Told Ya'll Christie KNEW!

[clevergirl]

Right because when you are governor and you are told a major closure is causing problems it wold be unusual for you to be be notified...LIKE DUH!

Of cousre being notified about the closure, and being in on the scheme are two different things to intelligent minded people---- but we are dealing with partisan hacks who dismissed the Benghazi scandal with "what difference does it make".

 

[RandallFlagg]

Yeah…who knows? Maybe next week we'll start looking into the IRS, Benghazi, the NSA and OBarrycare! Now that we've solved the Nancy Drew mystery of the "New Jersey Lane Closure Case"!!!


You liberals are worthless pieces of human excrement.

Yeah...cause those dead conspiracy theories aren't dead already....ooh yeah, they are actually dead already...for a couple of months now.

NSA might have a little firepower, but that's it.

Yeah, they're dead (BS)...Why is that, I wonder? Could it be because of the criminal AG we have? You know, that Steadman looking piece of gutter trash who won't permit anything to go forward? You mean those criminals that refuse to investigate?

You're full of crap and you know it. But go ahead and play "gotcha" with a bridge and lane closures. And you probably call yourself "American".

Christie Knew About Lane Closings, Ex-Port Authority Official Says
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/01/nyregion/christie-bridge.html?_r=0

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.

“Mr. Wildstein contests the accuracy of various statements that the governor made about him and he can prove the inaccuracy of some,” the letter added.

The letter marked the first signal that Mr. Christie may have been aware of the closings, something he repeatedly denied during thenews conference.

In early January, documents revealed that a deputy chief of staff to Mr. Christie, Bridget Anne Kelly, had sent an email to Mr. Wildstein saying, “Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee,” the town at the New Jersey end of the bridge, where Mr. Christie’s aides had pursued but failed to receive an endorsement from the mayor.

Mr. Christie has steadfastly denied that he knew before this month that anyone in his administration was responsible for the lane closings, and his administration has tried to portray it as the actions of a rogue staff member.

The governor fired Ms. Kelly. Mr. Wildstein, the director of interstate capital projects at the Port Authority, resigned.""""

Maybe Christy's biggest problem is that he isn't in the correct Party? Maybe if he was Governor of Illinois, instead, it would be all hugs and kisses. I can't decide....

IRS scandals, Benghazi, Privacy concerns, Human Rights issues, Identity Theft, all pale when compared to something as horrible as lane closures on the GW Bridge, I get it. Who would have thought anything as diabolical as this could happen in The Garden State. My God, Save us from ourselves. What's next? Christy having the potholes fixed in his neighborhood first? OMG, the possibilities are endles..... Oh my! Oh my! Hey, is that a drone flying outside my window!!!

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Let it be a lesson to republican politicians. Christie is hardly a "Tea Party" republican. As a matter of fact you couldn't tell his social policies from the democrat platform and he posed in front of the cameras loving it up with Barry Hussein and the lady mayor of Hoboken but they all turned on him simply because he has a "R" after his name.

He Vetoed gay marriage (later passed) and an increase in the minimum wage (later passed). He's anti-abortion, he's a HUGE corporatist, and he's in favor of tax breaks for the wealthy (Christie Revives Tax Cut That Would Give 40 Percent Of Its Benefit To The Top 1 Percent | ThinkProgress)

How the HELLLLLLL is he democrat at all??? He held hands with Obama during a photo OP and now he's suddenly Liberal-in-the-closet? You know that sounds nuts right?

Funny how the rats are jumping his sinking ship. It wasn't that long ago that he was their dream come true but now, all of a sudden they're saying things like

Christie represented none of my views.

Just like I said, they'll go through the Clown Car Candidates just like they did last time.

And then, Hillary will be out POTUS.

Meanwhile, Christie is throwing a lot of bodies under his fat-ass bus. He's ruining a lot of careers and they're not going to go down quietly. My bet is that Wildstein won't be the last.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Look for a sale on popcorn cuz its gonna be another fun ride on the Clown Car.

But, Christie is basically an enormous ego with little short legs sticking out of one end. he won't resign. He will believe he can ride it out and it wouldn't surprise me if he can.

I'm remembering the Vitter/Coburn/Santorum money/sex scandal. Not one of them lost anything and Santorum actually ran for prez.

I expect that Rove is going nuts. If Christie is out of the 2016 race, then that opens the door for some of the far right loons. The Circus Begins!

Michele Bachmann / Louis Gohmert 2016!!!

Bite your tongue.

There are people here who would be thrilled to vote for those two cretins.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Personally, I am thrilled that the Dems are focused on Christie and this silly bridge scandal. He's not nearly conservative enough on economic issues and he's lousy on libertarian issues. He's a big fat democrat with an "R" after his name.

You don't know much about his record then.

Well .... no, not really. There may have been a few on the right who supported him but for the most part I didn't read any posts where conservatives were behind him. No one is jumping ship, that's just the latest leftist meme.

Indeed. He would never get my vote anyway. We don't need another "Barry" in the White House. Let these clowns go after him.

