Precisely.A sowing kit?
Would could he possibly have hidden away in his cache?
Chris Christie’s pained facial expressions standing behind Donald Trump during the presumptive nominee’s Super Tuesday victory speech made the New Jersey governor a national laughing stock. On Thursday Christie got reimbursed up to $400,000 for his dignity.
In a campaign fundraiser at a National Guard armory in a bucolic Trenton suburb, Trump gave a speech to a crowd of hundreds, many of whom had paid up to $200 to attend. Trump stuck to familiar themes about immigration and trade, adding a new wrinkle by saying: “Who the hell cares if there’s a trade war [with China]?”
The event, accompanied by a high-dollar fundraiser for the New Jersey Republican party, represented a Trump rally in miniature. The same blaring soundtrack, the same ardent shouts of “build the wall,” but all for the first time to a paying crowd, in an attempt to clear outstanding campaign debt from Christie’s unsuccessful presidential bid. The presumptive nominee boasted as he took the stage: “Chris paid off his entire debt tonight. The whole debt!”
Polling this week had Christie with a 64% disapproval rating and 72% of NJ voters don't want him to be Trump's VP.
Ah, the old RJ Karl. Who could ask for more.

Wildstein told the jury that Baroni, his former boss at the Port Authority, told Christie at the event, in a sarcastic tone: "Governor, there is a tremendous amount of traffic in Fort Lee, please know Mayor Sokolich is frustrated he can't get his calls returned."
Wildstein, who has already pleaded guilty in the case, said Christie laughed and responded: "I imagine they wouldn't be getting their calls returned."
Baroni told Christie that Wildstein would monitor the traffic, Wildstein testified.
Perhaps unbelievably—or, actually, completely believably—Christie allegedly remained incensed when the Port Authority finally succeeded in opening the traffic lanes back up. By Friday, September 13, Patrick Foye, Executive Director of the Port Authority (an appointee of Governor Andrew Cuomo), had succeeded in reversing the lane closures when he was “beseeched” by Christie aide Baroni, to “reclose the lanes.”
Foye reminded Baroni that because of the delays caused by the lane closures “someone could have died,” but Baroni pressed on, urging Foye to close the lanes once again.
“He said the issue was important to Trenton,” Mr. Foye testified. “I took that to be the governor’s office.”
When Foye refused, Baroni menaced, “Trenton will call Albany.”
If there was any doubt that Baroni was acting on behalf of governor Christie, on Monday, Bridget Kelly testified she heard governor Christie say on a conference call that he had told Governor Cuomo “to tell Pat Foye to fuck off.”
Kelly said she was discussing the program for a press conference related to a fire in the Jersey Shore town of Seaside Heights when Christie exploded at her three years ago.
“He had a water bottle in his hand and he said, ‘What the f--k do you think I am? A f-----g game show host,” Kelly said, her voice cracking.
The governor then hurled the bottle at her, Kelly testified.
“I moved out of the way and it hit my arm,” the sobbing mother of four added.
“You're afraid of the governor?” defense lawyer Michael Critchley asked her.
“Yes, yes,” she replied.
