Christie Defends Record Fighting Terror

‘If you look at those criticisms, there are two things they have in common — one, they’re working for others candidates, and two they have never done a lick of work for the Department of Justice’

WALLACE: "But critics say that you have, quite frankly, greatly exaggerated your record on this. First, your claim that you personally went before — we just heard you say personally went before the FISA court to get national security wiretaps. The truth is you never did that."

And two they have never done a lick of work for the Department of Justice. All of those people who have ever done any professional work for the Department of Justice didn’t have those complaints and they knew exactly what I meant."
