The amount of the settlement will barely cover the cost of 10 years of litigation and now a new investigation will be initiated to investigate this fiasco. One thing is sure Christie being office is good for trial lawyers and investigators.

Jersey was pretty much guaranteed the 8.9 billion, yet these thieves settled for 250 million. I cant think of a rational reason why they would agree to such a small settlement. I wonder who is footing the govs Presidential run?

Christie has NEVER done a thing to benefit New Jersey unless he got something out of it too. How much do you think EM will kick into the campaign??
