The thing that gets missed about the deferred prosecution arrangements that Chris Christie used to shovel tens of millions to his friends, former bosses, future campaign contributors and cronies is the most basic thing that punctures Christie's self portrait of what makes him a supposed viable candidate for Governor as opposed to just another Bush crony.
