@nycjim Rasmussen: 56% in NJ Think Christie Should Resign If He Knew About Fort Lee Retaliation. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_state_surveys/new_jersey/56_in_nj_think_christie_should_resign_if_he_knew_about_fort_lee_retaliation …

56% in NJ Think Christie Should Resign If He Knew About Fort Lee...

Most New Jersey voters think it’s likely Governor Chris Christie was aware of the Fort Lee traffic lane closures before they happened and should resign if this is proven. But voters in the state...

3. I sincerely hope that Christie

and his team will all take a fall for this. And yes it is his team, he built that and it most certainly is reflective his style.

Thanks Cha

[Cha]

5. Thank you, she~ It defies credulity to

imagine Christie had his head in the sand for 4 months about the fallout of the GWB Closure. Knowing nothing about it until Wednesday!

The math is too fuzzy.. My theory is he started losing sleep when he realized they weren't going to get away with it and the shit will hit the fan..

[sheshe2]

8. Christie is a piss poor liar, Cha.

I hope a member of his staff throws him under the bus, he deserves it!

[Cha]

10. That would be so just desserts, she.. It was Cruel and Unusual Punishment..

22. I pointed out the TWO nights yesterday, and....

...

If he knew about this he should resign.

If he DIDN'T know about this he should resign.

There's really no way out of this one for him. His arrogance has finally come home to roost.

[Cha]

24. Christie's arrogance will be why he doesn't resign.. UNless..

there's undeniable Smokin' Guns. Stay tuned!

[George II]

26. Prediction? Wildstein will hang him out to dry......yes, stay tuned!

[Cha]

29. Wildstein is radio-active! Is the type to

fall on his sword for his high school buddy who "doesn't know him" or sing like a canary?

to the intrepid reporters who are not letting go!

[Spazito]

4. That's exactly it...

It had been said repeatedly how Christie was and is a control freak, ran a very tight administration yet, in this ONE instance, he knows nothing, is told nothing, has NO interest in pursuing what happened and why it happened and who was responsible. It is a complete 'no sale', imo.

He is well known to be a 'hands-on' administrator, has taken great pride in that in the past but now, all of a sudden, it is completely 'hands-off'. Balderdash, complete balderdash.

[Cha]

6. Hey Spazito! Balderdash..

Fiddle faddle and Rot!

Christie's presser was classic deflect deflect deflect.. but he couldn't do the math..

[Spazito]

11. Hey Cha! I thought Christie's press conference was pathetic...

At first he tried to portray himself as a victim of his inner circle, tried to portray himself as a soft-spoken, heart-broken humble man but when it came time for the questions from the media his true self came out; arrogant, dismissive, self-centered and combative.

There is no question in my mind he knew and he knew when this 'plan' was first hatched sometime in July or August.

[Cha]

12. According to Rachel's latest substantial theory it was

in August after Christie decided he didn't want to let his latest republicon judge go through the confirmation process with the Democratic "animals".

Have you been watching her show?

[Spazito]

15. Yes I sure have...

I think her theory is right on point, make much more sense than the one re retaliation on the Mayor for not endorsing Christie, he wasn't even asked for an endorsement. Something as big as the bridge closure had to be the result of something big, something Christie had thrown a BIG temper tantrum about ie the Dem Senate decisions re his Supreme Court appointments.

I am enjoying thinking about the temper tantrum he must be throwing right now seeing as the hearing on his AG appointment looks to be postponed and won't happen Tuesday. Seeing as all eyes are on him now he can't retaliate as would be his normal response, delicious karma, lol.

[Cha]

16. I hear ya.. all the way to

Hawai'i! Christie must be Livid and can only explode in the privacy of his home or office.. away from pesky cameras so there will be no fresh pics of "I am not a bully" references to mock him.

