New Jersey Governor Christie appears to be in a lot of trouble. There was a story that proof is emerging that he lied about the scandal that appears to be overtaking his administration.
The "scandal" is ridiculous in my opinion. Lane closures on a bridge as a form of retaliation? Ridiculous even if true. The left does far worse and is doing far worse now. How does lane closures on a bridge compare with the IRS scandal and the NSA spying on American citizens? A little perspective could be useful here, but unfortunately the GOP seems to think that being pure as the wind driven snow is important in politics.
Nevertheless, if he is proved to be lying, that could to be fatal to his political ambitions to be President of the United States. For the GOP, it continues to show its weakness in confronting the left. It cannot even bring a lawless regime under control, yet lets a Mickey Mouse complaint like this get the better of them.
The left for its part will have eliminated the most dangerous rival to their ambitions to keep control over the White House for another 4 years. Another victory for the left and another defeat for the so-called "right".
My advice to Christie and GOP? Christie should not resign, but force them to remove him from office. The GOP should stick by him, unless the Dems should want to give up Obama and Hillary. Let the Dems run the spectacle of removing a Governor for a Mickey Mouse infraction while they claim they have the right to spy on Americans and harass the opposition party by abusing government powers.
Update:
Barnhardt thinks Christie skates. We'll see.
