Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has remained one of President Trump’s staunchest defenders throughout his tenure as commander-in-chief. We couldn’t find one instance of him rebuking the president’s strategy in public until now.
Christie’s criticism follows another media appearance by former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell. On Saturday, Powell said — without any evidence — that conservative Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) received a bribe to certify his state’s election results.
Christie called the president’s legal team “a national embarrassment” in response on national TV.
The Daily Caller’s Scott Morefield reports:
The former governor called the insinuation “outrageous conduct by any lawyer.”
“They won’t do it inside the courtroom,” Christie said, referring to some aspects of the Trump campaign’s election fraud contentions. “They allege fraud outside the courtroom, but when they go inside the courtroom, they don’t plead fraud and they don’t argue fraud.”
“The president has had an opportunity to access the courts,” Christie said. “If you have got the evidence of fraud, present it. And what happened here is quite frankly, the legal team has been a national embarrassment.”

Christie went on to say that while he has been a Trump supporter and voted for him twice, “elections have consequences, and we cannot continue to act as if something happened here that didn’t happen.”
A feud between Powell and Fox News’ Tucker Carlson emerged last week after the host challenged her to provide evidence to reinforce her as yet unsubstantiated claims that election software companies stole millions of votes from Trump.

Several prominent attorneys have come out to say that President Trump still has multiple legal pathways to victory, though all present challenges.
In the meantime, President Trump’s legal team distanced itself from Powell after she appeared alongside Trump campaign legal advisers Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis both in press conferences and court.

Trump tweeted on November 14 that Powell was a member of his legal team.
I look forward to Mayor Giuliani spearheading the legal effort to defend OUR RIGHT to FREE and FAIR ELECTIONS! Rudy Giuliani, Joseph diGenova, Victoria Toensing, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis, a truly great team, added to our other wonderful lawyers and representatives!

Christie, your name is mud you are through in Politics in the USA
Trump didn’t give him a job so now hes anti Trump, just like all the rest.
Deceitful 2 faced fat ass rino doesn’t deserve any job in U.S. Government or U.S. Citizenship !
I guess Christie thinks he could do better and wasn’t asked to help. He just a wimpy rino it appears. Turncoat. I guess Trump will see who is really behind him on this and who is his real friends.
Kemp is a dirty corrupt RINO and Sidney Powell will be lauded as one of the greatest Patriots and legal minds in the History of the United States of America!
STEALING AN ELECTION ISN’T WINNING AND THE THOUGHT OF LIARS AND THEFTS LIKE THE LIBERAL PARTY IN CHARGE OF THE COUNTRY I LOVE AND RAISE MY FAMILY IN MAKES ME ILL AND THE LIBERAL PARTY THOUGHT WE’ED JUST LET THEM BY WITH IT LIKE THEY DID IN OBAMA’S ELECTION OH YES WE KNEW HE CHEATED AND WE KNEW THOSE CROWDS ON THE DAY HE WAS SWORN INTO OFFICE WERE PAID GOON’S WHO DO RIOTS AND OTHER THINGS WHEN NEEDED AND THEIR PAID WELL ! THE IDIOTS THEY SHOWED CELEBRATING IN THE STREETS ON ELECTION NIGHT WERE PAID JUST THINK BACK FOR MONTHS THE LIBERAL MEDIA HAS SAID IF BIDEN LOSES THE STREETS WILL BE FULL OF PROTESTERS , IT ISN’T TO HARD TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY KNEW THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT ABOUT EVERYTHING FROM THE BEGINNING THE LIBERAL MEDIA IN THIS COUNTRY IS OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE NAZI LIBERAL PARTY AND I FOUND OUT ALL THOSE CROWDS AT OBAMA”s SWEARING IN WERE PAID TO BE THERE. THEY SHOWED BUSES OF PEOPLE BEING BROUGHT THERE AND THE PROTEST THEIR ALL BUSED IN TO RIOT AND KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE FOR THE LIBERAL PARTY ! THE POLITICIANS WHO ARE COMING OUT AND TELLING TRUMP TO GIVE UP THEIR CAREER IS OVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps the controversy with Sydney Powell is a legal tactic that’s going to force the truth to come out. Yes, Trump is being cheated. And these lawyers aren’t idiots. We only know what’s being said, not what’s going on behind the scenes.
Possible tactic to smoke out the dem leaders stench of treason ?
Christie and any other Republican politician who doesn’t back our President through thick and thin; doesn’t deserve to be in office or to open their mouth. If they don’t have the balls to stand up with Our President at all times; they have lost all credibility with me and need to go hide in the hole they so deservedly belong in.
Republicans still can not see that support for them is finished .Till now they had big support because of president Trump. Now we can see their true faces…
go away christie you are a loser .
Christie why don’t you shut up. You embarrass yourself every time you say something.
Does anyone remember the beach story with Christie? It was around the Bridge Gate time. Christie has always been a hypocrite and still is. These RINOS and Dems are such hypocrites.
Speaking of the beach story Christy looks like a beached whale. He has more chins than a Chinese phone book.
Ah ha ha ha ha…great point, beached whale. Ah ha ha ha ha ha !!!!
Deceitful treasonous liars is the dem’s bottom line of crime to be dictators !
Even if Trump can’t prove the election was stolen,though anybody with half a brain knows it was, he should fight them and make them as miserable as he can just for payback.
Like Pay checks as POTUS Trump never took & dem voting dumb asses still vote for biden that plans to be dictator over the U.S.A. ! ? The bo stench is 2 blks from the WH with biden as patsy !
Time for the fat man to go away, he is a has been loser.
Time for the whole damn commie laden dem ass stench of bo, hilary treason to go away !
I doubt that but a few, mainly Democrat criminals and their RINO co conspirators, are concerned what this political “fat bastard” has to say.
Chris is an embarrassing rino. He hasn’t really got a clean slate. Go to the beach with the other whales.
Christie…pathetic. We are slowly seeing all the opportunists that did not want Trump to get in their way. Many oliticians have been making big money at the expense of America and the men and women who work so hard to make it and make them richer. The veils keep falling. Fox news….well…they had them all along. They fooled us and played the dibisional hate games for the other side until…the night of the election. We know what they did. We also have faith it will all come out and the swamp is now in peril finally of being totally exposed. Patriots stand firm on wanting the truth .
A biden, china stench of commie dictator in a NWO is #1proof that deceitful dems are enemies !
I’m standing!!!!!
I am totally surprised that this bull is still opening his pipe? He is embarrassment itself. Look in a mirror moron
This is a prime example that fat rinos do to ignore truth & facts that dem’s criminal acts for past 12 years instigated by bo, hilary treason as wannabe dictators is a NWO of enslaved tyranny !
Chris Christ is a Rino lier & back stabbing POS.
Another RINO exposes himself. Christie is just another Swamp Creature.
Do you think this putz ever heard of the Democrats Russia / Trump collusion story?
There is a reason he was an unsuccessful candidate for the nomination.
Christie is a OBEASE PIECE OF INCREMENT. HE is the FOT boy that closed the bridge from New Jersey to New York Causing Lots of problems . he Is just mad because TRUMP did not give his worthless ass a Cushy job !!! and no one will listen !
You notice all the Worthless Republicans that are in office in DC . that are jumping ship . Why well they just want to kiss BIDENS ass to try and help them Selves
ANY sane person in America Blacks browns Asians Indians all Nationalities . Know this Election was just plain BULL crap . Biden slept in his basement . ! But trump had Thousands in the rain and cold and how weather and waits for days to just see and hear him . Biden cant go Away from Delaware . And he wins by Millions of votes . THATS JUST PLAIN ASS CORRUPTION and i pray that it all comes out and lots of them DEMORATS GO to really bad Prisons !
I don’t understand WHY on any subject when someone from the right says something, anything, that MAY be questionable or at least need explaining, they are instantly scorned in the Media, every damn media station and their employees go off, AND, so do some of Trumps supporters? The out of control LEFT MEDIA does this every damn day and has been for over 4 years, but…. you NEVER see any of the LEFT Democrats standing up and taking a stand AGAINST anyone from their own party!! Republicans should take lessons from them on at least that issue! We need to stick together 100% if not all the time at least this ONE time because OUR COUNTRY needs to be protected!
Sidney Powel was Legally on Air to the PUBLIC taken OFF Trumps team because, of what I heard was she couldn’t argue Fraud in the court against Donald Trump because of some stupid conflict of Interest crap! They are Very smart at what they are doing, She is a Bulldog when it comes to fighting for truth, and just because the same damn Left Lying Media makes up stories about her being fired because of spreading conspiracy theories or making up stories it’s just plain sad and whats worse we have our own damn Trump supporters jumping ship because of what the LYING LEFT MEDIA is saying1 Take a Breath….. didn’t Trump say Russia was a hoax, Ukraine was a hoax, he was spyed on, etc etc,? How many times do you know TRUMP WAS WRONG?
Have a little Faith! He doesn’t need this damn job, he’s doing it for YOU & I the American People and for the love of HIS/OUR country! For four years there was NO uniting us, all the hatred, violence, destruction, murders, etc never a word of Uniting all of us, until NOW, when they THINK they’ve regained power, and everything they’ve done for the past several years will just be blatantly thrown OUT the window! There is NO uniting us, in their minds it’s their way or NO way! So we ALL better stick to Supporting our President, The one who Truthfully WON re-election!
Correction above, Powell, and Spied! As some may be quick to call me out on it! and not just absorb the content!
Not my usual habit to call names. But christie is a big fat slob and a classic sore loser. the miserable big fat slob is posturing to beg for droppings from the old crook’s table of corruption should the ‘old crook and the hook’ get their way in this farce called election.
Everyone please STOP quoting “talking heads & discarded politicians ” unless you are promoting a “COMIC BOOK ” !!!
If Powell said that the Gov received a bride she is probably right on the money.
Why Powell would say something to discredict herself.
Christie is hoping Biden and fiends will offer him a job so he has to attack President Trump’s team to make it look good. He would fit in and he’d be able to offer 0bama more hugs. He lost his way somehow and is showing his never Trump attitude and if he put a D after his name it would make him at least a tiny bit honest.
the only embarrassment is your fat ass your the reason we have an assh=le democrat in nj
I don’t think Christie really knows what evidence the lawyers have….they have to present their evidence to the courts not the public…they have outlined their case to the public and it sounds strong enough to me…We will see soon enough….I. Know Trump won this election… there is no doubt in my mind at all…
this stupid porkchop should go and join forces with ryan an d romney and go walk in the woods with hillary.