[laundry_queen]

30. Yep. That AND the way he acted at the press conference.

He reminded me of the way my ex acted when he got caught red handed lying. Uber defensive, blaming others, and acting offended that they 'would do this to him', deflecting from the basic issue at hand, then contrite and apologetic (but never actually apologizing to the ones who needed apologizing to...usually the standard non-apology), then, finally, the victim. Christie played it to a tee, just like my ex does. It was a great performance, but those of us who have dealt with people like him can read him like a book.

[Cha]

37. Exactly laundry queen.

[Spazito]

40. I agree, his press conference showed his gross narcissism, imo...

it was all 'me, me, me' and no genuine contrition toward the thousands who were impacted by the retaliatory action taken. It was nauseating.

I, too, have known people like him so it was easy to read him, recognize what he was really doing and saying.

[laundry_queen]

41. Absolutely agree about the narcissism. And how nauseating it was. nt

[Major Nikon]

7. The simplest reason why Christie didn't ask why is because he already knew

[Cha]

9. Yeah, and why go into that.. we're all on a

need to know basis, right? too bad about those subpoenaed pesky emails.. Oooops!

[George II]

13. I LOVE that feisty woman!

[Cha]

14. Love her too, George!

[Suburban Warrior]

17. Christie is lying...

when he said he just recently learned that this might be political payback. The Wall Street Journal article from December 12 proves he's lying.

Governors Spoke Privately About Bridge Controversy

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie called New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo this week to complain about a Cuomo appointee's handling of a growing controversy over traffic pattern changes on the George Washington Bridge, a person familiar with the matter said.

Mr. Christie, a Republican, complained in a private phone call to Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, that Patrick Foye, the executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, was pressing too hard to get to the bottom of why the number of toll lanes onto the bridge from Fort Lee, N.J. was cut from three to one in early September, according to this person. The lane closures occurred without notice to local authorities, officials have said, and snarled traffic for a week in the small borough on the Hudson River bluffs.

Messrs. Cuomo and Christie share control of the Port Authority, which oversees Hudson River bridges and tunnels and the region's airports and is rebuilding the World Trade Center complex in Manhattan.

20. Thank you for bringing that article to this thread, Suburban Warrior!

There are so many lies going on with this GWBridge Closure that it's hard to remember them all.

"Pressing too hard".. as if Gov Cuomo would mind.


Big Mistake.

[GP6971]

18. Oh, I think he had a lot of curiosity........

the more info he had, the better way to cover it up.

[Cha]

21. I'm sure but Christie was acting like his name was GWBush and had

the curiosity of slug.

[neverforget]

19. Hoisted by his own petard.

I'm feeling lots of schadenfreude about this.

[Cha]

23. It's disgusting, neverforget.. but,

the "is it okay if we smile".. comes from them getting caught RED handed!

[Cha]

25. ..

[Voice for Peace]

27. what was the gov doing while those lanes were shut down?

another poster raised this question and I just don't
think I've read the answer to this anywhere.

while everyone's hair was on fire, where was he?
he wasn't asking people what was going on?

[Cha]

28. Good point, Voice for Peace.. it's chilling..

he's only the Governor, why would he be involved or care about the unexplained traffic jams on the GWB for 4 days in September when the Mayor of Fort Lee and Pat Foye were begging for explanations. It's only happening in his state.

Not one mention in his "sad" presser. Speaking of that.. what a "sad" commentary on his knowing the emergencies that are going on in New Jersey.

[Voice for Peace]

32. just listened to the clip of Al Sharpton w/Barbara Buono.. her conviction impressed me

[Cha]

33. I'll have to check that out.. I'm watching Rachel

now from ProSense's link. John Wisniewski is on starting to talk about the subpoena power that could be derailed on Tuesday with a new chairman coming on board. Rachel's been talking about how it was the subpoena power that brought us all those emails and documents.. without which we would know nothing.

43. Kicking for those

who have no time.

[another_liberal]

44. If a majority of people in N. J. think Christie should resign if he knew beforehand . . .

. . . and a majority think he knew beforehand, then a majority of people in New Jersey think he should resign.

45. Yes, another liberal!
