Gov. Chris Christie was with the official who arranged the closure of local lanes leading to the George Washington Bridge on Sept. 11, 2013 — the third day of the closures, and well after they had triggered outrage from local officials beset by heavy traffic.It isn’t known what, if anything, Mr. Christie discussed with David Wildstein that day, when the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey official was among the delegation of Mr. Christie’s representatives who welcomed him to the site of the World Trade Center for the commemoration of the 12th anniversary of the terrorist attacks there.
Mr. Christie’s office didn’t respond to questions about what he and Mr. Wildstein discussed. Mr. Wildstein did not respond to a request for comment.
Also present with Mr. Christie that day were Bill Baroni, the authority’s deputy executive director, who was helping Mr. Wildstein manage the fallout from the closures among local officials, subpoenaed documents show. Also there was David Samson, the Port Authority chairman and close Christie ally, who has said he didn’t learn of the lane closures and traffic in Fort Lee, N.J., until an email from a New York port official ordered the lane closures reversed. Messrs. Samson and Baroni didn’t respond to requests for comment.
Mr. Christie addressed Mr. Wildstein in a news conference last week, saying he had not encountered him “in a long time.”
“I have had no contact with David Wildstein in a long time, a long time, well before the election,” which was held Nov. 5, Mr. Christie said last week. “You know, I could probably count on one hand the number of conversations I’ve had with David since he worked at the Port Authority. I did not interact with David.”

Well this just keeps on getting more and more interesting. Let the downfall commence?

give him enough rope ... but make sure it is extra heavy-duty
 
Re: Christie, Official Who Arranged Bridge Closures Were Together During Fiasco

It looks like Christie's temper got the best of him.

Baddah Boom Bahdah Bing!
 
Re: Christie, Official Who Arranged Bridge Closures Were Together During Fiasco

I don't see how this advances a story
 
Re: Christie, Official Who Arranged Bridge Closures Were Together During Fiasco

Okay. I was wrong about Chris Christie. All apologies.

Since his can of worms has been opened and we have discovered a definite pattern regarding him repetitively abusing of power, I formally withdraw my support for him.

I hereby remove my "Chris Christie for President 2016," from my signature line.

But I'm STILL not voting for Hilda. I will go fishing on election day, if it comes down to that.
 
Re: Christie, Official Who Arranged Bridge Closures Were Together During Fiasco

I don't think we need Christie for president.

Yeah! God forbid we have a prez who takes responsibility for what happens on his watch. We sure as hell don't have that now!

That is true. No question.

If you think Chrisite took responsibility then you better say that Obama takes responsibility and isnt incompetent as well.. But we know that will never happen.

Well, I would agree, however, in CC's attempt to fall on the sword by taking responsibility, in the same breath he DID blame it on somebody else but I digress.

I don't know if you have been following the story but now there are some other "political retributions," being discovered, and are being brought to light, as we speak. I question if he will also take responsibility for the new revelations as well. If he does, he's toast. If he doesn't, still, he's toast.

I always liked CC. I was one of his biggest fans here at Debate Politics. I am very disappointed in him as well as disappointed in myself for being so gullible in my blind support of him. I should have known he was too good to be true. :(

So in your opinion we should repeat what you think is wrong with the sitting president?

Well, that would depend on whether he was a democrat or a republican.

I too, was carefully considering Christie if he ran because I liked the way he would be able to speak his mind and didn't care if he pissed off people in his own party or the Democrats, but I guess that was all a snow job. :shrug:

No matter who wins in 2016. Worse and deceitful president than Obama, impossible to imagine. Everyone will be better. So, we can all safely go fishing.

Obviously you missed the sarcasm.

Someone got caught ****ing up; he found out who it was and fired their asses. I'm not seeing the problem. At least he didn't appoint someone that donated thousands to his campaign to investigate the scandal.

That remains to be seen, I guess.

The funniest part about Bridgegate, is that the Obama apologists--not YOU, of course--refuse to let Bridgegate go.

C'mon, admit it; you liked Christie because he kissed Obama's ass.

Who has been fired over IRSgate, Benghazigate, or NSAgate? Hell the regime has yet to stop lying about them...lol!
 
Re: Christie, Official Who Arranged Bridge Closures Were Together During Fiasco

I'm more interested in the result of the subpoena to reveal the identity of the redacted recipient in those e-mails than whether or not Christie took a walk with someone.
 
Re: Christie, Official Who Arranged Bridge Closures Were Together During Fiasco

IRSgate? You mean the IRS doing its job?


C'mon buddy.. A Deadly Mix in Benghazi - The New York Times


NSA is a more complicated issue and it just doesnt rest on the Obama administration itself.

1) Targetting political enemies is the IRS's job?

2) I can't believe actually posted that NYT propaganda piece. That was debunked before it was written.

3) The NSA works directly for the president. The president could fix the spying issue with a phone call.

So, what do we have here: bureaucratic tyranny, 4 dead Americans, perjury and massive civil rights violations that you people continue to either lie about, or ignore, but you refuse to stop wetting your pants over a traffic jam? Really?

I think we will find out sooner than later if Christie had a hand in this. Mainly because he is being investigated by Democrats. If involved he won't be able to prolong the investigation or cover anything up. Christie's pile of chips will fall where they may.
 
Re: Christie, Official Who Arranged Bridge Closures Were Together During Fiasco

Do we really have to go through this again? They didnt "target" anyone. They looked at files of both liberal, and conservative groups.


2) I can't believe actually posted that NYT propaganda piece. That was debunked before it was written.
Of course it does :roll:


3) The NSA works directly for the president. The president could fix the spying issue with a phone call.
Except its way more complicated than that.
