In a sane political environment, the Trump campaign would now have no choice but to replace Chris Christie from his role on the team.
Senate Chairman Of Transportation Committee Calls For Investigation Into George Washington Bridge Lane Closures
Traffic moves over the Hudson River and across the George Washington Bridge between New York City (R), and in Fort Lee, New Jersey on Dec. 17, 2013. 
In his cringe-worthy speech at the Republican National Convention, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) created a Kangaroo Court of sorts, repeatedly asking his rabid audience, "Guilty or not guilty?" Nearly four months later, with two of the governor's top aides on trial, we now have an answer to that question.

A jury has found two of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's former allies guilty on all counts for their roles in the George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal, capping a case that roiled state politics and captured national attention.Christie's ex-deputy chief of staff, Bridget Anne Kelly, and his former top Port Authority official, Bill Baroni, had faced nine counts of conspiracy and fraud stemming from the scheme to block access to the George Washington Bridge as a means to punish Democratic Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich for not endorsing Christie's re-election bid.
