About Those Aspirations, Cowboy....

So if you're Jeb Bush, and you hear about Mitt Romney talking to a bunch of donors, and Chris Christie talking to these guys, who do you fear more today?

Christie met with federal prosecutors and FBI agents last month during a secret session at theNew Jersey governor’s mansion in Princeton. He agreed to sit down with investigators voluntarily after they offered him a chance to provide his side of the story. Interviewing Christie was one of the final steps in the investigation, which appears to be wrapping up, according to those briefed on it.

If Governor Christie avoids indictment in the "Bridgegate" scandal, he won't do so by much. Others are almost certainly going down, as it is clear that U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman is tightening his grip over Christie-land, and taking his predecessor down a road he didn't want to go down.

Even if he survives legally, he's not surviving politically. All Cowboy jokes aside, where's he going to get his funding? Bush and Romney are going to cut him off on Wall Street, and Bush and Perry will cut him off in Texas, even if Jerry Jones does love him. He's going to lack money, and a political pathway forward, before the corruption in his administration bites him. He'd be best to skip 2016.
