Room to Wiggle

Now that one of the minions has decided to buck, Christie has to adjust his position.

The governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, admitted on Monday that he may have known about lane closures that snarled up traffic on the busiest bridge in the United States while they were in place, after earlier claiming he only found out about the issue when it was over.

[...]

[He] said it was possible he knew about the traffic problems as they were happening, simply failing to realise their significance. "There's traffic every day. That's not something that rises to the gubernatorial level." But he added: "Nobody has said I knew about this before it happened and I think that's the most important question."
