Did Chris Christie ORCHESTRATE TRAFFIC JAMS On Bridge For POLITICAL REVENGE?

YOU KNOW NOTHING???........YA RIGHT!....BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....



This isn’t the first time critics have called New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie a bully. But now the man many consider a Republican presidential frontrunner is on the defensive, scrambling to distance himself from an erupting political scandal that threatens to tarnish his image well before the 2016 elections. E-mails that surfaced Wednesday suggest top Christie appointees orchestrated traffic jams on the George Washington Bridge as part of a political vendetta to punish a local mayor who wouldn’t support him at the polls. Lane closures around approaches to the country’s busiest bridge snarled traffic for days in September in Fort Lee, New Jersey — a problem the governor and his administration had originally blamed on a mishandled traffic study.


In response to the e-mail firestorm, Christie said Wednesday that he was misled by staff. He called the conduct outrageous and said he knew nothing about it. “This behavior is not representative of me or my administration in any way,” he said, “and people will be held responsible for their actions.” Even if he had nothing to do with the traffic snarls, the allegations could have serious consequences for Christie, analysts said. “There’s something about this that’s so petty and so vindictive and it feeds into this narrative that he’s a bully. … He’s going to have to find some way to defuse this to prove he doesn’t run a shop like that,” said CNN Senior Political Analyst David Gergen, a former adviser to several U.S. presidents. It’s a defining moment for Christie, CNN Chief National Correspondent John King said. And how he deals with the situation in the next two days — from whether he fires anyone to what he says — will be key.

“If he handles it decisively and then he sits down and calmly answers questions and doesn’t berate the reporters who ask them, then he has a chance to be a leader who dealt with a crisis and he moves on,” King said. “But if that perception starts to stick in, that’s not a presidential temperament. And that’s bad for him nationally in his perspective. It’s bad for him as he starts his new term in New Jersey. And it’s bad for him with the audience he needs to care about most politically long-term at the moment, and that’s the Republican base that he wants to make him their nominee.”

Does this mean Christie’s presidential ambitions are dashed?

1. If he did it he is too corrupt to be president

if his staff misled him he is too stupid and incompetent to be president.

For people like me who have little love for the M$M the question is how will the M$M try to save his ass?

2. Handing the presidency over to a vindictive & dangerous asshole

like Christie would be nothing short of brain dead insanity. This is what voters SHOULD EXPECT from a Christie presidency. Retaliation is the weapon of choice.

Always has been and always will be.

3. “..This new traffic pattern is causing....

..unnecessary delays for emergency services to arrive on scene for medical emergencies,” Favia said, citing one case in which paramedics rushing to aid an unconscious elderly woman suffering a heart attack were held up and had to meet the ambulance transporting the victim at the hospital instead of at the scene. She later died.

Details surrounding the woman’s death haven’t been released. But the situation could deepen Christie’s political woes, Gergen said.

“If a woman died here,” Gergen said, “he’s in deep, deep trouble....”
