CBS' John Dickerson Lets Christie Deflect Questions About Trump Pay-to-Play

[UCmeNdc]

When John Dickerson asked Chris Christie about the Trump Foundation's illegal campaign contribution to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, it was expected that Christie would bluster, and bluster he did.

"I can’t believe, John, that anyone would insult Pam Bondi that way," he huffed. "She’s an outstanding attorney general who has been reelected by the people of Florida. She’s somebody who has been an outstanding law enforcement officer and continues to be."

Well, if Chris Christie says so. But there's no mistake about the fact that she asked for, and received, a $25,000 donation from the Trump Foundation, and subsequently dropped her investigation into Trump University. One might have expected John Dickerson to press on that point. Instead, he allowed Christie to prattle on about the imagined misdeeds of Hillary Clinton.

It is a bribe. Why is there no investigation?

1. So many like to hold Dickerson up as a "real" journalist in an era of news-readers,

but the guy has always struck me as a "third-wayer," and I won't be surprised if he turns up on FOX one day.
