All counts.

And of course there was substantial evidence at trial that Christie knew about it as it was going on.

And unlike these Guiliani-planted stories from fake FBI people, the reports on this one have sources.

Chris Christie Slams Obama DOJ After Supreme Court Overturns Bridgegate Convictions

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slammed President Barack Obama’s Department of Justice (DOJ) on Thursday, after the U.S. Supreme Court tossed out the convictions of two aides involved in “Bridgegate.”

The scandal also dented Christie’s presidential prospects, which had looked bright after his re-election.

In a statement, Christie ripped the prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman, and the Obama DOJ:
​
What cannot be undone is the damage that was visited upon all the people dragged through the mud who had nothing to do with the prosecutorial conduct and personal vindictiveness of Paul Fishman. Despite being repeatedly told by numerous respected members of the bar during the investigation that he was inventing a federal crime, Paul Fishman proceeded, motivated by political partisanship and blind ambition that cost the taxpayers millions in legal fees and changed the course of history. Worst of all, Fishman allowed Bill Baroni to go to jail for crimes he [Fishman] invented.

The leadership of the Obama Justice Department is also culpable for permitting this misconduct to happen right under their noses …

This was a case driven by a U.S. Attorney and Justice Department in search of a predetermined and biased outcome. In recklessly pursuing that outcome, they violated the oath sworn by every member of the Department of Justice.​
The U.S. Attorney General at the time was Eric Holder. Holder endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden for president on Wednesday.

The defeat at the Supreme Court is only the latest blow to the Obama DOJ, which is now widely seen as having abused its power in pursuing false claims of “Russia collusion” against President Donald Trump and his aides.

If I were a Republican, I'd be really careful about complaining that:

Well, at the moment Trump is in office and his lackey Barr is out there planting these seeds of right wing conpsiracy talking points about investigating this or that, Clinton was the latest again today, I saw. Or Obama, or the FBI. Whatever works to distract.

Like distracting from the thread you are in? Or do you think the unanimous Supreme Court was in on it too? To help Trump out. Maybe Trump is with holding gallbladder treatment from RBG unless she voted this way?

Instead you are too afraid to admit that Trump is no different than anyone else who came before him.

The SCOTUS ruling was 9-0, come on.

The SCOTUS ruling was that it was not a violation of the statute. Okay.

The spin that, therefore, the prosecution itself was unfounded or in bad faith or motivated by politics, does not follow.

And my point is that Republicans should be careful about the standard they set for politics motivating phony investigations and threats of criminal charges. See e.g. Barr's various instructions to minions to go off and investigate things that are clearly intended simply to make the Trump slurpers excited.

The prosecution was unfounded and in bad faith if it wasn't a violation of the statute. Either that or the Obama DOJ was inept, which is it?
