Report: Chris Christie?s Bridgegate probe clears gov - Lucy McCalmont - POLITICO.com
Surely just one important step showing the Gov didn't lie (unlike our many other prominent Washington politicians who have). The Christie haters will continue to hate, the Christie supporters will be rewarded for their steadfast support. The media will likely not say much since this denies a smoking gun and the demise of a rising star Republican. Whether or not Christie runs in 2016 probably hasn't changed - from a political standpoint the damage was done; mission accomplished.
I'm not going to disagree with the findings, as they might very well be true. But this is a report commissioned by Christie, conducted by a law firm with close ties to the Christie administration, that asserts that there was no definite evidence that Christie knew; although it doesn't seek to answer if these sorts of things were condoned by Christie.
Replace Christie with Obama and tell me that you'd accept a similar report.
