Poor Christie...lied to by his Deputy Chief of Staff and even his Campaign Manager and appointees at the Port Authority. How they took advantage of this meek and gullible governor.

Well he does get .. what about 5 more "I didn't know's" and "What difference does it make" to catch up to Dems.

The hypocrisy of the left is hysterical.

Christie is starting to come off as a curious mixture of Tony Soprano and Lou Costello. "Bridge-ghazi Gate" may well pull him down a few pegs in the eyes of many potential voters. I wonder how his statement of "I knew nothing", but "I am ultimately responsible," will play with those road raged-enhanced commuters waiting to get across the G.W. Sure ...steal a few bucks, but don't make me late for work!

What a great appointment, Wildstein. The mayor of Ft Lee is right Wildstein needs a good ass kicking.

You mean the way Obama used the IRS against his political enemies?

Perhaps the target of the retribution was not the Mayor of Ft Lee but rather the "animals" in NJ Senate...

His own people seem to have absolutely no respect for him.

Well, he still has plenty of time to recover from this for 2016, but this wont help him, that's for sure.

Should see the comments on Politico and WSJ, decrying what some now see as "Nixonian-Era Tactics."

Emails tie Chris Christie aides to bridge flap - Elizabeth Titus - POLITICO.com

Christie Aide: 'Time for Some Traffic Problems' - WSJ.com

EDIT: And at this time, Staffers from Cruz's, Paul's, and others offices are going to be all over this. Every single piece of dirt they can find now. Christie is going to feel this one somewhere.
Is it not extremely hypocritical of the media to decry Cristie as using "Nixonian-Era Tactics" when Obama has been using those very same tactics for the last 5 years without a peep from the Messiah worshiping media?

You certainly can expect more of these "Nixonian Era-Tactics" from Republicans in the future. Like the next Republican President will merely declare ObamaCare null and void, and completely ignore Congress and the courts, just like Obama does now. Like I said in the post above, what goes around, comes around. You will reap what you sow.

A perfect replacement for the Chicago thug that surrounds himself with corrupt employees currently occupying the White House. I am certain Christie will be every bit as honest and as compassionate as Obama has been when he deliberately lied to the American people and took millions of health care insurance policies from Americans.

Well, I am inclined (as always) to give people the benefit of the doubt, hence I believe Governor Christie's claim that was unaware of what those people were doing. He does not strike me as a fool, and only a fool would spend two hours in front of cameras and make such claims if he were, in fact, aware of the closings. Unless other facts come forth, I would advise the Democrats to not focus on this issue in future.
