Christie Knew
Breaking: NYT
He lied. He knew but said he did not. Now he says he forgot. Bye-bye Christie.
Other interesting new facts emerged, revealed in the report, that are scandalous.
Port Authority told Christie about the closings at Sept. 11 meeting.
The Port Authority official who oversaw the lane closing at the George Washington Bridge said that he had he informed Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey about it at a Sept. 11 memorial while the closings were occurring, according to an internal investigation released on Thursday by lawyers for the governor.
The official, David Wildstein, told Mr. Christie’s press secretary of the Sept 11 conversation at a dinner in December just before his resignation from the Port Authority, according to the report.
The report said that Mr. Christie did not recall any such conversation and finds no evidence that he was involved in the scheme, which snarled traffic for thousands of commuters in Fort Lee, N.J., from Sept. 9 through the morning of Sept. 12.
It is said that he got tears in his eyes when he was told in January. I'm sure he was thinking, "there goes my presidency.

blame on a woman, when he micromanaged everything. So if his exoneration team says there is some indication of a change in story, I'm on the he's guilty of orchestrating the whole thing along with all the other dirt and bodies that have risen to the surface in the interim.

though maybe the New Jersey State House should be in that bubble also!

Got it
This tells me that there was in place a vindictive retaliation response to a public figure Christie didn't like, one who won't or didn't do as he wanted, and it was initiated by this cryptic "code."
I mean, if I got an email with "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee," my response would be
I wonder if this was all worked out and one need only supply the location: "Time for some traffic problems in ________" Just fill in the space with a location.
So, this scheme had to have been discussed and planned in meetings; meetings involving everyone connected to Christie. And it might have taken several meetings to work out a plausible strategy. I just don't think Christie was ignorant to this. Uh, Governor, we're having another one of our 'meetings' so we want you to stay in your office this afternoon. 'Got it' [font size="1"]wink-wink[font size="2"]
It sounds like SOP and I now I wonder how many times this vindictive retaliation response was used prior to the GWB fiasco?

“The governor points out that the mention of a traffic issue in Fort Lee would not have
been memorable or meaningful,” Mr. Mastro added.

“It serves no one’s interest for us to try and do anything other than uncover the truth
and report the truth,” Mr. Mastro said. “Because we are going to be judged if we got it right.”

It suggests that Mr. Christie became highly emotional at a meeting in the State House in
January when he learned that Ms. Kelly and Mr. Stepien were involved in the scheme, even
“welling up with tears.”

“Randy Mastro could have written his report the day he was hired and saved the taxpayers
the million dollars in fees he billed in generating this one-sided whitewash of serious misconduct
by the Christie administration,” Ms. Zimmer, a Democrat, said in a statement.
Christie is toast .... this report is gas on the fire.
BTW ...... So tell me again why P.A. cops were telling drivers stuck in traffic the jam was
the mayor of Ft. Lee's fault?
Everything else is legalize
