Chris Christie's appearence on the cable news shows recently

may be more than to just promote his book..I think he is out there contemplating a primary challenge to Trump or to be the first on out of the starting gate should Trump be forced to resign.

So it might be that.
I wonder whether he ratted out Trump or his mob to prosecutors and he went on the shows to throw Trump off the scent.

with the Trump Transition Teams abuses of fund raising and usage of those funds. He is just doing a PR trip knowing full well he will have to have a sit down with Team Mueller or the SBNY investigators.

This Book thing is just a way of raising funds for his Lawyers .

Either assuming trump goes down, or at least trump decides not to run for reelection.

Chris wants to position himself.

Which is funny because during his second gov. term, he pretty much abandoned ship - first to run for president, then to toady/run/promote trump. And his poll numbers at home fell and fell and fell. I think he became even less popular in New Jersey, than Brownback became in Kansas.

Chris - keep talking - all the slime out on team trump the better. But beyond that, get over yourself. The rest of America already has.
