I hate Christie, but I am not sure Christie knew anything about this.....

29. He has a history of micromanaging his office.

Heck, nobody that worked for him could attend a meeting with a state legislator without clearing it by him first. He was really close to these people I just don't buy that they would do something like this without his knowledge. The straw that broke the camel's back for him was the Democrats refusal to allow the renewal to the state supreme court (for what would then be a life time appointment) of a woman he was good friends with and whose husband worked for Christie). She is the person he blew up about in the press. He refused to renominate her because he was not going to allow those democratic animals ruin her good name. This was right before the lanes on the bridge was shut down and traffic brought to a halt. He is a thug and he hired thugs.

Edit to add: Just look at his press conference. It was all about whining "They lied to me." No big remorse for delaying emergency services, delaying the police looking for a missing 4 year old, preventing children from getting to school, and the economic cost of people being late to work, missing meetings, etc. It is pretty obvious that what he is really upset about is the fact that they got caught.

How on earth could he be so clueless that the busiest bridge in the world is in gridlock for 4 days. If he is not personally involved with what happened then he is guilty of gross incompetence for not knowing what is going on in his own state and hiring thugs. Either way, he needs to be removed from office, either by recall (if allowed under NJ law) or criminal prosecution.
