Christie: Warning about Flynn among reasons I was fired from Trump transitionNew Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Wednesday he was ousted as head of President Donald Trumps transition due in part to his opposition to the hiring of Michael Flynn as national security adviser.
I thought it was a significant reason, Christie said at an unrelated press conference at his office in Trenton.
The governor, one of the first establishment Republicans to back Trump during the primary and still one of the president's most loyal supporters, was chairman of the transition until he was unceremoniously fired just days after the election and replaced with Vice President Mike Pence.
Christie said it was clear those who took over botched the transition, pointing to Flynns guilty plea last week to charges of lying to the FBI. Christie has long said he had concerns about the retired three-star Army general, though he had never said exactly why.
Suffice to say, I had serious misgivings, which I think have been confirmed by the fact that he pled guilty to a felony in federal court, Christie said.

He should have switched to backing another horse the minute Kushner joined that family.

already knew. I think they knew ALL about Flynn and Christie was throwing a wrench in their collusion with Russia plans. I don't believe this "we didn't know" garbage.
