Chris Christie: Trump’s Pardon of Arpaio Is a Much Different Circumstance

EXCERPT:

ABRAMS: "They’re looking at Sheriff Arpaio."
CHRISTIE: "Well, that’s a different circumstance."
ABRAMS: "It is. But I think that’s what led people to say, wait a sec, this is a president who is ready, willing, and able to use his pardon power."
CHRISTIE: "But much different circumstance. The charges surrounding Sheriff Arpaio had absolutely nothing to do with the president or people around the president."
STEPHANPOULOS: "Because you agree, the president pardoning somebody here would be pretty explosive."
CHRISTIE: "Listen, it’s a big step. And I think the other important thing for people watching this morning to remember is that the last public word we had on any of this was that the president himself was not under investigation."
