He needs to hold out so Christie can't appoint a Repub to finish out his term. I'd rather have a crook than a Repug.

Perhaps I am just picking nits here, but what part of one's training as an ophthalmologist qualifies one to do port security for a foreign nation? Do smugglers have trouble reading below the fourth line of the eye chart?

Spotting security threats requires sharp vision?

If I were doing some investigating, I'd be wondering why a mysteriously wealthy guy, who regularly flies his private plane from Florida to the Caribbean, would also want to be in charge of "port security." "Just put these bags in the back of the truck, Julio ... no need for a customs inspection.""Sure thing, boss. How many bags you got this week?"

Melgen failed to follow the Koch secret recipe, where you launder the cash through two or three front organizations before handing it to your pet legislator's superPAC.

This is a true statement, for very pragmatic reasons.

Please resign to spend more time with your Dominican family and spare us the agony of Tucker Carlson. Also, take Chris Christie with you on one of those jet rides, though you may have to jettison some of the baggage to make the weight limit
