Uh Oh
The New York Times reports that a former Port Authority official says "evidence exists" that New
Jersey Gov. Chris Christie knew about politically motivated lane
closings on the George Washington Bridge as they were happening.
The
assertion contradicts earlier statements by Christie, who has said that
he was "embarrassed and humiliated" when he found out that the lane
closures were politically motivated instead of, as he'd been led to
believe, part of a traffic study.
He said members of his staff
acted without his permission or knowledge in September when they closed
the lanes in what appeared to be an attempt to punish the mayor of Fort
Lee, N.J. The closures caused massive traffic jams.
A letter
from the attorney for David Wildstein, who personally oversaw the lane
closings and resigned as the scandal grew, says his client has evidence
"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."and he can prove the
inaccuracy of some," the letter added.
This man has a career in movieland, after he gets out of prison.
