Too Early to Determine Christie’s Involvement

February 6th, 2014

In America, unlike many countries, one is innocent until proved guilty.? Let?s wait until there is proof of what really happened before any judgments are pronounced concerning what Governor Christie?s role was in bridge-lane closing.? As former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani suggested, if the evidence shows he did not tell the truth during his nearly two-hour long news conference, than he?s in real trouble.? But if he did tell the truth, then that should be the end of it.??

Regardless of what the investigation shows, he evidently has taken steps to dismiss those who were directly responsible for what happened, and he deserves credit for that.? And since the incident has come to light, I would think that he has taken every possible action to be sure things like this do not happen in the future.? It may be fair to suggest that he ?should have? known what was going on in his administration, even if he did not.? But ?should have? and actually knowing are two entirely different matters.???

But before any judgments are passed, let?s see what a fair and unbiased investigation shows.? I am not so sure that being investigated by a Democratic-held legislature will produce a fair and unbiased hearing.? This is where there truly should be an ?independent? prosecutor or ?independent? board conducting the investigating.???

Whether Republican or Democrat, I would hope that everyone would want Governor Christie to be treated fairly.? So, in my opinion, he is innocent until proved otherwise.? ??
