If Christie had these heart to heart staff meetings a month ago-and demanded

answers, why didn't he tell the press earlier instead of joke mock about it? His claims do not ring true to me at this point.

3. His staff was going back and forth with texts and emails all during the

week the closure was happening, AND they started worrying about the fallout and hearing from reporters--back in September. They were calling Christie's campaign manager and spokesman for help. EVEN IF he didn't know about the bridge closure (and I doubt that), he had to know that his staff was getting him into big, big trouble. For months.

6. Yup.

Much of it doesn't ring true.

What was Kelly's motivation to paralyze Fort Lee? He is claiming his high school pal at Port Authority undertook this action at Kelly's request alone. If so, how many other times have members of his staff implied the Governor's consent to requests? Will there be full investigations into everything in which she's been involved. If it was all her, she could have concocted all sorts of things in Christie's name.

Is he going to push for an unredacted version of these emails?

I am surprised he is taking questions.

7. Your name is so apropos for this post.

You should make this post its own OP.

8. Ha Ha. It is a reference to Bush the Elder

In the Iran-Contra aftermath, he denied everything, his minions ran several paper shredders until they broke, and he pardoned his way out of it.

When Jr was selected in 2000, I joined DU with the firm belief that the truth shall be shredded anew, hence the handle.

Thanks for the advice, I just might do that.
