Christie: Trump Saddled Himself With “Greedy Riffraff”

Another excerpt from Chris Christie’s tell-all:

Donald so urgently needed the right people around him and a solid structure in place. Far too often, he’s found himself saddled with the riffraff. Instead of high-quality, vetted appointees for key administration posts, he got the Russian lackey and future federal felon Michael Flynn as national security adviser. He got the greedy and inexperienced Scott Pruitt as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

He got the high-flying Tom Price as health and human services secretary. He got the not-ready-for-prime-time Jeff Sessions as attorney general, promptly recusing himself from the Justice Department’s Russian-collusion probe. He got a stranger named Rex Tillerson as secretary of state. He got the Apprentice show loser Omarosa Manigault in whatever Omarosa’s job purported to be. (I never could figure that one out.) Too few Kellyanne Conways. A boatload of Sebastian Gorkas. Too few Steven Mnuchins.
