The former Port Authority official who personally oversaw the lane closings at the George Washington Bridge, central to the scandal now swirling around Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, said on Friday that “evidence exists” that the governor knew about the closings when they were happening.
A lawyer for the former official, David Wildstein, wrote a letter describing the move to shut 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.
My Two Cents
Of course, Chris Christie knew about the lane closing on the GW Bridge. His denials are as credible as Lance Armstrong's denials. And all of us in the public KNOW, he knew. The only open question will be HOW this impacts his 2016 plans.
