43. The direct evidence is that there IS no direct evidence.

If "Governor Soprano" is telling truth, he would have fired everyone at least month sooner (not allowed them to resign), and to insure the integrity of the resulting investigation, he would have called in the Feds himself.

You think it's out of loyalty that he's standing beside David Samson and his chief counsel? Unlike Bridget, they report directly to him, so what they know Christie either also knew, or should have. You think it's just a coincidence that he tried to make his chief of staff the next inspector general, or that he just installed a new ethics commissioner? That way, the state-level investigation, at least, is automatically compromised. You think was a mechanical glitch that caused the air pollution monitoring equipment near the bridge shut down during the lane closures? If they hadn't, the readings probably would have set off an alarm that probably would have gotten the lanes reopened.

Christie not only knew, he masterminded it down to the last details. Nothing points directly to him because he arranged it that way -- and he's the only person with the power to arrange it that way.