My greatest fear is who is going to be answering the phone in the White House at 3AM…surely to God it CAN'T be that fat-assed dyke Hillary - she'll roll over and go back to sleep while Bill is boinking some 19 year old in the West Wing.

I hate to say this, really I do, but I think come 2016 you are going to be extremely disappointed because whether we like it or not, America is overrun by progressives and the chances of putting someone who truly loves American values of old; such as God, family, freedom and self-reliance, in the Oval Office are less than slim to none. Our next President will be someone who takes us even closer to Socialism than Obama.

You may as well get used to it. Things are not likely to change anytime soon.

 

[Duped]

You liberals are something else: they push a video as the cause for Benghazi for 15, days after Hillary knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was a pre planned well orchestrated terrorist attack, and you dismiss it, but you convict Christie at the appearance of inpropriety without hesitation. You have no credibility; lie, and deny - like a dope addict

I don't support his fat ass.

Bridge scandal: Chris Christie knew about lane closures, Wildstein's lawyer says | NJ.com

Yeah already seen this claims he has evidence did not provide it so all I see here is a claim of something but no proof when I see something that directly connects Christie to this then I will declare him toast so far I have not.

There is a difference between what someone alleges and what their lawyer says. In this instance the lawyer has taken a look at the evidence and believes that it is good enough for his client to obtain immunity from prosecution.

Then there is the mounting pile of other evidence.

So you are left with Christie as the dumbest dupe to ever be the governor of NJ (and not even his worst critics accuse him of being stupid, far from it) as his only "explanation" as to why all of this rampant corruption was running wild under his nose and he knew nothing whatsoever about it.

That is becoming less credible by the day but run with it if you prefer. Either way his 2016 chances are history and his best hope now is 2020.

Lets look at what the lawyer 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" last month, the attorney, Alan Zegas, said.

Christie had knowledge of the lane closures during the period they were closed well I'm sure he did right along with millions of other people who live in that region but the allegations against him are that he either ordered the lane closures as political pay back or that those in his administration did so with his approval which Christie has denied. The fact of the matter is there is nothing here that supports the claims that Christie ordered this as pay back or looked the other way while people in his administration did it.

accusations is not proof.

This is the most stupidest "scandal" ever dreamt up by liberals. A traffic lane is closed for routine maintenance. Who the freak cares?

Oh, I understand and, believe it or not, I agree with your assessment. And I agree for a variety of reasons - not the least being that indeed, America is overrun by "America haters" - you know, those spoiled assed brats, raised by Mothers named "Moonglow" and Fathers who are as limp-wristed as their fag counterparts.

The republicans are as much to blame for the state of this country as these Marxists are. For example - John McCain. I applaud his service but that's as far as it goes. He is patently worthless - choosing to "negotiate" rather than kick the ass of democrats. You simply MUST get as down and dirty as these worthless fidel loving gutter trash democrat Congressmen and Senators. The time for "decorum" is long past. WE ARE LOSING OUR COUNTRY.

Had the republicans in the House and Senate been doing this from day one (after all, democrats will turn and run like the cowards they are when a fight breaks out) this would not be happening. They chose the "high road" against the likes of that idiot Pelosi and Harry "Howdy Doody" Reid and they have been taken apart. You CAN NOT give these pussies an inch.

My prediction - If that bull dyke Hillary wins the election (and right now, at this moment in time, I think she will) this country is lost. We will be nothing more than a quasi-dictatorship run by the politicians in Washington and that will lead to the ultimate outcome in several years - armed revolution.

Americans are watching - and they are growing increasingly angry.

 

[oreo]

Baloney. Pure baloney.

The question is not whether he knew about the closings, but whether he either ordered them or was aware that they had been ordered by someone on his staff as a vindictive measure against the mayor of that town.

So what if he knew about the lane closings? Means absolutely nothing.

More Democrat attempts to kill his '16 candidacy.

Pretty lame.

Regardless this is going to haunt Criss Christie. It's WMD in the back pockets of democrats should Christie win the nomination.

Furthermore--what "aid" sticks his/her neck out like that without authorization from a higher up to do that? If it wasn't Christie--then who?

 

[edthecynic]

So now would be a good time for someone to provide evidence Christie said he did not know the lanes were closed.

Well, I already showed you where he said in the Jan 9, 2014 press conference you linked to, with no reply on your part. So here is an earlier news conference:

Excerpts of Christie comments on traffic scandal - Washington Times
DEC. 13
Talking about testimony on the lane closings by Patrick Foye, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s appointee to the Port Authority:
“When you listen to Mr. Foye’s testimony … he said he didn’t know about it until Friday. Now, he’s the executive director of the Port Authority.
“If the traffic was so awful, no one brought it to his attention until the fifth day in. So if it didn’t get to the executive director of the Port Authority, you can guarantee it didn’t get to me. And, factually, it didn’t get to me.
“The first I ever heard about the issue was when it was reported in the press, which I think was in the aftermath of the leaking of Mr. Foye’s email. I think that was the first I heard of it, but it was certainly well after the whole thing was over before I heard about it.”
