In his spare time, Christie heads up the
Republican Governor's Association, going on speaking tours and bragging of setting new fundraising records for them. Among them is a recent donation of ten thousand dollars:
Quote:
Law Firm hired for Bridge(t)-Gate probe is GOP donor
The public...got its first look at who has donated to the Republican Governors Association in the months since Christie took over as chairman...
Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher...has not donated to the Democratic Governors Association this year and did not make contributions to the group in 2013 or 2012. It made two donations to the RGA in 2012, each for $10,000. The group donated $15,000 in 2011 and $10,000 in 2010 and 2009.
...(N)ine days before a team of its top lawyers made public a report clearing Christie in the bridge scandal...Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher...gave $10,000...(C)ritics called (the report) a “whitewash..."

Perhaps those critics should also be calling it a "
kickback!"
