The state of the state

I think I understand this correctly: It’s big news that the governor of New Jersey had people on his staff who arranged for two lanes of traffic to close in an act of political retribution against the mayor of Fort Lee, who declined to endorse Christie’s re-election.

But it’s old news and beating a dead horse to suggest that the president of the United States has an agency (the Stasi Internal Revenue Service) that targets people and organizations for harrassment in an act of political retribution against anyone who dares to challenge the president’s ambitions.
