Chris Christie can start working on the resignation speech now -- HE KNEW!

Well first things first. First, which scandal are we talking about? The G.W. Bridge scandal. Christie's school chum (and Christie barely even knew the guy before he fired him *wink wink*) David Wildstein says Christie was well aware the entire time despite his "Aw shucks some bad people did some bad things" speech a few weeks back:

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.

So New Jersey, and to a lesser extent America, we got lied to. Johnny said the tells were there on the day Christie gave the speech he wasn't telling the truth. The question now is what are we gonna do about it? Are we gonna sit there and take it? Johnny sure isn't. Christie gave a two hour presser where he lied most of the time. Right to us. So, who do you believe NOW about the threat of holding back Hoboken relief for the right answer on the Rockefeller Property?

Seriously New Jersey, what are we gonna do about it?

GW Bridge-gate just got bigger and there is PROOF Christie intended retaliation against Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop!

NorthJersey.com has this bombshell:

On Sept. 9, the first morning of the lane closures, Kelly asked in an e-mail if Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich’s numerous calls to Port Authority officials had been returned.

“Radio silence,” Wildstein replied. “His name comes right after mayor Fulop,” an apparent reference to Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, who also said this week that the Christie administration had retaliated against him last year because he didn’t endorse the governor for re-election.

The GW Bridge closure fiasco goes right to the top -- A smoking gun found in Fort Lee

You remember Governor Chris Christie blowing off speculation that the suspicious lane closures at the GW Bridge that jammed up Fort Lee traffic (including emergency service vehicles) saying they were nothing more than a traffic study right? Forget the fact most traffic studies are done as computer models. Forget the fact ONE Christie ally at the Port Authority said the public wasn't to know about any of this. Forget the fact in his first term Christie's people, through nothing more than their own incompetence cost New Jersey schoolkids some $400 million in federal funding and then tried blaming it on Obama faceless bureaucrats until they got busted for simply not bringing a couple required pieces of paper.

So Christie roared his horrible roar which brings us to today. Mr. Christie, we just know you're an avid Jersey City Desk reader, do you know a woman in your employ goes by the name Bridget Anne Kelly? The state website says she's your Deputy Chief of Staff. Well sit down Governor because you're gonna love what Bridget has been up to. According to the New York Times, she sent an email saying, well here, here it is:

“Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee,” she emailed David Wildstein, Mr. Christie’s close friend and appointee at the Port Authority.

Damn CC, do you allow your Deputy Chief of Staff the leeway to jam up an interstate crossing and backup traffic and emergency services in Fort Lee? Wow, Johnny wants to work for you! It's kind of like the opposite of those online games where you build up civilizations, only here you mess up the grid and screw over the peasants because the local cerf won't say you're great.

“Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee.” WTF Gov? Sure, you'll toss her to the wolves and say, "Whoa look at that wildcat who's so out of control" but we know. Your options are somewhat limited. You can't say you did it yourself or the Tea people would have an actual issue to use against you next January in Iowa. You took out retribution on Mark Sokolich, a Democrat, because he refused to kiss the ring. What you did was use and inconvenience the people of New Jersey and anyone else slowed down at the GW Bridge in your pique. 

The same people you looked like you cared about after Sandy.
