How could anyone not believe that Chris Christie knew what was happening after reading this article.

"Mr. Christie has said that he had not been aware of his office’s involvement in the maneuver, and nothing has directly tied to him to it. But a close look at his operation and how intimately he was involved in it, described in interviews with dozens of people — Republican and Democrat, including current and former Christie administration officials, elected leaders and legislative aides — gives credence to the puzzlement expressed by some Republicans and many Democrats in the state, who question how a detail-obsessed governor could have been unaware of the closings or the effort over months to cover up the political motive."

Did I just see UM claim that "Bridgegate" was a crime, but Benghazi was just a "conspiracy theory"?

Okay two more words for you, UM... Brian Terry. How's that?

UM, you're drinking so much of the Democratic kool-aid, you're IGNORING legitimate criminal activity just to score political points. Are you sure your name is Wasserman-Schultz?

They are turning on each other like crazy.

Christie really painted himself into a box with those press conferences he held. Having been a federal prosecutor involved in many political corruption cases it is hard to believe that he would have be so definitive about knowing nothing about the lane closures. It seems hard to believe he wouldn't have made short very nonspecific comments and left it at that. He also could have provided a softer landing for his cronies for his own good.

Weird letter from the lawyer. "Evidence exists" that CC knew before he said he knew? seems like they would produce the evidence if they had it. It also seems like it's not that big of a deal even if its true. the only question is whether he ordered it or not.

weirder reponse from the governors office. it's not far from calling the guy a "poopy face".

It's only a matter of time before this gets back to Christie. When I first heard of this crap I didn't put it beyond something Christie would do.

Even if Christie had nothing to do with this the left wing media will make sure he did.

Other than the MSM and liberals that would never vote for him anywy, no one seems to give a damn about bridge gate.

That is right, resort to name calling. Classy.

I don't. It's hardly something new for politicians to pull.

What's the big deal guys? He was a Democrat until Corzine poisoned the party by destroying the State retirement funds. He switched parties to get elected. That doesn't make him a Republican, just an opportunist like a lot of other politicians.

Well, because his lips were moving!

Did anyone else watch "Morning Joe" panel argue for a hour this morning on whether
Chris Christie knew "why" the lanes were closed, or just that they were closed?

Probably going to try to hang this one on Christie also:

http://www.nj.com/super-bowl/index.ssf/2...aj-story-1

As lopsided as the score was would normally see fans leaving
a lot sooner. Guess when you pay exorbitant amounts to attend
the Super Bowl, in some cases, you want to get your money's worth.
Wonder what if anything Christie could have actually done to get more
railcars there when needed. Would think safety would have been compromised.
But they will blame Christie.

See, $1,000,000 study shows Chris Christie was innocent.
Aren't we ashamed we ever blamed him.
Of course his staff had the study done.
