Governor Christie’s top Port Authority appointees were keeping his campaign manager informed about the fallout from the lane closures from their earliest stages, according to documents released today by the George Washington Bridge investigative committee.

The Port Authority executives each forwarded campaign manager Bill Stepien an email on Sept. 12 – the third day of the closures, which caused huge traffic jams in Fort Lee -- from the borough’s mayor, who complained that the closures endangered the public.

Those executives, Bill Baroni and David Wildstein, have since left the authority. Stepien has lost a consulting contract with the Republican Governors Association – a job he took shortly after last November’s gubernatorial election. Christie is chairman of the Republican group.

In the letter from Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich, the Democrat complains that he is “reaching the conclusion that there are punitive overtones associated with this initiative.”

Could it be possible that Christie's campaign manager was keeping this a secret from Christie only weeks before the election? Highly doubtful!

Emails: Christie adviser kept in loop on scandal

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Gov. Chris Christie's campaign manager was kept informed of complaints over traffic backups near the George Washington Bridge even while lanes remained blocked, according to emails released Monday about the apparent political payback plot orchestrated by the governor's aides.

More emails involving two-time Christie campaign manager Bill Stepien were made public in a legal filing by the state legislative panel investigating the closures. They are the latest documents to be turned over to a judge considering Stepien's request to quash a subpoena from the panel looking into the deliberate attempts to create gridlock in the town of Fort Lee.

One email shows Christie's top appointee at the bridge agency, Bill Baroni, looping in Stepien on a letter of complaint on the fourth full day of the September lane closures.

"Thanks," Stepien replied after being forwarded the letter from Mark Sokolich, the mayor of Fort Lee, where traffic backed up for hours, stalling school buses and emergency vehicles.
