18. This Is About So Much More....

than the GW Bridge. It's Hoboken and Sandy money and Samson. Also, just because there are no e-mails or texts (that we know about) doesn't mean there wasn't involvement of Christie's inner circle. There's an operational firewall around the governor designed to protect him from direct incrimination. Bridget Kelly was part of that. Forget the legislative committee. It's the U.S. Attorney that counts. Christie is playing a particular hand right now that involves blaming it all on Wildstein & Kelly. Very risky. Neither Kelly or Wildstein came up with this "prank" on their own. One slip up and the GWB gets to the Governor's office and becomes a part of the greater pattern of abusive behavior. Then he has an "honest services" problem with the feds.
