It turns out that Christie had prosecuted Charles Kushner, Jared's dad, as US atty. Charles was a very successful and wealthy real estate developer in NJ, but also quite the sleaze-ball. He got a prostitute to set up and blackmail an associate who he feared might testify against him. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/30/u...s-kushner.html
Charles Kushner wound up doing 14 months in federal prison, and Jared apparently never got over it. According to Christie, it was Steve Bannon who fired him, and would not initially admit where the order was coming from. Christie says he kind of dragged it out of Bannon that the order came from Jared.
That's interesting. Was the show Arrested Development based on the Kushners?
He's lying. There is a reason he got so little support.
'little support?' He won re-election by 60%, running as a Republican in a blue state (had voted 58-41 for Obama just the year before). In any case, 'little support' is not evidence that he lied. You have to do a little better than that to prove your accusation that he lied.

As president. New Jersey hasn't been all that particular about corruption.
There are emails on record from Christina Genovese Renna where she states "he flat out lied".
They knew that. People feign ignorance when presented with things they wish to ignore .
I can only guess PUI. How are "they" supposed to guess the meaning of a sentence: "As president?"
Christie was one of 17 GOP contenders in 2016. Sixteen of them had to lose. What about the other 15--did their lack of support also constitute evidence that they were liars too? That seems to be your 'logic.'
You did not answer the question: does one email accusation from one person constitute evidence for you? BTW, I have no dog in this fight. I never voted for nor supported Chris Christie. But it's just frustrating to deal with idiocy.

No it doesn't.

He also points out that a lot of reporting about 'bridgegate' was not accurate. For example, there were never any lane closures.
Yes there were so we can add him lying in his own book if this is indeed what it says.
Did his aides simply march off to prison for something that never happened?
But that was the implication of your previous post. If I understand your sphinx-speak correctly, you said that Christie's lack of support as presidential candidate was evidence that he lied about 'bridgegate."

According to Christie's book, there were never any lane closures. He says that 2 of 3 bridge lanes devoted to Fort Lee, NJ were diverted to general use, which resulted in huge back-ups in Fort Lee. Being 2500 miles away, I don't know what the truth is. Interesting that the Wikipedia piece on this contradicts itself on the question:
The problems began on Monday, September 9, 2013, when two of three toll lanes for a local street entrance were closed

On Monday, September 9, 2013, prior to the morning rush hour on the first day of the school year,[50] two of the three dedicated toll lanes at one of the Fort Lee entrances[3][4] to the upper level of the GW Bridge were closed to local use, and were reallocated to the main highway traffic
Do you have definitive evidence as to whether the lanes were closed or just reallocated?

I said that his lack of support was because people did not believe him about the Bridge issue. Christie didn't even get support from N.J.

Answer my question that you avoided and you will have your answer.
