Bridgegate: Chris Christie investigates himself and concludes he did nothing wrong

 This reeks of the Department of Injustice, the State Department, and the IRS conducting internal investigations and finding themselves innocent of the charges. Much like those scandals, Chris Christie hired a law firm to investigate Bridgegate and that law firm concluded that Chris Christie was not involved. Color me skeptical of the finding.

  The law firm is defending its finding despite the fact that, according to the article I linked to above, several key figures in the scandal did not cooperate with the investigation. The law firm is also claiming that it was not hired by Chris Christie personally but rather by the Office of the Governor but I fail to see a discernible difference between the two.

  And of course we know that the threat of retribution would never be held over their heads if they did not come to the proper conclusion. Oh wait…..that is exactly what Bridgegate is all about in the first place.

  As long as politicians, and Federal agencies, are allowed to investigate themselves, or in Chris Christie’s case hire the firm which investigates them, we will never learn the truth and the usurpation of power will go on, for all intents and purposes, unchecked.

  But of course that is what the desire is, and has been, all along. It is up to the American people, and the constituents of these politicians, to hold these people accountable because they cannot be trusted to hold the moral high ground they are entrusted with in the first place.

  While Bridgegate is not as serious a scandal as is Fast and Furious, Benghazi, or the IRS targeting scandal it is still an example, if it is true and I believe it is, of a politician abusing his or her power and it cannot be understated that it is beyond acceptable. I want them all to be held accountable for their actions and their deeds and I do not think that is too much to ask of our elected officials and the people they hire to conduct the business of the people.
