The actual message that they're putting out her isn't for the media or the public, it's for the other potential turncoats. They're signaling that they're willing to dig up dirt that covers the entire career of the staffers involved and then some. Wildstein coming out and saying that Christie was behind it all is bad enough, someone else deciding to rat him out would sink his presidential hopes and possibly lead to impeachment. Hell, it could even lead to him doing jail time, although I find that idea pretty unlikely.

I mean, sure you could see that angle but it's so loving petty that it reads more like "We are a sinking ship and now is the time the run the gently caress away"

There's a difference between being a predatory capitalist that has absolute contempt for the poor and being a petty fat bully that has no sense of proportion.

One of these is the platonic ideal of the Republican party and the other is a guy that's trying to imitate Tony Soprano in real life.
