Feds Probe Christie For Use of Sandy Funds In Ads That Promoted Both NJ and Christie, Running During Campaign
— Ace

Wait, Christie's in trouble in BridgeGate for using the machinery of government to punish his political enemies, right? Right, that's what I thought.

Obama does this every single day.

In the new probe, federal auditors will examine New Jersey's use of $25 million in Sandy relief funds for a marketing campaign to promote tourism at the Jersey Shore after Sandy decimated the state's coastline in late 2012, New Jersey Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone told CNN.
In an August letter, Pallone asked the Department of Housing and Urban Development inspector general to look into how Christie chose to spend the marketing money approved by the department.
The inspector general's office has replied to CNN's request for comment on the investigation.

So a bitter political rival asks Obama to dig dirt on a potential GOP presidential nominee and Obama's gangster government says "How high, sir?"

Obama is investigating whether money was improperly spent for Sandy relief in Christie's campaign. Not, say, his own.

Apparently Christie proposed the ads to the feds... and the feds approved them. (Warning: Autoplay ad.)

Â“The Stronger Than The Storm campaign was just one part of the first action plan approved by the Obama Administration and developed with the goal of effectively communicating that the Jersey Shore was open for business during the first summer after Sandy,Â” Christie spokesman Colin Reed said Monday.
...
The action plan that ChristieÂ’s office said was approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development included language calling for a media campaign to draw tourists back to the beaches.

It is a common practice for politicians to use taxpayer money to cut ads which simultaneously advertise the state or program they want to boost and advertise themselves as much. As much as we get annoyed by them doing this, it has long been done.

And it's hard to argue too hard against it: Why wouldn't, say, Rudy Guiliani show up for a NYC tourism ad in the year 1999? He was a fairly popular and famous figure. Who's to say he's not a good spokesman for the ad?

But now apparently we're going to pretend this might be a criminal matter. This investigation will of course not result in any charges. It exists simply so that the Democrats can say "Christie was investigated for misusing taxpayer funds."

2 Well this is a good thing..all the bien pensants were sooo convinced that it was going to be Christie vs Hillary in 2016, go figure. I answered a 20-minute phone survey with l that just assumed from the gitgo.

So they're doing a service for, uh, whoever we got coming up.

I cannot believe how out of control this whole thing has become, and I say that as a person who does not hold Christie in high esteem.

5 so state reps cannot cut ads but feds can at our expense?

while addressing this should we also include the Free campaigning of Media for the dem party ?

Posted by: willow at January 14, 2014 07:10 AM (nqBYe)

I maintain this repeatedly, I am a conservative and Christie is nowhere near my guy, but we need to be there for him and defend him against these charges all fucking day, unless something major has occurred that is indefensible.

Otherwise, he needs to know that conservatives will be there when the road gets hard. 11th Commandment folks.

39 The deal here is, that there was a cheaper bid but the ad company didn't want Christie or his family in it.

So, he went with the higher bid from the company that had him in it.

Is that something that goes on every single day all over America?
Yes.

Does it look bad?
Yes.

Would he get away with it if he were a Democrat?
Yes.

40 That Fat Bastard RINO attacked people in his own party like Rand Paul over the non-Sandy related PORK in that POS bill. Played right into the MFM who he thought he was developing into his base and harmed his own party in doing so. As far as I'm concerned, he made his bed and can lie in it.

42 I cannot believe how out of control this whole thing has become, and I say that as a person who does not hold Christie in high esteem. --- Agreed. I don't like the fat sack of shit much, but this is beyond the pale considering that the guy at 1600 Pennsylvania did, and does, far worse than this on a daily basis. Him submitting them to the Feds for approval and GETTING IT should have been enough to kill an investigation of this angle dead in a sane country, but they're probably using IRS rules on this. By that, I mean that the IRS will give you tax advice but then punish you for following their advice if it turns out to be wrong.

Yeah, Christie, go with that--the JEF is well known to admit responsibility and share blame.

Dumbass.

That was the "favor" you called in for the "ball-cupping on the beach?" "hey buddy, approve this ad using federal dollars that includes me in it, would ya?"
Maybe you should have asked for some magic beans while you were at it.

Dumbass.

