Who’s Who in Bridgegate: A Christie Whodunnit

It started out small. Four days. Two lanes. One angry mayor. A traffic jam in Fort Lee. "It's not that big of deal," New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie insisted.

Then, two weeks ago, the scandal, by now called "Bridgegate," evolved into a full-blown major political maelstrom, ensnaring an ever-growing cast of characters and Christie, the Republicans’ best-hope presidential frontrunner against Hillary Clinton.

The basic story is this: Fort Lee Democratic Mayor Mark Sokolich committed the cardinal sin of not endorsing Christie's reelection campaign (or was it about a development project?). So one of Christie's top aides, Bridget Anne Kelly, emailed Christie ally David Wildstein at the New York and New Jersey Port Authority, "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee."

Weeks later, two access lanes from Fort Lee onto the George Washington Bridge, the busiest bridge in the country that funnels New Jersey’s traffic into Manhattan, shut down, causing four days of gridlock in the bewildered riverside town.

This is just a start. With events and revelations moving so fast, expect more names and more allegations.

1. It's a long read malaise, but google either Hudson County or John V. Kenney. I swear Crispy is

working right out of the playbook. Here, I'll give you the link.

As I stated it's long but what a read. I worked for the NJ Turnpike Authority (assigned to the State Police) during much of this time and gossip was ripe...LOL.
