Allentown Morning Call, Reuters ^ | 1/9/13 | Ellen Wulfhorst

The U.S. Attorney in New Jersey will probe the scandal surrounding the lane closures on the George Washington Bridge, a scandal that has engulfed Gov. Chris Christie, the New York Times is reporting.

Christie, a possible Republican White House candidate, is holding a news conference at his office in the state capital of Trenton this morning.

The controversy erupted with the public release of incriminating emails showing that a top Christie aide played a key role in closing some lanes to the bridge, in a ploy to punish the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee, New Jersey, who didn't endorse Christie for re-election.

This is how we know Christie is a liberal.

This type of political revenge is normal operating procedure for liberals.

No morals, no ethics, just mean and ugly.

That is Liberal stuff.

I’ll tell you........ this guy is as slick as Bubba was. I’m 54 years old. My age and experience leads me to believe that he’s paid the key people to fall on the sword. He has said everything exactly perfect in this news conference so far. But I’m way to old to believe what any politician says when his/her hand has been caught in the cookie jar.

Give credit to the plumbers that do the digging, and the leakers... leakers gonna’ leak. David Axelrod? Is that you? This whole charade must be exploited to TAR THE SCUM MEDIA for their double standards, and smear Obama for zero accountability towards the perps in his filthy administration.

Does he have that kind of money? The people he fired are done for life as far as employment goes.

Christie is doing a good job of handling the situation. Totally taking responsibility with humility.

Barry could take note.

No sale, Krispy. Why didn’t you look into the lane closures as they were happening? Too stupid? In that case, no WH for you. Stupid AND fat is no way to run the country, you idiot.

He’s part of the republican machine. Sure he’s got that kind of money..... And these people he’s firing... they’ll end up employed. You know that’s part of the deal.

There’s something delicious about Christie getting the latex glove treatment by the Obama DoJ after his bouts of unrepentant suck up to Obama following Sandy.

And as to his outrage on the matter, this seems vaguely familiar to when Ed Rollins went public with how he, as a leader of the Whitman Campaign, had bribed black ministers with walking around money. Which Whitman of course knew nothing about ...

"How'd I do?"

We can't tell you yet, it's an ongoing investigation - or - you should ask the relevant departments which handle such issues.

Its typical blue state corruption.

Hurricane Sandy was nothing of a Hurricane but hitting where 100 Years of graffe had taken place it made it a Super Storm.

As a 4th Generation Floridan it kills me to see when a Yankee State get a Hurricane how all the money spent is wasted on Mafia- Politicians pockets

The media's obsession with this is clearly disproportionate to how they've BURIED Benghazi, the IRS scandal, the NSA overreach, the surrender to Al Qaeda, persistent high unemployment, 0bamacare failures, etc..

And to think this bridge closure thing doesn't even affect every single American like most of the Marxist's scandals do.

Well he just sent up a red flag.....he has no interest in talking to Bridget. I think he, and everyone, needs to know why she did what she did.
