Christie testifying on Corzine budget day?

U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie might testify before a House Judiciary panel next Tuesday – good news for Democrats who are anxious to see the potential 2009 Republican candidate for Governor get grilled for giving John Ashcroft a federal monitor contract worth up to $52 million. But the bad news for Democrats is that the hearing is being held the same day as Governor Jon Corzine’s budget address to the Legislature. Corzine is expected to propose some major budget cuts, and it’s likely that he’ll dominate the news that day.

democrats?


Uh.. Wouldn't everyone like to see and hear CC testify? Since our US Attorney is a crime buster and not political, this would be simple testimony. Maybe 5 minutes...I picked ashcroft because:? I chose to give deferred prosecution agreements in these cases because:? I treat all criminals and crime the same because:? Note to WE...the press does not have to cover it.
