Not helping: Chris Christie suggests Comey misunderstood ‘normal New York City conversation’
It’s strange that despite theflurry of sexual harassment allegations against Donald Trump that surfaced during the campaign, it was the “Access Hollywood” tape with Billy Bush that really resonated with the anti-Trump crowd and still echoes in the protest signs, T-shirts, and hats worn by the resistance.

The excuse that Trump and Bush were just engaging in some “locker room talk” didn’t fly, so we’re not so sure Gov. Chris Christie was helping any when he told MSNBC’s NicolleWallace Wednesday afternoon that his exchanges with former FBI Director James Comey were just how people in New York talk to each other.

Trump ran his businesses like the mafia and it extends into govt. NATO becomes protection racket. Employees take loyalty oaths. GOP omerta.

Unfortunately it's not merely a metaphor or a mindset. Trump has had mafia hookups for decades and now they appear to have permeated the WH.

He's right. This is exactly how real estate developers behave in NY. This was all entirely predictable.
