Anvilbrother 0 #1 February 1, 2014 http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/christie-knew-gwb-lane-closures-report-article-1.1598234 Quote Gov. Chris Christie was aware in September of the George Washington Bridge lane closings that spawned massive gridlock, a former Port Authority official claimed Friday. A letter on behalf of David Wildstein — the Christie appointee at the heart of the scandal — charged the governor knew what was happening as his sweaty constituents sat in their cars. “Evidence exists ... tying Mr. Christie to having knowledge of the lane closures, during the period when the lanes were closed, contrary to what the governor stated publicly,” read the letter from Wildstein’s attorney, Alan Zegas. Lets hope this is true, this guy has always given me a very bad vibe. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

tkhayes 124 #2 February 1, 2014 I will wait for the investigation myself. Lots of people think he did, but real evidence will come out from the subpoenas etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #3 February 1, 2014 this doesn't really change much - he can still say he only knew they were happening at the time, not why, or because of his orders. People who want to support him will continue to cling to that, and people who don't already believe he knew all along, but haven't found the smoking gun yet.

Even if he didn't know WHY but he still new the bridge was being closed it means for the entire 2 hour press conference he was lying to every person in America. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

His numbers are plummeting and it's only going to get worse for him. I'm hoping he hangs on long enough just to watch him get devoured during the GOP primaries. Although watching him have to resign in disgrace would also be equally amusing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Up next: USPA Safety and Training Committee chairman investigates the recent skydiver vs. spectator incident in New Jersey; exonerates jumper. Must be a NJ thing. Must be. Hell even the California state senator (whose gun control efforts I've shown much contempt for in the past several months) who just got popped for facilitating the trafficking of automatic weapons and shoulder-fired missiles into the US (among other crimes, the whole affidavit is a great read, but skip to pages 96-102 for the best part.) stated that visiting New Jersey made him feel like he was back in the 1950s. That's how you know New Jersey is corrupt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you ever driven in New York/New Jersey traffic? It's bad enough without someone deliberately making it worse. What would be the cost (in salary) for everyone who had to sit all that extra time?
