Take Just ONE MORE LOOK At This Photo... "I Don't Even Know This Guy!"

Eyes on the cameraman, hand down by his side, not rising to shake the offered hand of Wildstein, etc...

And...

Mr. Baroni stands to the left of Mr. Christie, and Mr. Samson is to the right of Mr. Wildstein.

And...

Sadly, this clashes with Christie's strangely effusive insistence that he never talked to Wildstein anymore, and that he didn't even know the guy, really, and that he was much more popular in high school than whoever "Wildstein" was. Does it prove that he was informed of the bridge closure's bogosity as he walked to the ceremony? Not really -- for that we need a long-forgotten live mic to emerge.
