Report: Christie Had No Involvment In New Jersey Bridge Scandal

by JASmius

An internal investigation found that Governor Chris Christie was not involved in the closure of the George Washington bridge.




Amazing, it is, what "internal" investigations do and do not find.  Which is absolutely not to say that Randy Mastro is doing his part to orchestrate a cover-up of any Double-C role in "Bridgegate".  The reality, though, is that American politics, being as partisanized as it is, will, in this instance, render a public reaction that vindicates the Right and outrages the Left.  Whereas you can pretty much count on the state legislature's investigation producing the diametric opposite result by virtue of nothing more than the fact that it will be Democrats who are running it, and they have as much of a partisan interest in nailing the Big Man as he has of making a clean get-away - or simply clearing his name.

So Randy Mastro's team, hired by the Governor's office, "found no evidence" that Chris Christie ordered the George Washington Bridge closures last September.  How hard they looked is, of course, the $64 question.  A better indicator of his involvement, if any, will be if there is any such countervailing public announcement from the Donk-run side of this probe.  Such will only emerge from that quarter if Randy Mastro's findings are disputable.  Otherwise....well, I wouldn't say Governor Christie's 2016 presidential ambitions would be un-de-railed, but it'd be enough of a green light to go "full speed ahead" with a campaign bid.

Why else (besides avoiding death) would he have dropped a hundred pounds?
