Ex-Christie aide gets 13 months in bridge ploy

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's former deputy chief of staff was resentenced to 13 months for her role in the George Washington Bridge lane-closing scandal.

U.S. District Judge Susan Wigenton resentenced Bridget Kelly in federal court Wednesday in Newark.

Kelly cried as she asked the judge to consider the impact of imprisonment on her children.

She and co-defendant Bill Baroni were convicted in 2016 in what prosecutors and a co-conspirator say was a plot to cause traffic jams near the bridge to punish a mayor who wouldn’t endorse Christie’s reelection.

sorry when they are caught. Too bad she did not consider "the impact on her children" when she was strutting around, full of how powerful she was. Too bad Crispy Crème Christie got off free. He got a cushy job on TV, lying about what a great guy tRump is. Looks as though he gains 5 lbs. for each lie he tells.

Republicans with this stunt. And the misery! If you are going to act like a corrupt crime organization and reward your political allies and punish your enemies, at least don't fuck over your own voters.
