Who said it, Chris Christie or George Costanza?

I had no knowledge of it, and there’s been no evidence ever put forward that I did.

IANAL, but isn’t this “evidence”?

David Wildstein … testified that he and … Bill Baroni, talked with Christie on Sept. 11, 2013 about the effects of lane closures

Direct testimony about a first-person conversation - isn’t that evidence?

Sure, because that makes total sense.

Your henchmen, who were well aware that you wanted full control of every such political operation, suddenly decided not to tell you a thing.

Yeah, I can see that.

Why would Wildstein lie about the Governor knowing? Christie hasn’t been charged and Wildstein has already struck his plea deal. Will Baroni and Kelly testify?

And of course the standard Shultz impression

I’ll believe sworn testimony ahead of political gasbaggery every time. It would be very interesting to know if Chrissy Boy would say the same under penalty of perjury, or go the more likely route and take the 5th.

Great. Now let’s say that under oath, governor.

This is the moment during the 9/11 commemoration when Wildstein and Baroni were discussing traffic problems in Fort Lee with Governor Christie.

It’s only evidence in a reality-based world, not the one Christie wants everyone to believe in. Hopefully this ends his political career no matter what he wants.

I apologize. all intellectualism goes out the window with this piece of shit. I see red.

Christie: My style of governing is completely hands-off. I let my people do whatever they want without any oversight of any kind. Buck stops with them.

We can say this now with certainty if we ask ourselves one basic question about human nature: What good does it do a political operative to screw over the opposition if you can’t then tell your boss about it? Where is the joy for any lickspittle hack in the office hierarchy if he or she can’t pull off a dirty trick against a political adversary, then walk down the hall and tell the boss just how well you did on his behalf? What would be the point?

Will Baroni subpoena Christie to testify in rebuttal to this evidence? Short of getting on the stand himself, that is the only way to rebut it. Would be a lovely thing to see christie plead the fifth.
