DESPITE HIS DENIALS DID GOVERNOR CHRISTIE KNOW ABOUT THE BRIDGE CLOSURES IN SEPTEMBER ?..............

Yesterday, a further development in the George Washington Bridge lane closures last September brought about by officials of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's Administration was alleged by the attorney for former Port Authority Director David Wildstein, writing in a lette released to the New York Times stating, the order to close the Bridge was, "the Christie Administration's order"...continuing, "evidence exists as well tying Mr. Christie to having knowledge of the lane closures, during the period the lanes were closed, contrary to what the Governor stated publicly in a two hour news conference".  Wildstein's attorney also wrote that the former Port Authority official, "contests the accuracy of various statements the Governor has made about him and can prove the inaccuracy of some".  Governor Christie responded in a written statement late Friday afternoon attesting, "Mr. Wildstein's lawyer confirms what the Governor has said all along - he had absolutely no prior knowledge of the lane closures before they happened and whatever Mr. Wildstein's motivations were for closing them to begin with".  The two investigations into the Bridge closures by the New Jersey Legislature and the F.B.I., are continuing and the unfolding of findings into what and when Governor Christie knew about the  September occurrence, are sure to remain intense, uncertaint as of now is whether there is concrete evidence to back up the allegation made yesterday, or if it is only immunity from prosecution shopping.  can potentially adversely cost him - his Chairmanship of the Republican Governors Association; his viability as a 2016 Presidential  Candidate; or even the continuation of his Governorship..............fr.tdp
