No time to investigate how the IRS came to selectively target enemies of the White House but Christie, he gets investigated twice in one week.
Via USA Today:
Federal auditors are investigating whether New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie improperly used $25 million in Sandy relief funds for a tourism ad starring the governor and his family, according to U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J.
The marketing campaign and ads were rolled out as Christie was gearing up for his 2013 re-election bid,
Pallone said Monday that the inspector general for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, after a preliminary review, has concluded that there is enough evidence to launch a full-scale investigation into how Christie, a Republican, chose to spend the marketing money approved by HUD, the Asbury Park Press reported.
The commercials were part of a campaign, dubbed “Stronger Than The Storm,” aimed at luring tourists back to the New Jersey shore, which had been ravaged by Superstorm Sandy.
Pallone, a 27-year House veteran and vocal Christie critic, said an Asbury Park Press probe into the bidding process led him last August to ask the IG to look into how the state selected a $4.7 million contract to produce the ads. The winning bid was about $2 million higher than the runner-up bid.
