New Jersey Politics

So, as you know, it turns out Chris Christie, despite claiming he knew nothing about the scam to close down the George Washington Bridge bridge in order to punish a Democratic mayor who wouldn't endorse Christie's bid for re-election, was of course involved, if only in a passive way - he knew and didn't stop it. David Wildstein, businessman and former Christie insider, testified recently that "Governor Christie seemed to be enjoying it."

It also seems his team, with I'm sure his knowledge, thought artifacts from the 9/11 attacks would make good bribes.

Fourteen months before Chris Christie was up for re-election as governor of New Jersey, officials in his administration were already discussing his 2016 bid for the White House.

And they saw the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and its resources — money, jobs, symbolic artifacts from the wreckage of the World Trade Center after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks — as assets that could be traded for endorsements and support in both campaigns.

“Just to be clear, at some point hundreds of flags flown over the WTC will find their way to VFW’s all through Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina,” David Wildstein, a self-described “enforcer” for Mr. Christie at the Port Authority, wrote in September 2012.
