Little rat squealed on the medium-sized rats.

Baroni, the former deputy executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and Kelly, a former deputy chief of staff of Gov. Chris Christie, allegedly conspired to close the Fort Lee lanes of the George Washington Bridge in 2013.

David Wildstein, another former Port Authority executive, named Baroni and Kelly when he pleaded guilty Friday to his role in the politically-motivated closure of lanes to get back at the Fort Lee mayor.

1. There is no way that Kelly went rogue on this.

Christie is the one who ordered this. Just my opinion from what I can tell about Christie. His staff does not go rogue.

These people are taking one for the governor. And Christie has been lying throughout the entire affair.

One wonders whether loyalty trumps ethics, or possibly cutting a deal.

Cultural reference: You know, a deal deal! Maybe the guy is a Republican.

2. There is zero chance that the PRICK was not only not involved, but it is a CERTAINTY that

he ordered it all.

NO human being alive who knows anything about NJ politics and this particular politician will deny that

3. So no more denying that the bridge closure was political in nature is possible.

That's got to hurt.

Timed for the first day of class.

Corrupt thugs.

5. I'm sure Mr Christie is sad and shocked that his trusted subordinates...

... would take it upon themselves to carry out such a program. *Sigh*, it's so hard to be a chief executive these days.
