Giuliani throws Christie a bone on Bridgegate

I expect nothing less from Giuliani.  But, he did qualify cutting Chris Christie some slack by emphasizing that it he’s lying his political career is finished.  

Politicoreports former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Sunday defended New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in the bridge scandal that has consumed his administration, saying his political career would be over if there was any evidence the governor knew about the scheme.

Giuliani, a Republican, said Christie would not have issued such airtight denials that he had any knowledge of the controversy until last week if it were not the truth. He said the Republican governor was in “campaign mode” at the time and was likely to miss such issues while running for reelection, and also while running a complex state government such as that of New Jersey.

“He’s held a press conference; he’s flatly denied it,” Giuliani said on ABC’s “This Week.” “If for some reason it’s not true, the man has put his political career completely at risk. If it turns out there’s some evidence that he knew about it, he’s taken a complete risk and his political career is over.”
