NY Times: Christie Knew About GW Bridge Lane Closings
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 1-31-2014 | Jim Hoft

He knew. The liberal New York Times reported today that Governor Chris Christie knew about the lane closings on the George Washington Bridge when they were happening. The New York Times reported:

The former Port Authority official who personally oversaw the lane closings on the George Washington Bridge in the scandal now swirling around Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey said on Friday that the governor knew about the lane closings when they were happening.

In a letter released by his lawyer, the official, David Wildstein, a high school friend of Mr. Christie’s who was appointed with the governor’s blessing at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which controls the bridge, described the order to close the lanes as “the Christie administration’s order” and said “evidence exists as well tying Mr. Christie to having knowledge of the lane closures, during the period when the lanes were closed, contrary to what the governor stated publicly in a two-hour press conference” three weeks ago.

Christie denied knowledge of the scandal, “I had no knowledge of this.”

NBC News today talked about ... IMPEACHING Christie.

He did not give MANPADS to al QAEDA or have
an Ambassador raped and murdered.

So, with this, and next week’s weather,
the MSM can coverup every single abomination
of this administration.

This is just like the Christians and the Muslims.

Everyone is supposed to know the Muslims are rioting murderers that we have to tolerate and appease and the Christians are supposed to keep a stiff upper lip and are in trouble if they don’t.

And everyone is supposed to know that the rats cheat and lie and we’re just supposed to accept that’s what the cool kids do and the Republicans are supposed to be saints and are in big trouble if they aren’t.

Nobody has yet shown that Crusty knew of intentional closures perpetrated for political vendetta. That’s the point where he will be toast.

I agree. It generally takes 45 minutes to get across that bridge on a good day from what I hear. So for a couple of days it took longer. Big deal.

Folks, this is exactly what they do to our Conservative candidates. Why do we play along like we’re not at war. I wouldn’t vote for Cristie, but I’ll be damned if I’ll sign on and play the Democrats gotcha game with them.

F the Democrats and their propaganda machine.

Christie is a NE Liberal. His administration behaved as one would expect a Liberal Administration to behave. Why is anyone surprised?

They are not scared. He is a big, easy target. Also he played up to them so Christie thought he was part of their team and they would leave him alone. They saw an easy fool and they hit the easy target for mileage.

My parents took me back East in 1987 to visit relatives, and we decided one day to drive from New Jersey into NY City, and then out to Long Island. I remember my dad complaining all the time about the bridges and the traffic. There's nothing new here.
