back to the chris Christie bridge situation
remember chris Christie statements about when he found out
the first time about these controversial politically motivated lane closures
which led to you
delayed emergency response vehicles and backed up traffic in Fort Lee for a
really long time in New Jersey
this is what chris Christie had to say a factually
it did not get to me I'm in the first I ever heard about
the issue was when it was reported in the press which i think was in the
aftermath of mister
the leaking of mister forays email I think that was the first I heard of it
but I
it was certainly well after the whole thing was over that's very clear
we played that video last week when we started to get a sense that there may be
information released in the future
that suggest chris Christie did know
about the lane closures before the entire thing was over in chris Christie
was very clear
well it seems we now have even more suggestion that chris Christie
didn't know all about this the Newark star-ledger
is reporting the New Jersey legislative committee investigating the bridge gate
scandal will probe records
helicopter rides that Governor Chris Christie took
to see if he did line near Fort Lee D
while the lanes leading to the George Washington Bridge were closed according
to what sources told The Post
sources in the governor's office listen to this said that Christie took a ferry
to ground 0
from Jersey City on the 9/11 anniversary
and then flew back to Trenton but that the controversial
David wilde's teen was not on board if this is true
chris Christie is going to have to explain why he was flown
over the bridge on the third day the politically-motivated traffic jam that
was engineered by officials in his office
to punish fort Lee's democratic mayor
was it because he wanted to look at how bridge
bridge gate was panning out David wild steen
I says that he
knows evidence that chris Christie was lying when he said he didn't know
anything about it
is this possibly the smoking gun that he hinted at during January
it very well may be and again every week
we seem to be slightly her there from believing the chris Christie story that
he knew nothing about it
and slightly closer Louis to having evidence that he knew all about
looking back on stories where something like this happens where politician is
suspected of doing something like this
and then there's a huge investigation everyone's looking into it every week
there's a little more information
none of them have ever ended well for that person who's been
under suspicion rate if if I think I had three months
does this scenario where it was all a big misunderstanding and understanding
in chris Christie is completely vindicated having known
anything at all does that feel like a likely thing
it really doesn't feel very likely yeah that never happens
I don't think there's any way he will be our exonerated here I think this just
spells disaster
Republicans and Democrats should be completely united about this by the way
I know that because if the system we have in which
you need your political base to get elected in the first place to the money
you raise and then you need to have allegiances in order to stay in office
in to grow go to greater office
understand all that and I get that third there's a very partisan element to this
but why would either side what
a liar who is willing to shut down transportation leading to delayed
emergency response vehicles why would anyone what someone like that in office
whether you're a Republican or a Democrat if you're a democrat you want
him out
and you presumably want to replace him with a democrat if you're a republican
wouldn't you also want him out and replace him with an honest republican if
you can find one
that would be ideal I can have someone who just
does stupid things based operational emotions but then again
are you could look at pretty much our entire political system in see that
