The Port Authority, which operates the bridge at the heart of a New Jersey scandal, says a key appointee of Gov. Chris Christie directed the controversial closing of access lanes to the George Washington Bridge and did not seek prior approval for any traffic study.

The agency statement came in response to an inquiry from Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., who said there is "zero evidence" that any legitimate traffic study was being carried out at the time the access lanes were closed.

The Port Authority statement, released on Thursday, comes as two New Jersey committees were preparing to subpoena key Christie aides in their investigation of whether his top advisers orchestrated or covered up lane closures near the George Washington Bridge for political purposes.

It was so convenient that a woman was fired. And so quickly.

This is deeper than the media wanted to admit at first.

Follow the money!
