Stepien told Christie about the GWB traffic plans on Dec 12 - on Rev Al now

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/gov-christie-told-george-washington-bridge-plans-claims-campaign-manager-article-1.1792937
<snip>

Gov. Chris Christie’s former campaign manager says he told the governor about plans to close lanes on the George Washington Bridge in December, contradicting Christie’s claims he had no prior knowledge.

Bill Stepien, who lost his job in the scandal, contends he told Christie about the GWB traffic plans on Dec. 12, a day before the governor told reporters his staff didn’t know about them. Christie issued a public apology on Jan. 9, claiming he was lied to by members of his staff on the controversy. Stepien’s lawyer, Kevin Marino, blasted an internal investigation the governor ordered that concluded Stepien had misled Christie about the politically motivated September closures.

There is no question, none at all, that Christie either thought up the plan himself or was absolutely in on approving it in September.

There is no question about this, absolutely none.

I dont need to go into why a staff member of his would NOT do this on their own, we all know that now.

I have absolutely no doubt that Christie knew from day one because this was his modus operandi.

Still it is the little lies that eventually lead to the big one.

There's only ONE person who had ENOUGH authority to make the lane closings happen, and it sure wasn't his campaign manager!

The trouble with multiple lies is that these lies tend to fall apart over time
