At least he finally came out of the closet about it.

At this vey moment Chris Matthews and Howard Fineman are fear/war mongering about the beheading of the journalist., Mr. Foley. No one, in the mainstream media, ever mentions that Obama was put into office, of the Presidency, by among others, the military-industrial complex, General Dymanics Lester Crown family.

Yes. All this focus on one individual. While hundreds of children and over a thousands of civilians in Gaza are slaughtered by the US made arms used by Israel. Hundreds of US citizens participating in Israeli atrocities while they wonder about the accent of the beheader. One death is a tragedy while a thousand deaths is a statistic. Media talking heads and Obama work for the same gang in the end.

Words of wisdom from David Corn on "Hardball"-"I don't believe that Hillary (Clinton) is a neo-con." Is the Pope Catholic ? Matthews and his guests get sillier by the day. Matthew then said some Sh** about LBJ's manlineess and the Vietnam war. Last week Mr. Mattews when on a rant for war angainst Isis or whatever it calls itself. Is Chris matthews was a shill for the MIC ? A silly question by me.

Lately, MSNBC has been beating the war drums about ISIS almost as much as Fox has.

A sign of what I think is a new Washington Consensus regarding foreign policy -- war and more war.

Filing: Christie 'lied' about staff involvement in New Jersey's 'Bridgegate':
Joseph Ax Aug 10th 2016 2:38PM

Quote: NEW YORK, Aug 10 (Reuters) - A former aide to Chris Christie said in a text message that the New Jersey governor "flat out lied" when he said senior staff members were not involved in the "Bridgegate" scandal in 2013, according to a court filing on Wednesday. The details were revealed in a document filed in New Jersey federal court by Bill Baroni, former deputy executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, who is one of two former Christie allies facing trial next month on Bridgegate-related criminal charges.
Speculation has persisted for years about whether Christie or members of his staff were aware of an alleged plot to close two New York City-bound lanes at the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee as retribution against Mayor Mark Sokolich, a Democrat who had refused to back the Republican governor's re-election campaign. Christie addressed the controversy at a Dec. 13, 2013, news conference, a day after the state legislature issued several subpoenas in its investigation of the lane closures. "I've made it very clear to everybody on my senior staff that if anyone had any knowledge about this that they needed to come forward to me and tell me about it, and they've all assured me that they don't," Christie said at the time.
Christina Renna, former director of Christie's intergovernmental affairs office, immediately sent a text message to Peter Sheridan, a member of Christie's re-election campaign, according to the filing. "Are you listening? He just flat out lied about senior staff and Stepien not being involved," her first text said, referring to Bill Stepien, who managed Christie's two gubernatorial campaigns. In a subsequent text, Renna said "it could be bad" if emails were later uncovered through a subpoena or court discovery.
Christie would apologize weeks later at another news conference, when he said he was firing his deputy chief of staff, Bridget Kelly, and that he had been "lied to" when he told reporters no one on his staff was involved. He also cut ties with Stepien, saying at the news conference that he had lost confidence in Stepien's judgment. Stepien has not been charged in the case. "The governor's statements have been clear," a Christie spokesman, Brian Murray, said on Wednesday. "Nothing contained in this text message changes that in any way."
A lawyer for Renna, now vice president of the Chamber of Commerce Southern New Jersey, said she would not address the issue until she testifies at the upcoming criminal trial for Baroni and Kelly. Kevin Marino, a lawyer for Stepien, called the suggestion he might have been involved in Bridgegate "categorically false and irresponsible." Sheridan, who works for the state Republican party, did not respond to a request for comment. Jury selection will begin Sept. 12 for Baroni and Kelly, who face charges including conspiracy and fraud. Another former Port Authority official, David Wildstein, has pleaded guilty and is cooperating with federal prosecutors. (Reporting by Joseph Ax; Editing by Bill Trott and David Gregorio)
We didn't have a thread strictly about "Bridgegate" for me to reply to, but this one is close enough. It might have fit well into the "Trump portfolio" thread too...
