Bottom line he is quilty as charged!

He knew!

from your link

“The governor’s office directly had notice that this was happening in Fort Lee, and that it was a problem, and that it was maybe illegal and they had that notice directly the week that the shutdown happened,” Maddow said.

terrorism. To think we have people in positions of power who would abuse that power by committing such an act, is scary. These people got caught, how many others are doing stuff like this for petty, political purposes?

And when it's someone who is in a position of public trust, it is worse than terrorism.

But I will be surprised if anyone is charged with anything. We don't prosecute political criminals. Not until the Rule of Law is reinstated.

I dont necessarily think he needs to be charged with terrorism but there should at least be misdemeanor charges brought if the evidence is there.

How would Christie label Occupy Wall Street if they shut down three access lanes to the George Washington Bridge?
