Prediction: Someone is going to plead out in the Bridgegate scandal in exchange

for cooperation in the case against Christie. Once the extent of the prosecution's case is clear but before the case goes to the jury, one or both defendants are going to plead and make a deal. Christie will be impeached or forced to resign as governor.

Man, I hope you are right.
Christy is an arrogant, disgusting, vindictive slob that I would trust about as far as I could throw him.

And one of the things you can count on in life is that little fish do not allow themselves to swallowed up while the big fish goes free. It is pretty clear that Christie is the main target of prosecutors.

The trial has started. The time for that kind of deal has come and gone.

As things stand, the defendants have no motivation to protect Christie anyway, since they would want to shift as much blame to him as possible, absent any kind of deal.
