NJ rep.: ‘Unbelievable’ Christie wasn’t told of George Washington Bridge lane closures
Source: The Hill
The New Jersey state assemblyman leading the investigation of the September lane closures on the George Washington Bridge said it was unbelievable that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) was never told about the issue by his aides.
Christie last week fired a senior aide over the bridge scandal, but insisted that he had no firsthand knowledge of decision to close the bridge lanes that created a traffic catastrophe in Fort Lee, N.J.
State Rep. John Wisniewski (D-N.J.), who is leading the assemblys bridge investigation as a transportation panel chair, said on CBSs Face the Nation he was skeptical Christies aides never told him about the decision to close the bridge lanes or the discussions afterward revealed in emails released this week.
He noted that Christies aide fired last week, deputy chief of staff Bridget Ann Kelly, was with Christie the day she sent the email saying it was time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee.. . .

You have to believe in the tooth fairy at this point to believe Christie didn't know about this and was behind it. Which means he is a liar of the first order, and should be impeached and in jail.
Glad to see that this assemblyman is leading the investigation, given his justified skepticism. Stay safe.
