New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Sunday said he has heard nothing to indicate that President Donald Trump is a target of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
“I think the good news, from the President’s perspective, is he’s not under investigation,” Christie said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“How do you know that the President’s not under investigation?” Jake Tapper pressed.
“Well, the last news that we’ve received, Jake, publicly, is that the President was told he’s not under investigation. We’ve heard nothing to the contrary,” Christie said. “So I’m making that statement off of the public information that we’ve already been given.”
Christie made the same claim on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” and, pressed to support his claim, said that “no one has told” Trump that he is under investigation.
CNN reported Friday night that Mueller filed the first official charges in his investigation, approved by a federal grand jury.

WE MUST PLAY ALL LIES
Off the tee to rough,
country found the golfing tough
in the maze of Trump.
Mueller hitting thoughtful strokes
pierced the haze that twitter stoked.
Lame-O! Secondhand scuttlebutt from a months-old tangential investigation, in a situation where Comey was trying to reassure Trump? That’s where they’re pinning their hopes?
You haven’t heard anything because the Special Counsel does not hire attorneys who sit at a table on a public sidewalk and chat about their case. They are ethically-trained professionals who keep their heads down and their mouths closed.
Also, the charges have been sealed, Bozo.
Yep, that’s correct, because the targets of investigations are always informed about it at the start. It’s simple investigator etiquette.
In other news, a new study shows madams of whorehouses are always virgins, because how do you know they’re not?
So declares the paragon of honesty and architect of Bridgegate who possess the artful skill of shoving others under the the barrelling freight train.
Sure Chris, we believe you. wink, wink.
