 All the documents, in larger, readable form, are after the jump Here are 14 reciepts and memos generated for Chris Christie's travel and lodging in his last job, as US Attorney for New Jersey. According to the Inspector General of the US Dept of Justice, Christie engaged in a "pattern of abuse" in luxury travel spending on himself billed to taxpayers while he held that job (read the Report). Living it up on the government dime, as emptywheel put it so well. These 14 docs came to us via a Blue Jersey reader; they were obtained under a public records request.
You've read some of this already. You know that this is standard operating procedure for Christie - hypocrisy, doing as he pleases (even when you're paying), and traveling all over the country preaching austerity to GOP faithful (but don't look too close).
Use your scrollbar to review all 14 documents; receipts from several luxury hotels, and memos from Christie explaining repeatedly that he was unable to secure government rate for his lodging. |
