"Six Reasons Chris Christie Is Probably Guilty"

Six Reasons Chris Christie Is Probably Guilty

"SNIP.........................................



1. Wildstein is claiming evidence exists that Christie knew. He would look bad if such evidence does not come to light.


2. Wildstein spent time with Christie while the lanes were closed. If you had been ordered to close traffic lines for punitive reasons, and you saw the governor, wouldn’t you either tell him about it, or else already know he approved? Undertaking an action like that without knowing the governor approved it, and without having any desire to take credit, seems like an implausible motivation.


3. Christie has changed his story about when he knew about the lane closings. Having first asserted he learned on October 1, Christie later claimed he learned earlier, though would not say when.


4. His campaign manager is pleading the fifth.
