(11,202 posts)on earth could he claim that he did not know what was going on with the bridge closure.
I know that in Oklahoma, if there is an event that is going to significantly impact traffic, the information is made public well before the event. This closure was a big deal, it impacted the economy, children, public safety, etc. Does he not have a clue about how traffic studies are conducted? It most certainly is not done by closing lanes of traffic. After the first day of lane closures he should have been asking what the hell is going on? And he didn't talk to the Port Authority? He didn't talk to NJ DOT? There is no way that an event like that should have legitimately occur without a lot of pre-planning. And it occur to him to question why this "study" was being conducted so close to 9-11? His original story was he was told it was a traffic study and his response is essentially -oh ok?
He is a former prosecutor and isn't interested enough to find out what was going on? He does not step up and start firing people until after emails are made public. And it took him a day before he actually fires people? And they are fired because they lied to him not because they abused their public office for political payback and possibly committed criminal offenses. And he now appoints his Chief of Staff to be the next NJ AG?
There are only 3 possibilities:
1. He is involved from Day 1
2. He was not involved initially but has been participating in a coverup from the time he learned what was going on (If that is so, did he not learn from Watergate that the coverup is always worse then the original crime?)
3. He is totally incompetent and should be impeached (if allowed under NJ law) or prosecuted.
