Kelly was messaging about GWB lane closures on day she accompanied Christie to Seaside fire
Source: Bergen Record
Bridget Anne Kelly, the aide Governor Christie fired for her role in manufacturing a Fort Lee traffic jam apparently as political retribution, was receiving messages about what to tell reporters before she accompanied him to the Seaside Heights boardwalk fire, newly released documents show.
On the fourth day of the traffic jam, the governor - accompanied by Kelly - rushed to the scene of the inferno raging in Ocean County. The pair arrived at the boardwalk on Sept. 12 at about 6:25 p.m. The fire was first reported at about 2:05 p.m.
Ocean County photographer, Phil Stinton, snapped photos of Christie and Kelly a Ramsey resident with deep Bergen County political ties at about 7 p.m. walking and talking with firefighters. In one photo, Christie is strutting, fist clenched, absent his suit jacket, sleeves rolled, tie and hair wind blown. Kelly, wearing a mauve blouse, black skirt and pearl necklace, stands alongside him. She is looking down at her smartphone.
About four hours earlier, at 3:18 p.m., Kelly received an email from Port Authority of New York and New Jersey executive David Wildstein, who resigned after months of dogged questions about his order to close toll lanes leading from Fort Lees local streets to the George Washington Bridge. Michael Drewniak, the governors spokesman, was also sent a copy.

(25,922 posts)but the term 'strutting' put me in mind of a bit of dialogue from Woody Allen's Love and Death:
- Careful. It's a trick question.

The Port Authority is reviewing traffic safety patterns at the George Washington Bridge to ensure proper placement of toll lanes, the message reads. The [Port Authority Police Department] has been in contact with Fort Lee police throughout this transition.

I still stand by my post yesterday that Ms. Kelly does not look like a "nice person."
BTW she was less then 3 feet from Gov. Christie as she and Wildstein were making up their cover story
but he knew nothing about it ......

(11,344 posts)More to come soon on this story. This guy's done - he ordered it, lied about it, tried to cover it up.
Done.
I hope you are right, but the msm loves him for some reason. He doesn't deserve to be in office one day longer, when and if all the info comes out I believe he will be forced to leave office. He is a friend of the koch brothers that should say volumes.
There were instances, he said, when she would block volunteers vying for political jobs from moving up. "If someone talked to her funny or didn't give her the right amount of respect, she'd make a phone call and put the kibosh on it." The official said that when he read the e-mail, the language sounded a lot like Kelly.
"It's the banter she would usually have used. It's something that she would have said. I'm just surprised she'd be stupid enough to write it down."
also on Bill Stepian and Kelly (Interesting they both separated from their spouses at about the same time. Kelly "blindsided" her pro golfer husband Joe, of 16 years with a request for a divorce that "devastated him". I think Kelly and Stepian were doing the "Appalachian Trail"
"This is a Bridget-and-Bill thing," the operative said. "They might have cooked it up in a Dunkin' Donuts in Trenton or at a nice little dinner in Yardley, Pa."

The guy was a wreck. It was completely out of the blue, a source said.
Records show Bridget Kelly filed for divorce in December 2011, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce was granted in February 2012. She got their Ramsey home, and he moved to Upper Saddle River. They have joint custody of their two daughters and two sons.

So much for the GOP plank that everything is for the kids and grandkids. Only if they're the "right" type, kids of the GOP/TP.
