"Time For Some Traffic Problems In Fort Lee" & "Got It" To Me Sound Like This.....

bridge closing was discussed before hand and that the order was given (IMHO by Christie) to Bridget Kelly to initiate the plan. The response "Got It" seems to me to affirm this - like he was saying - ok - the plan will be initiated.

I'm coming in on this whole scandal rather late and if this was discussed before - I'm sorry - but this is my interpretation of these e-mails

I have to think that whatever Christie said that he had no knowledge of this - is an outright lie. I'm sorry I don't think a Deputy like Kelly has the authority or power to pass on that info and initiate something of this nature by herself. I don't think the response would be "Got It" if the receiver of Kelly's e-mail thought this was something being put into action solely by Kelly.

Just my 2 cents on this.

Governor - you got some 'splaining' to do.

The fact that the top deputy is involved is damning evidence of Christie knowing about this as no one in that position would initiate something like this without being told to or getting permission.

That was, "Time to implement what we discussed".

Does anybody believe that Wildstein does this on orders of a staffer? That order had the power of the governor behind it.
