In another controversy surrounding New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer said Sunday that Christie directly ordered the withholding of Superstorm Sandy recovery funds unless she backed a redevelopment plan he favored.
Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union," Zimmer said she was told by a member of Christie's administration that Sandy relief funds hinged on her support for a real estate development project and that the directive was coming directly from Christie.
"She said that to me -- is that this is a direct message from the Governor," Zimmer said, referring to Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, who Zimmer said approached her in a parking lot in May to deliver the message.
It's "stunning" and "outrageous," but true, the Hoboken mayor told CNN's Candy Crowley. "I stand by my word."
Later in the day, she released a statement saying that she had met with the U.S. Attorney's Office for several hours at its request and provided the office with her journal and other documents.
"As they pursue this investigation, I will provide any requested information and testify under oath about the facts of what happened when the Lieutenant Governor came to Hoboken and told me that Sandy aid would be contingent on moving forward with a private development project," she said.

Candy Crowley, like Chris Christie, could benefit from my 400 situp per day regimen.

That aside, what Christie did -- or did not do -- is fair game for investigation.

But CNN seems quite interested in dragging down Christie, but oddly uninterested in the lies told about Benghazi.

We now know that Panetta told Obama the same day that the Benghazi damage was due to a terrorist attack, but Obama lied repeatedly about it for weeks after that.

If Watergate was a scandal, Benghazi and misuse of the IRS are 100 times bigger in terms of political corruption, but the media yawns.

Low level government officials were responsible for Bengazhi and IRS.

Christie's henchwoman was directly responsible for rejecting funding to Hoboken NJ. I find it hard to believe that the mayor of Hoboken would risk obstruction of justice charges....

Low level government officials were responsible for Bengazhi and IRS.

Allowing Americans to be killed and political enemies' lively hood destroyed compared to traffic slowed on a bridge? Both Obama and Christie were involved but Obama should be in prison while Christie needs to be removed from office.

Nobody knows who was responsible for the IRS scandal and Benghazi.

Tracing the IRS, it goes to one of the few political appointees at the IRS. But no proper investigation has ever been done, and Obama's campaign donor is heading up the fake inquiry.

As to Benghazi, what was Hillary's precise timeline that night? And Obama's? Nobody knows because no real inquiry has been made.

These are, potentially, far, far more important than Watergate ever was, so they should be explored.

And I would say precisely the same thing were a Republican in the White House.
