The plan was to block the Fort Lee entrance to the bridge for four weeks

[malaise]

Drip drip drip - turn on Tweety right fuggin now

[SummerSnow]

1. Wow, this is bad. They are crazy that they thought it would run the distance.

Stupid jerks

[malaise]

4. Amateurs

Pat Foye destroyed the plan

[Cha]

47. "Amateurs"

and then some. they love to screw around with people's lives but they couldn't even do that right.

Pat Foye Can you imagine if they had gone on longer or even thinking they could

[malaise]

54. The really good news is that it is a Bi-state set up

They really are stupid if they thought they could get away with this.

[Cha]

56. UnFriggingBelievable!

[Logical]

2. Still no proof Christie knew about it before it happened. Is there? n-t

[CreekDog]

5. is that your standard? absolute proof that he knew?

ridiculous.

unless you're suggesting he's a hands-off type of governor.

[Logical]

17. So still no proof? n-t

[Skittles]

19. who cares if he didn't know?

we certainly know the kind of sociopaths he trusts, don't we?

[Logical]

20. Yes, he is a total bully and a fake I agree. But I don't think enough to get him to resign. I....

want this guy to be destroyed by this. I am worried he could end up president.

[WinkyDink]

28. I will be President before CC is, FGS. BTW, you know there are more probes than just about the

bridge, right? Hoboken extortion. Sandy $$ misappropriation. Abuse of power with the PA police. Misuse of tax money to hold a Special Election unnecessarily.

[NJCher]

30. oh and let's not forget

How he cancelled the tunnel saying NJ couldn't afford it. The federal gov't had a lot of money into this and they asked for it back. He wouldn't return it and instead used it to pay for fixing roads, so he basically took tunnel money and used it on the roads to avoid raising tolls and taxes.

They're investigating that, also.

There isn't a prayer in hell this guy will ever be president. Federal prison, yes. I can't wait.



Cher

[Logical]

36. Good points. I will celebrate the day he resigns! n-t

[Swede Atlanta]

38. I agree.....

Even if there turns out to be no "smoking gun", these investigations and the revelations of the management of Sandy relief funds, the Hoboken debacle and the GWB incident along with a myriad of other thuggish actions by this governor and his administration, have made him damaged goods.

Democrats will not be cooed by his claim to having engaged in bi-partisanship and gotten bi-partisan support even in his re-election (we now know he strong armed - or maybe big-bellied them - no offense to people of largesse). The tea bag republicans hate him anyway because he embraced the socialist Kenyan community organizer, put a Muslim on a court and didn't keep fags from marrying. Traditional Republicans see him as tainted goods and have no interest in supporting him...question is who will they support? Independents don't like drama. They are looking for someone who is pragmatic but doesn't come with a lot of baggage. Christie has tons of baggage.

I predict the following:
(1) CC bows out of being the head of the RGA association within the next 6 months
(2) CC does NOT pursue any other office
(3) CC may be impeached under NJ law (50-50 chance)
(4) CC is charged with crimes (70-30 chance)
(5) CC is convicted and sentenced to prison (10% chance)

[MyOwnPeace]

39. Swede, you do...

have a way with words:

"maybe big-bellied them, no offense to people of largesse"

"He embraced the socialist Kenyan community organizer"

"didn't keep fags from marrying"

Covers it all quite well!

[Sarah Ibarruri]

22. Oh my goodness. Nah, you're right, he's a babe in diapers and knows nothing

Not even how to tie his shoes.

[Logical]

23. Do you know what "proof" means? Google it. n-t

[Sarah Ibarruri]

24. Are you saying that even if he knew, there's no proof and that's what matters to you?

[Logical]

26. I say that at this point I think there is no proof that he knew. So he walks from this. Which....

sucks!

[Ikonoklast]

40. Why then did Christie ask Cuomo to get Foye to back off investigating his people over the closure?

Back in December.

If he didn't know anything about anything, why did he ask Cuomo to stop investigating something Christie said he knew nothing about?

Who asked Christie to make it stop? Make what stop, Christie said he knew nothing.

What reason did he give Cuomo to put pressure on Foye? That his aides were worried about something Foye was doing, but didn't tell Christie why they were worried, only to make it stop?

After all, he said that he didn't know anything about what his aides were doing right up to the day before he held his press conference.

That December 12 phone call asking Cuomo to stop Foye happened *before* his "I know nothing!" presser .

Christie had to know something about the reason for this investigation by Foye, and that it would hurt him if he didn't get Cuomo to stop it.

Christie is so fucked, he knows it, every day that goes by is one day closer to his being indicted.

All this stuff currently going on are just legal delaying tactics, the end game will soon be upon him.

