Christie’s New Appointee Won’t Back Samson

David Samson is left turning slowly in the wind by Chris Christie because his corruption is utterly toxic. It took 3 years for it to come to public attention, but Samson ripped off the taxpayers of both New York and New Jersey for $44 million to benefit a client who was paying him $1.5 million. He cannot survive as Chairman of the Port Authority. More on this later, but this is a huge development in the “Bridgegate” story which began in September 2013.