Here's the real world: JEF let's it be known that he had nothing to do with the approval, that it was a routine request/approval handled by an unknown bureaucrat deep in the backwaters of Cincinnati.

89 As a conservative I see absolutely nothing positive in defending this fat RINO pig.The GOP establishment is circling the wagons to defend their chosen one for 2016 and we are daily inundated with their weeping and gnashing of teeth that the attacks on Christie are nothing but personal in nature.Additionally,we are treated to the incessant jabbering of the elitist pseudo-conservative punditry and FOX News(the Pravda of the GOP establishment) that Christie is the frontrunner and the only one who can beat Hillary in 2016.Where were the RINOs when every conservative challenger to Romney were slandered and libeled in 2008? And since when does any RINO beat any Democrat in a Presidential election.We should be either aggressively assisting to destroy this RINO,or at least smugly sitting back to enjoy the show!

In part, yes. But as has been noted here many times, the process *is* the punishment.

According to a spokesperson for the marketing firm responsible for the commercial, MWW, its Â“proposal included no mention or suggestion of using the governor in the paid advertising campaign. The decision to include the governor was arrived at after the contract was awarded, based on timing, availability, and federal expenditure rules.Â” Politico reviewed the proposal and concurs: Â“Christie was not included in a list of New Jersey Â‘iconsÂ’ featured in the 205-page ad proposal from MWW.Â”

Â“IconsÂ” from New Jersey who did make the cut: Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Frankie Valli, Queen Latifah, Joe Budden, Redman, James Gandolfini, Anne Hathaway, Joe Pesci, Philip Roth, Toni Morrison, Eli Manning, and Shaquille OÂ’Neal.

MWW was stuck with Christie only because Â“Springsteen and Bon Jovi were on tour and the deadline was tight, among other reasons,Â” according to Politico.

170 Tuesday, at his first cabinet meeting of the year, the President said he will work with lawmakers to pass legislation but he indicated he is prepared to use executive actions more frequently to advance administration goals. "We are not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we are providing Americans the kind of help that they need. IÂ’ve got a pen and IÂ’ve got a phone," Obama told his Cabinet Over the coming weeks, Obama will be looking for ways to bypass Capitol Hill to further the administration's "action" agenda, which White House officials say will be aimed at reducing income inequality and sending a jolt into the nation's sometimes sluggish recovery. The pen, he said, can be used to sign executive orders, while the phone means calls to non-profit, universities, and private sector organizations that will rally towards a Â“unifying themeÂ” of economic mobility and fairness.

I don't think it's a criminal matter, but because the bid was almost twice as much, then Christie might consider reimbursing the state from his campaign war chest.

Moreover, this might be an opportunity to bring all Obama's crap to the fore, especially if Christie made good. (You know Romney would.) As you say, Obama is a much greater and constant offender. Let's remove the speck in Christie's eye to bring into better focus the beam in Obama's.

No, it's not hard to argue against it. It's propaganda. If you stop and think for a second, it really is the very definition of propaganda. Not necessarily the HitlerJungen, Have You Spied On Your Neighbor kind of propaganda but it is government directed media. And tax money spent by any government to honor itself is corruption.

It can't even be excuse on a practical level because there will never ever be any kind of accountability or measure of it's success. Nothing will be adjusted, no agency reorganized, nothing corrected or learned.

Maybe they did yesterday and the A-Rod squirrel squashed them. Probably not. I think TP Congressional candidates should make continuing support for Boehner as Speaker a primary campaign issue. I am not sure what to do about RINOs but it does make me feel good to see their Donk buddies skewer them. RINOs can support who they want, but I'm pretty sick and tired of them gratuitously beating up conservatives or persons not part of the Club. And then ask for support. Witch O'Donnell is a case in point. Whatever merit there was to her candidacy, RINO Rove went out of his way to trash her. When goaded by the MFM, he could've given that "I'm bullshitting you grin" and said "I support the Republican candidate." But he didn't. Not saying he had to sing praise to her meager qualifications, but being the master of communications he could have at least been diplomatic. He wasn't.

258 I seem to recall a LOT of ads for California tourism using Arnold Swarzenegger. While he was in office.

There wasn't any. But the Big Bad Rove must be blamed for everything now.

I'm old enough to remember when it was the Democrats who were driven to paranoia just by the mention of his name.