[Logical]

42. Thanks for the great information. I hope he is done! nt

[malaise]

43. Just wait for a judge to demand those documents from the insiders

Christie is going down just like Blago.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

55. Yes, it sucks if there aren't some heavy repercussions, however...

I think people understand that there's no way in hell he didn't know about this gigantic waste of taxpayer money, time, endangerment of human lives, and, really, crime. He'd have to be in a coma not to have known. It's good enough for me that people understand this.

[WinkyDink]

29. EVIDENCE is being gathered now. Remember where the Jersey Buck stops.

[Ken Burch]

27. Uh...I get what you're saying...

...but now I have the mental image of Christie in a diaper...

No amount of alcohol can erase that from my mind.

Jesus!

[NJCher]

34. go out for a fifth

'Cuz you're gonna' need it after this post:



Now you know there's a contingent of republicans who like to play "baby," don't you?


Cher

[Sarah Ibarruri]

53. EWWW! Yes, unfortunately I do know they like to play baby with prostitutes

They're in desperate need of long-term counseling!

[Sarah Ibarruri]

52. Sorry bout that! It's an ugly image! nt

[rocktivity]

33. It no longer matters if he didn't know -- this has become about what he SHOULD HAVE known.

Who else could have coordinated it all, right down to making sure the nearest air pollution monitors weren't working? And more to the point, who else could have have coordinated it all in a way that DOESN'T point to him?

The evidence in this case it that there IS no evidence.

[malaise]

44. +1,000

2016 is over

[CreekDog]

3. Well he got 4 days, not 4 weeks, and I hope it was worth it to him

after all, he sacrificed being President in exchange for 4 days of screwing tiny Fort Lee.

[CTyankee]

15. I know...it is the Achilles heel of these effin' republicans! They think they can rule the

universe and then OOPS, wha happened?. Good god, these people are STUPID!

[bettyellen]

16. this made me smile

I lovee Cjeeck Dowwg!

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. This is going to be the year of the Republican Governor Scandal

we might see tea pot dome.

[malaise]

7. To quote one Barack Obama

Please proceed Governor(s)

[northoftheborder]

8. please proceed.....

[bettyellen]

18. HA!

[NJCher]

35. are there any

who aren't in trouble?

[sheshe2]

9. The Gov's. The gifts that keep on giving!

Thanks malaise.

[DURHAM D]

10. Tweety is an idiot.

He is still framing questions as if the traffic study was a real thing. He needs to watch Rachel, Chris, Lawrence, Alex, Al, etc.

[malaise]

12. I think he was saying what Chip Michaels (Christie PA cop) told the Fort Lee POlice Chief

I've heard Tweety say the study was a lie on other days

[babylonsister]

21. No, he knows we were fed a bunch of b.s., and has

spent a lot of time debunking the lies.

[Cha]

49. OH Tweety is still framing questions like that.. at first I

thought you meant Christie was.. and I'm thinking.. of course he is!

yeah, tweety really does need to keep up. Should everyone slow down so tweety can get on the same page? About a million pages ago!?

[pnwmom]

11. Then we do know one thing.

Their overblown egos have crowded out every functioning brain cell in their heads.

[malaise]

13. Two words

Arrogance and hubris

[arcane1]

14. We also know that they are NOT, in any sense, public servants.

If Muhammed Christie had shut that bridge down, it would not be considered a "scandal".

[ananda]

25. I'll call your Excelsior and ..

.. raise you a Hallelujah!

[Cracklin Charlie]

31. You've done a great job with this governor scandal!

Thanks for helping me keep up!

[hollysmom]

32. and this is why it is called overreach

4 weeks would have guaranteed someone would have died. Then the shit would have been flying a lot faster than it is today.

The thing that kills me is that a lot of the Sandy crap was going around and people did not question it, yet that is what I think will bring him down. Today he said he spent 40% of his time working on Sandy related stuff - what would that be? figuring out who needs to be rewarded and who needs to be punished with the federal funds - that is a federal crime. Pushing towns to bring in rich developers - like rezoning to get rid of my trailer park? It sure was not for most of the beach towns, only the richest made out.

[NJCher]

37. Yes, he did

And what amazes me is that the federal gov't, as represented by Obama, came here and helped his sorry ass out and now what does he do? He blames the federal government for his disorganization and corruption.

I have to think that is not going down well in DC.

[Dawson Leery]

41. Bill Maher is once again showing his shallowness.

There is alot more to this story. Christie ordered these closures.

[malaise]

45. Agreed

[Cha]

46. "4 weeks"!! Are they insane?!! Rhetorical!

I'm behind on my Bridgegate chapters.. that must be interesting how they discovered that detail.
