More than two years after a multi-million dollar taxpayer-funded internal investigation of the Bridgegate scandal “cleared” Gov. Chris Christie, loose ends keep popping up. One can only hope that the Department of Justice, which counts Christie as a former employee as a U.S. Attorney, is still paying attention.

Back in March of 2014 the taxpayer-funded report commissioned by Christie was issued by Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, which counts Ted Olsen, of Bush vs. Gore fame as one of its own. At the time, the 300-page report was widely read as an exoneration of Christie of any advance knowledge of the lane closures and of the subsequent cover-up. Coming, as it did, months ahead of the GOP presidential primary cycle it was seen as a political lifeline for Christie.

What’s New?

In December of 2014, several months after the release of the Gibson Dunn report, the New Jersey Legislative Select Committee of Investigation issued a report that included the results of a subpoena of AT&T for phone records and meta data which showed that on Dec. 9, 2013 there were a dozen private text messages between Christie and Regina Egea, his eventual chief of staff.

At the time of her texting with Christie, Egea was the director of the Authorities Unit in the Office of the Governor, and played a pivotal role in the Christie administration’s response to the Bridgegate scandal, which
In sworn testimony Egea only admitted to sending one text “not at all substantive” and then deleting it. Christie told reporters, when questioned about the missing texts, that “it obviously was something of no moment or import because I have no recollection of it at all.”

1. I wonder how

Christie will spin this to blame all of this on the public unions here in NJ -- that is is go to scapegoat for everything that went wrong in NJ since he was first elected.

2. Bridgegate is proof that Christie is

the definition of a ReTHUG -a nasty,vindictive, criminal who will stop at nothing for power. He should be in prison.

3. I completely agree.

I cannot wait until his term is over so we don't have to deal with his over compensating tough guy bully act anymore.

I hope something actually comes out of bridge gate and takes this asshole down.

4. Anyone know the latest on revealing the identities of the unindicted co-conspirators?

I understand there was supposed to be a hearing on June 6, but never heard anything after that.
