David Wildstein, the Former Port Authority Director of Interstate Capital Projects and an ally of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, said Friday that the Governor knew about the closure of access lanes on the George Washington Bridge from Fort Lee, N.J., as they were happening in September.
Wildstein's lawyer, Alan Zegas, released a letter to The New York Times, in which he 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."
too many people involved you don't commit crimes with a cast of thousands eventually someone will flip in the end most people are more protective of their own butts than their bosses.
Bridget Anne Kelly, Christie's former deputy chief of staff, sent an Aug. 13 email to Wildstein that read: "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee."
"Got it," he replied.
Wildstein also mocked the concerns about school buses getting stuck in the gridlock that ensued from the lane closures.
"They are the children of Buono voters," he texted to Kelly, a reference to Barbara Buono, Christie's Democratic opponent in last year's gubernatorial election.
levity in reference to a criminal act usually indicates lack of remorse and more of a celebritary gesture,and nervous fear of "aw crap what have i gotten into"?
most important it shows a indifference to voters just because they didn't vote your way that suggest a willingness to omit them from the process of governing because they aren't going to support you.  unfortunately public officials don't get to pick and choose who they will favor theoretically anyway, and not in NJ.  nothing left but to wait for the sneakers to fall off the phone lines.
