The latest in the BridgeGate scandal is that Christina Renna, an assistant to
Christie's secretary, Bridgette Anne Kelly, sent texts saying that the governor was "flat out" lying when he said "he did not believe any senior member of his staff knew about the plot to block traffic to the George Washington Bridge"

That sound you just heard is the proverbial bomb dropping, smack dab in the middle of the room. Let the squirming begin.

Looks like the Feds presented their case and included the rotund governor of New Jersey, forever may he reign.

Prosecutors on Monday said New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was told about a politically motivated scheme that shut down the nation’s busiest bridge as it was happening, the first time officials have alleged in court that Christie knew about the plot as it was going on.

The assertion came during the “Bridgegate” trial of two of Christie’s former aides, whom prosecutors accuse of hatching a plan to create a mammoth traffic jam on the George Washington Bridge to retaliate against Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich for not supporting Christie’s reelection bid.

During opening statements Monday in Newark, federal prosecutors said one of the former aides, William E. Baroni Jr., the former deputy executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and a third Christie associate, David Wildstein, a former Port Authority executive, informed the governor about the traffic shutdowns during a Sept. 11 memorial service in 2013.

“The evidence will show that .?.?. they bragged about the fact that there were traffic problems in Fort Lee and that Mayor Sokolich was not getting his calls returned,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Vikas Khanna said.

Christie’s office did not comment on Monday’s proceedings. It pointed to a 2014 interview with a New Jersey radio station, when Christie said he didn’t know anything about the plans to close the lanes and first learned about it through media reports.

Christie, a former U.S. attorney, is a prominent backer of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The allegation that he knew despite years of public proclamations to the contrary could cause a headache for the Trump campaign, which routinely deploys Christie as a campaign surrogate and has tasked him with managing a transition if Trump wins in November.

Alan Zegas, Wildstein’s attorney, wrote in a 2014 letter that there is evidence “tying Mr. Christie to having knowledge of the lane closures” as they were closed. Zegas did not return a call seeking comment.

The trial comes just over three years after what first appeared to be a small-scale problem that people in New Jersey face every day: snarled traffic on one of the world’s busiest bridges

I really hope they take him down. He was and is a bully and it would be great if they get him. Career over would be great.

Funny thing is T, it's that Donald, way back in December (I think), stated that Christie knew about the bridge traffic problems caused by his staff.

I'll go one step further, I think he cooked up the idea. Christie is just another overbearing sleazebag bully who has no soul.
