US Attorney Christie Lies, Media Yawns

Blue Jersey has been so impressed by the response that can be generated by the blogosphere holding media accountable that they asked me to pass on this action alert:

christopher_j_christie.jpg Blue Jersey:

Last week we caught Chris Christie in a pretty blatant contradiction in stories he's told to reporters, so blatant that we feel comfortable calling it a lie. No one we've contacted -- reporters, editors, columnists, bloggers, my dog and hamster -- have been able to explain the completely different stories he told, and different reporters have verified that they repeated Christie's stories correctly.

Yet for some reason not one blog (besides BJ) or newspaper has reported this. So we're asking you, the great Blue Jersey activist crowd, to write to the newspapers that reported the different stories and note the contradiction.

The Star Ledger, Washington Post and New York Times all reported that Christie learned that he had been on the list to be fired but had been removed in March during a single phone call. Tom Moran in the Star Ledger included details that Christie was by a pool with his family on vacation in Florida when he was e-mailed to call in, and went inside the room to make the call. His reaction in March was "completely stunned" (NYT - 5/18), "completely shocked" (WaPo - 5/17), and "speechless" (SL - 5/18).

But in a recent Daily Record editorial board, and we have confirmed this with someone who was in the room, Chris Christie told a completely different story.

No, you are not hallucinating....apparently it was "taken down".

As natural and predictable at this point as peanut butter and jelly on bread.......(sigh)...JD

Thanks Nicole...Like the Market today, I can see why you might have taken that
particular C&L site "down" and hope that it, again like the Market, will be "up" soon.

It will never make it to the MSM unless its catastrophic or involves a skank in rehab.
Its all too confusing to the average american who is too busy watching the "the biggest loser"....which is what this guy's next gig should be, he and his size 52 Dockers. Oh StirFry be nice. F*ck you voice in my head!

Also add Asbury Park Press to your list--central jersey's own republican apologist paper.All they do is bash Corzine and keep endorsing republicans!

Who runs the DOJ?

Liars, Karl Rove and Coverup Artists.

Make no mistake. They are in full coverup mode.

They have been in full coverup mode since 2001,
July 2001... CHENEY Energy Task force, Enron..

And speaking of NEW JERSEY...
Democratic Representative Rush Holt (NJ-12) has been stonewalled in his efforts to get answers from the DOJ and the FBI about the status of investigations into the 2001 anthrax attacks on the federal government. The anthrax letters originated from his district.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/4/26/17724/7643

It doesnt take a rocket scientist to "connect the dots".

The Anthrax letters came from inside the United States.
The letters contained a specific type of weaponized Anthrax made by a United States military lab

Right after 911 the Bush Administration tried to ram the USA PATRIOT Act through Congress.

And who got the letters...
Senators Tom Daschle (D-South Dakota) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont)
The two people who were in a position to hold up the disingenuously named "Patriot Act".

Find out who is blocking the Anthrax Investigation
and you find out the truth to save our Country..

Certainly if our Founding Fathers were here today..
The Patriots would have had them and all the traitors in jail or hanged BY NOW.

Get this story in the MAIN STREAM when Congress comes back in session
And STOP letting criminals and their treasonous media set ALL the talking points.

We are not the United States of Criminals and Coverup
We are the United States of America.

Chris Christie's another Nick Griffin type that will do anything to get brownie points with Rove

This is pretty disgusting. Rethugs will do anything to get re-elected. Even scare the hell out of old people.

Sounds like a Viagra commercial.

What's even more interesting is that Christie has been using his US Attorney position to position himself to run for Governor in 2009 on a platform of corruption-busting. It's clear to me he was trying to save his job by leaking word of an investigation of Senator Bob Menendez in September 2006 to try and bring down the Democratic Senator. It just proves the hypocrisy of Chris Christie-- ethical crusader, except when he's trying to save his own skin.

A US Atty engaged in questionable conduct. The President's position is clear.

Despite this information, what's going to change by discussing more information confirming what we know: DoJ pesonnel are not reliable. Congress isn't doing anything about it.

This isn't news. More of the same. Real news is when Congress starts acting. It's still moving the goal posts. Playing nice. US Attys aren't nice. They're liars. They work for DOJ. And they enforce illegal bills that violate the Constitution. Prosecute them.

If he's an attorney, someone in Jersey might want to look into Jersey's attorney ethics rules. Maybe he should be reported for ethics investigation to the state bar.

Maybe Christie has Ly--me disease like Bush does?
