The plot thickens considerably......

The former Port Authority official who personally oversaw the lane closings on the George Washington Bridge in the scandal now swirling around Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey said on Friday that the governor knew about the lane closings when they were happening, and that he had the evidence to prove it.

In a letter released by his lawyer, the official, David Wildstein, a high school friend of Mr. Christie’s who was appointed with the governor’s blessing at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which controls the bridge, described the order to close the lanes as “the Christie administration’s order” and said “evidence exists as well 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 in a two-hour press conference” three weeks ago.

If indeed he has proof Christie is now toast. A rising star falls to Earth with a thud.

"The closures last September caused four days of severe traffic jams for commuters and residents of Fort Lee, New Jersey, whose mayor declined to endorse Christie's re-election campaign, and prompted official investigations into the role of the governor's office."

In my mind, jury's STILL out until anything of significant substance surfaces, IF it does, so I'm not inclined to rush to judgement about him just yet.

Funny though, how many of those who'd be all over Obama's sh*t about now, if this kind of news broke about him, have been to date, curiously silent.

so still no real proof.

Supposedly Christie knew there were closures but had been led to believe it was related to a traffic study. Highly unlikely there will be anything where he says "good work on the lane closures Dave, now that slimeball mayor in Ft.Lee will know not to mess with me."
Christie seems a little too smart to have any tangible proof that he orchestrated the whole thing or even knew what had happened until the news came out a few weeks ago.

Then there is Wildstein. He needs to find a way to cover his ass for doing the closures as an official with the P.A. By shifting blame he thinks he can come out clean but the thing here is, Wildstein committed the actual act of getting things into a mess. Even if he wants to say the Governor told him to do it, he could have and should have declined and sent the information out right at the start.

By the way, the Port Authority is a 2 state organization. Why hasn't anyone started questioning New York Governor Andrew "I wannabePresident too" Cuomo?
Oh that's right, Cuomo is a saintly:rolleyes: Democrat.

YES, i admit it. it is with some glee and delight i watch this obnoxious fat ass bully melt down to all his obvious insecurities and flaws.
he clearly deserves it. Barbara Buono was clearly the better choice for governor. and now the people of New Jersey are coming to realize this.
talk about buyers' regret !!!!
YOU GO, HILLARY !!!!!!

I wonder how all these Democrats in New Jersey feel about this guy now that they helped put him in office to begin with? What do you like about this guy?

I'm no Christie supporter and would never vote for him if he ran for prez. But what's up with this "we have evidence" crap? :shrug: If you've got it…….let's see it. Makes me think they don't have anything and are just trying to ruin his weekend in the Super Bowl spotlight.
