**^** Yup! That’s the one that has garnered the attention of both the Manhattan D.A. AND The Securities Exchange Commission. Securities fraud is considered to be a serious white-collar crime, and he could wind up in both Federal and NY State Courts over allegedly defrauding holders of bonds issued by The Port Authority of NY & NJ. The White House? I seriously doubt if that is where he is going to wind up. ---

In case anyone is interested in the details of how and why NY prosecutors are reportedly going after the Governor of NJ, here is an explanation: > **[2nd Bridge Inquiry Said to Be Linked to Christie](https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/24/nyregion/2nd-bridge-inquiry-said-to-be-linked-to-christie.html?_r=0)** > > Investigations into the administration of Gov. Chris Christie and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey have zeroed in on possible securities law violations, people briefed on the matter say. ---

Never mind the side issues…(unless he is impeached and removed from office) He still has veto power on this automotive franchise legislation…There will be tremendous pressure for him to veto it from the car dealers lobby… ---

**“He’s one of the best politicians money can buy”** …and it is of record that he has already been bought by the NJ Car Dealers’ Association. Surely you wouldn’t expect an honorable man like him to renege on the promise that the car dealers paid for last year! ---

OK, I’ll try to be clearer. I was saying that I would trade the current White House occupant even steven for the Governor of NJ. What harm could it do? NJ is already screwed up no? ---

"I would trade the current White House occupant…" While you are at it, trade the worthless Tea Party led congress which has failed to pass a significant bill since they have been in. From infrastructure, to jobs bills to comprehensive immigration non action, these jamokes have given their party a more worthless rep. then any president. Wonder if any of that crowd gives a tinker’s darn about Teslar and EVs . ---

**^** As far as I know, it is just a metaphorical reference. I don’t actually know what the governor eats, but I do know that he eats too much. ---
