I can't believe some people still believe Christie.  That he was surrounded by the people committing this terrible act, 4 or 5 or 6 of them all conspiring, and he had no idea. 

And, they're okay with his completely lack of control.  Geez, imagine when he's president, with so much more on his plate... will his Sec of Defense start wars without him knowing?  Will his sec of energy just build nuclear plants without him knowing? 

Christie will start to sag in polls by this weekend.

Maddow's face might be annoying as can be... but wow she assembles a good case. 


A growing paper trail continues to implicate New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) with regards to the September 2013 lane closures on the George Washington Bridge, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said on Tuesday. “The governor has absolutely and blatantly not told the truth about what was going on in his office,” Maddow said. Maddow said that Christie’s argument that his administration was unaware of the four-day closures, which were ordered by his deputy chief of staff, Bridget Anne Kelly, was undermined by an email Kelly received on Sept. 11 from state director of departmental relations Christine Genovese Renna. Renna mentions in the email that “Evan” — possibly meaning Christie aide Evan J. Ridley, who records show makes $52,000 a year — had been contacted by Mark Sokolich, mayor of Fort Lee, complaining about the traffic nightmare happening in his town as a result.



Sokolich also mentioned at the time that there was sentiment among his constituents that it was politically-motivated. (Sokolich later said he believed Christie when the governor told him that was not the case.) “That means that during the shutdown, three people who work in the governor’s office are emailing about the ongoing bridge lane shutdown and the disaster that it’s causing and the allegation that it is politically motivated,” Maddow said. “There’s no discussion whatsoever about there being some traffic study, which the governor says was the prevailing belief about what was happening with that bridge.” Maddow also pointed out that Renna snidely refers to Sokolich as “the fine Mayor” in the email, and does not appear to need to explain to Kelly who he is.



“The governor’s top staff were discussing the shutdown — the effect of it, the allegations of political retribution, and the mayor of Fort Lee in provocative terms while the shutdown was still happening,” Maddow explained. “Despite Governor Christie’s denials, it seems like something was going on between the governor’s office and that specific mayor, that specific man. And lots of people who work for Governor Christie and who work in the governor’s office and the governor’s inner circle were in discussions about that shutdown while it was happening.”



Besides those three, Maddow continued, Christie’s incoming chief of staff, Regina Egea, was contacted by state Port Authority Executive Director Patrick Foye regarding the possibly illegal shutdown; his campaign manager, Bill Stepien, was quoted as calling Sokolich “an idiot” in another email; his spokesperson, Michael Druniak, was alerted by David Wildstein and Bill Baroni — both Christie appointees — when the press began asking questions about the shutdowns; and despite Christie’s claim that he “could count on one hand” the number of coversations he has had with Wildstein, pictures have surfaced showing the two of them together on Sept. 11.

Federal subpoenas fly in Bridgegate

The U.S. attorney’s office in New Jersey has subpoenaed Gov. Chris Christie’s reelection campaign and the state Republican party for documents related to the George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal, a lawyer for the two groups confirmed Thursday.
The subpoenas indicate the growing seriousness of the controversy for Christie, a potential 2016 GOP presidential contender who has seen his poll numbers sink as the lane closures and subsequent allegations of political retribution have gained public attention.

Both the campaign and the state party “intend to cooperate” with the U.S. attorney and a separate state legislative panel investigating what’s been dubbed “Bridgegate,” said lawyer Mark Sheridan of the high-powered firm Patton Boggs.
(Earlier on POLITICO: Christie's allies cry 'Partisan!')
NJ.com first reported the issuing of the federal subpoenas. Rebekah Carmichael, a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman, said in an email that the office “can neither confirm nor deny specific investigative actions.”
The state legislative panel subpoenaed Christie’s campaign and his gubernatorial office for documents earlier this month. It also has sent subpoenas for documents to campaign manager Bill Stepien, fundraiser Nicole Davidman Drewniak and regional political director Matt Mowers, along with 15 other current or former officials in Christie’s office and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the agency that controls the bridge.

Christie's Biggest Sandy Contractor Fired
Company Also Made Donation to Group Run by Christie

Thursday, January 23, 2014
WNYC
By Matt Katz : New Jersey Public Radio

Sandy recovery has been the signature achievement of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, yet WNYC has learned his administration quietly terminated its contract with its biggest contractor in charge of getting Sandy victims back in their homes.

The company won its contract last May shortly after its law firm made a $25,000 donation to the Republican Governors Association, which is now headed by Christie and contributed $1.7 million to his re-election campaign. According to the Wall Street Journal, the contractor's law firm is a based in New Jersey and politically connected.

HGI was being paid $68 million in fees to administer a $780 million program. Its performance was widely criticized at legislative hearings in Trenton over the last several months for being inefficient and unhelpful, and for losing paperwork. The contract was terminated in December, and took effect on Monday, but that had not been publicly announced. Documents indicating the arrangement were found on a state web site. The company is to be paid $10.5 million as an "unpaid balance" — and for work performing during a "transition period" following termination.

HGI was also criticized for how it implemented its home reconstruction program in Louisiana after Katrina, according to the Wall Street Journal. Company officials have said they were improving operations.

Christie's National Poll Numbers Plummet


Source: TPM

Americans have taken a decidedly more negative view toward Chris Christie, according to a poll out Tuesday, a sign that the New Jersey governor's once-solid national profile has been damaged by the scandals surrounding his administration.

To be sure, the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll showed that there are still plenty of Americans who don't have an opinion of Christie. But among those who do, the Republican governor's individual rating has taken a dip.

Only 22 percent said they have a positive view of Christie, down 11 points from the NBC/WSJ poll in October. Moreover, his negative rating has climbed from 17 percent in October to 29 percent in the latest survey.

The reversal to Christie's standing dovetails with a rise in public skepticism toward his denials that he ordered or knew about the lane closures on the George Washington Bridge last summer. Forty-four percent now say that Christie is not telling the truth, while 42 percent say they buy his story. An NBC/WSJ poll earlier this month showed that 44 percent believed Christie, compared with only 33 percent who didn't think he was telling the truth.

Christie Knew About Lane Closings as They Happened, Ex-Ally Says
The 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, 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 was aware of the closings, something he repeatedly denied during a two-hour press conference earlier this month.
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.

typical ghetto, mafioso, thug trash

Give them power and they become another fascist like Mussolini.

[240 is Back]

Yep, he knew.  And Wildstein's emails are going to prove it.  Already, we have the word of the guy that went to high school with Christie, climbed the ranks with him... and he's now saying christie knew in real-time.

And he claims to have evidence.  They'll give him immunity, he'll spill the Gmail proving it, and VOILA, the ONE thing Christie had going for him - that he's a straight shooter - will be gone.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was booed as he took the stage at the Super Bowl handoff ceremony in Times Square on Saturday.

As if it weren't enough that his former ally, ex-Port Authority Official David Wildstein, is saying that there is evidence Christie knew about the George Washington Bridge lane closings that caused a monstrous days-long traffic jam in Fort Lee -- now he's getting booed in public, too.

The crowd jeered as Christie took the podium to "hand off" the Super Bowl to Arizona, the host of next year's big game:
