GOVERNOR CHRISTIE ATTEMPTING TO BRIDGE ROILING WATERS CAUSED BY THE POLITICAL MANIPULATION OF SOME OF HIS STAFF..............

Coming before the New Jersey-New York media news reporters for a Press Conference this morning that lasted 1 hour and forty eight minutes, Governor Chris Christie, Republican of New Jersey addressed the traffic jamming of the George Washington Bridge in September as a supposed political vendetta he attests he only learned about on Wednesday morning of this week, Governor  Christie was intensely contrite for his unawareness using words such as, "sad, heartbroken, blindsided". to describe the scandal unfolding in his Administration.  He announced the termination of four of his appointees, including his Deputy Chief of Staff Bridget Ann Kelley, who reportedly made the decision to set the traffic problems in motion to strike back at a Democratic Mayor who did not endorse Christie's November re-election as Governor.  Governor Christie asserted this morning. "I knew nothing about this", and "I have nothing to hide".  During the 108 minute press conference in which he answered all the questions put to him by the assembled reporters, Christie went all in to insist he is disconnected from what occurred.  If true, his Governorship and prospective 2016 Republican Presidential campaign most likely survives; if not by virtue of being implicated by his fired  former colleagues or evidence discovered his political career may well be dismantled.  The New Jersey Legislature is summoning the key parties to the matter to testify and the State Assembly is scheduled to release 1,000 pages of documentation from their investigation into what transpired to cause the four day Bridge controversy in September, that may have seriously contributed to the death of a 94 year old woman, whose ambulance delayed in the traffic died after finally arriving at a hospital..............fr.tdp
