Chris Christie explained why Mark Meadows could singlehandedly get Donald Trump convicted of inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection.
The former White House chief of staff has been granted immunity by special counsel Jack Smith in the District of Columbia case, and Christie told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Meadows would be a compelling witness who could ultimately land Trump in prison and wipe him from the 2024 ballot.
"I want everybody to be prepared for a very long race," Christie said. "This is a race that's going to go all the way to the convention. I'm going to be in this all the way to the convention because here is what is going to happen. In March Donald Trump, the day before 'Super Tuesday,' is going on trial, and the first witness against him, sitting 20 feet away from him in a courtroom, is not going to be some rogue Democrat, it is not going to be some product of the two-tier justice system. It is going to be Mark Meadows, one of the founders of the Freedom Caucus, from North Carolina and one of his chiefs of staff. In fact, the chief of staff he said was like James Baker."
"He's going to be saying in front of a jury that Donald Trump was lying beginning on Election Night, that he knew he was lying, and that he broke laws right in front of him," Christie added. "Donald Trump is going to be convicted, and what that New York Times poll from earlier this week shows you is that when he is convicted of a crime his support collapses, especially in all of the swing states that he was doing well in, but after a conviction he will lose every one of those states to Joe Biden. Republican voters are going to get smart about that. They're going to see it and they're not going to make him our nominee, but we're going to have to fight it all the way to the convention."
