Chris Christie\u2019s office were convicted of fraud and abuse of office for engineering a traffic jam as a form of political payback. <\/p>\n<p>The court\u2019s decision to hear the case follows two decisions over the past 10 years that have tamped down laws traditionally used to bring corruption cases against public officials.  <\/p>\n<p>Bridgegate could be a third notch in what legal experts described to TPM as a trend in the Supreme Court\u2019s thinking on the topic, moving to limit the scope of statutes traditionally used to hold public officials accountable for corruption. This has stoked concern that the court may be poised to define public corruption so narrowly as to extinguish future prosecutions.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">Actually, that makes perfect sense.
