NJ State Sen. Weinberg sent letter to Christie on Sept. 19th

[madaboutharry]

Talking Points Memo obtained a letter that NJ State Senator Loretta Weinberg sent to the commissioner of the Port Authority William Schuber, a copy of which was cc'd to Gov. Christie six days after the lanes reopened.

Read the letter at the link.

So I guess Gov. Christie's staff was also hiding his mail.

1. This would be a lot stronger if she had addressed the letter to Christie and asked him for a meeting

As anyone who has worked as a staffer for a high ranking government official can attest, lots (and I mean lots) of correspondence addressed to a lower level official is "cc'd" to more senior officials. Rarely does staff pass those letters on to the high level official, particularly where the letter isn't requesting that the high government official do anything.

2. Sorry but I don't think the pecking order matters one bit when the letter is from

the Senate Majority Leader.

5. +1,000

This was no ordinary copy

3. As any staffer also knows

When a letter arrives to a political office from someone with more influence than the average constituent (ie; the Majority Leader of your State Senate), those letters at least get noted in a summary or directly forwarded to the top for response.

While average constituent correspondence is simply sorted into the A, B, or Ignore piles for pre-approved boilerplate "thank you for agreeing," "here is why I think differently" letters with machine signatures, or no response at all, figures in authority usually receive a personal note and/or personal call. It is very doubtful that any staff member would routinely handle a personal letter copied to the governor from a leader of their State Senate.

4. He knew

and we're all going to have proof

6. While we don't have proof that he didn't know -- as of yet --

we do have proof that he participated in the coverup.
