are easily photocopied, at most it would take 3 days. 2nd, have you missed that Corzine slahed the state bugdet for the last 3 years?

Just ask Solomon Drek and 42 others.

It is not as easy as that. As someone who has been involved (from the gov side) in a FOIA request, there are many factors involved in it. You just don't photocopy them and hand them over. There are several legal issues which must be dispensed with prior to the handing over of the material including client-attorney privilege and whether the information will harm current investigations. It is not simple black and white.

We're talking about CC's schedules, his appointments, his whereabouts etc...we're not talking about the nitty gritty of cases. Any correspondance between the Attorny's General's office and whitehouse with CC can be reviewed and redacted if necessary-3 days might be hyberbolic, but it sure as hell doesnt take months.

What i don't understand is why the New York Times felt it was important to mention that Ms. Brown advocated for the arrest date to be moved up. The FBI had already decided that they had the evidence to make an arrest and the meeting was merely to decide when an arrest is made. What difference then does it make if she lobbies for an earlier arrest date?

"Bribing" someone for an endorsement is not illegal. Bribing a public official for favorable treatment is illegal.

If Corzine attended a fundraiser for black ministers where the same amount of money was raised it would make no difference.

I'd like to know the special interest groups who donated to the Republican Governors Association which has been advertising heavily for Christie.

"Bribing" someone for an endorsement is not illegal.

And Rod Blagojevich begs to differ.

The information they requested was more detailed than that. It certainly rises to Attorney-Client issues. The information must be vetted by the lawyers. Obviously you have never been involved in one of these cases.

No matter which way you spin this, Christie is hiding something. Give me a break.

Learn how a FOIA works before spouting off as if you knew something. You don't. It is not spin. It is called knowledge. Obviously you don't have any on the subject.

There is clear overwhelming bias toward Corzine and even more notably Daggett.

Christie campaign and its surrogates are given free reign to spout off whatever they want with no contrary opinions.

I don't know how many anti-Christie comments I have posted which have not been accepted. This site is becoming a GOP mouth piece and nothing more.

As far as this story I can't believe they would even publish it. Anyone with half a brain can clearly see that Christie used his power for political strategizing. It was well published in many papers before he even resigned.

Even the big story on the Day he resigned was when he was going to announce his candidacy for Governor, and officials close to him are even quoted as saying before he stepped down that he was going to do so in two-steps to avoid any questions that he used his power for political strategizing.

If you're afraid that a vote for Daggett is a Vote for Corzine, don't be because the polls show Daggett is hurting Corzine and putting Christie ahead.

See this Daggett Hurts Corzine and Helps Christie

You can be sure that you don't waste your vote by making the I'll vote for Dagget pledge.

The Daggett pledge is based on a simple premise, if enough people pledge their vote then you will vote for Daggett

Do you REALLY believe they just made all the shit up? Because that's what you'd have to believe if Duhaime's allegations about the NYT story are true.

Someone is blatantly lying here; the New York Times or Christopher Christie.

Take yer pick! :-)

There needs to be a special prosecutor appointed after the election whoever wins.

Christie should welcome a chance to be exhonerated, eh?

Nick is whining again....

You cant spin CC's boys dragging their feet

Obviously, by your comments - you do not.

Yes I do no you dont yes i do no you dont. I suppose next your going to tell me that CC wouldnt care is sunshine was in his past dealings. No matter which way you spin this CC and his buddies are keeping something under wraps-maybe its his abuse of monitor contracts, maybe its his travel reimbursment to a mets game maybe its his political meetings and calls with Jenn Beck and Karl Rove...

Ok not only don't you know how the process works, you are now babbling and not making any sense. You are obviously a wannabe insider who thinks he is important but in reality, means little in the grand scheme of things. Have a good day junior.

In fact I pride myself for not being one. I am not a public figure or even a quasi-public figure. Your assesment is staggering in its arrogance-
Yours Truly
Junior

Obviously, you have a difficult time comprehending the written word. While you may think I am arrogant, it beats ignorant like yourself. I claimed you are a wanna-be. Never claimed you were an insider. If you were, we'd be in charge. Your comprehension of the written word is staggering in its ignorance...

Youre right, I'm a total wannabe. You are so much better than me, I cant imagine how awesome it must be to stand mearly in the shadows of your presence. I am bested, my ignorance is obvious, this is your world and I mearly ask that you allow me to live in it. I still can never understand why posters on this cite (and I imagine others) get some type of online rage.

Not rage junior. Just telling it like it is. Glad you finally realized you are a tool. Won't bill you for the session...

I really appreciate it

my pleasure
