Gov. Christie Tells Diane Sawyer His Style Didn't 'Inspire' Bridge Scandal
Source: ABC News
Gov. Chris Christie insisted today in an exclusive interview with ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer that he "did nothing to create the environment" that prompted some of his former top aides to cause a traffic nightmare on the George Washington Bridge to punish the mayor of Fort Lee, N.J.
Christie spoke with Sawyer at his home in Mendham, N.J., hours after a report was released today by a law firm hired by the Christie administration to conduct an internal probe of the September bridge scandal. The report cleared Christie of any involvement in or knowledge of the traffic fiasco.
Christie said he is relieved to have the facts. He rejected any suggestion that the outside law firm that was appointed by his office would "whitewash" its findings to protect him.
"These people have their own professional and personal reputations," he said. "Six of them were former federal prosecutors. They're not going to whitewash anything for me and put their reputations at stake."

Nope, being a reactionary bully had no part at all in punishing a politician who refused to support him. His underlings took it all upon themselves to do the dirty work. Yup, I believe every word he says.
