Yesterday Front Page Magazine posted an article about a Justice Department investigation into Chris Christie, current governor of New Jersey.  According to Front Page Magazine:

“This month, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report purporting to show that Christie, who has built up a reputation as a spending-slashing fiscal conservative by taking on New Jersey’s bloated public sector, routinely overcharged the government for hotel stays while in his former job as a U.S. Attorney. Christie exceeded the government’s set rate for travel expenses on 14 of 15 trips, according to the report; on nine of those trips, his “lodging costs exceeded the government rate by more than $100 per night.” These costs, which went over the government rate by between $19 and $242 a night, ultimately totaled $2,176.”

These are not new charges–they were brought up and dealt with during Christie’s campaign for governor.  According to the article:

“…Christie parried the charges by pointing out, reasonably enough, that with just a few rooms offered at the government rate at every hotel, staying within the set government rate was not always possibility. Nevertheless, he explained that he tried to stay at a cheaper hotel whenever that was an option. Whatever view one takes of that particular controversy – and New Jersey’s voters registered their opinion clearly when they voted Christie into office – there is nothing revelatory in the Justice Department’s audit.”

The Justice Department has become political and unjust under President Obama.  They have refused to investigate the New Black Panthers voting intimidation scandal, they have sued a state for attempting to control immigration, and they are going after those who they believe are political enemies.  It really is time for the new Republican House of Representatives to begin their investigations.
