(30,099 posts)Is it me, or does he out do Nixon here, what a freaking schmuck..he is imo, essentially
blaming the people he serves...unreal:
"If what you're hoping for is for every decision that is made regarding billions of dollars is going to be made perfectly the first time, then your expectations are not where they need to be," he told Largey. -

Until now, I've had to keep myself satisfied with Rachel Maddow's excellent, unrelenting, obsessive coverage of the scandal on her nightly show, but now I can get mini-fixes throughout the day, thanks to The Christie Tracker, a website created by Matt Katz of WNYC. I'm so excited!
Here's my prediction of how this will play out (I posted it to Facebook on January 21):
Once he runs out of people to throw under the bus, Christie will make a deal with investigators to resign in exchange for an end to the investigations and subpoenas. In his resignation speech Christie will say he is innocent of all accusations but is stepping down to stop the bad Democrats from harming the great state of New Jersey with their witch hunt. After a couple of months he will get a job on Fox News.

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

(320,581 posts)1) You are depicted in a picture, evidently laughing, with David Wildstein, who carried out the lane closures. The picture is taken at a 9/11 ceremony on Sept. 11, 2013, the third day of the epic traffic jam that resulted from those lane closures. What were you two talking about?
2) Why would three people in your inner circle David Samson, Bill Stepien and Bridget Anne Kelly carry out lane closures that caused prolonged, dangerous traffic jams, without notifying you beforehand or afterward?
3) In February you told a radio audience that you instructed your chief of staff and chief counsel to look into the lane closures as soon as you heard about them on or about Oct. 1. Why hadnt you mentioned this in January, when you held a two-hour press conference solely about this issue?
4) You had lunch with Fort Lee Mayor Sokolich at Drumthwacket, he says, but you have claimed you don't recall ever meeting him. Do you now remember dining with him, or was he not telling the truth?
5) An extensive Sept. 13 email about the ramifications of the lane closures was sent from Port Authority Director Patrick Foye and forwarded to one of your top staffers, Regina Egea. Then what happened? Were you not made aware of the email at the time, and why not?
6) At a Dec. 2 press conference, you said you had talked to your mentor, Port Authority Chairman David Samson, about the lane closures. What prompted that conversation, when did it occur, and what information did you learn?
