because that could reflect in some ways on what happened with the bridgegate issue, with former staffers, former aides being involved in this. now convicted of misusing public resources in this lane realignment which happened three years ago which caused days of snarling traffic. the issue from the clinton campaign is to seize upon this moment and urge donald trump to throw chris christie to the side. from what i m hearing from trump campaign sources, that is not going to happen. christy will continue in that role. he was not charged or a part of the trial. the shadow of chris christie was certainly very much a part of what happened in that federal trial which resulted in those convictions on all counts. chris christie has put out one formal statement saying that he is saddened by what happened, also talked about the fact he apologized to the people of new jersey back in january 2014, and i will in his words, set the record straight in the coming
it until the media reports after the incident had ended. and on page 127 it stated nor dead did we have red isable evidence that the governor had knowledge of the lane realignment while it was occurring. but on page of 88 it says, wildstein claimed he had mentioned the traffic study to the governor at a public event during the period of the lane realignment. if david wildstein claims he told governor christie about the closures while they were ecuring how can the report be do definitive otherwise especially where they are not being intervud. and this is one of many politicians behaving badly. in philadelphia, five public officials were caught on tape accepting cash and gifts from an
mirror so he could perhaps focus squarely on 2016. but folks aren t letting him do that. among the skeptics that called the in thinking he could get the political press to play along, christie just insulted a class of people that were formerly his greatest allies. for its self-serving presentation, and for missing two of christie s surrogates went on the sunday showings and tried to defend it. it is a vindication that the governor didn t know before hand. had he not done this investigation, he would have been accused of closing his eyes to it. he s got a guy doing this report that s not about to do a whitewash. that s not in his character. we haven t seen a shred of ed that the governor knew anything about this lane realignment before hand.
asking questions. and i copied the governor on that letter. and i copied mr. samson who resigned as soon as the report came out, the former chair of the port authority of new york and new jersey. mr. mastro depicts that in the report as senator weinberg wrote a letter to the port authority. completely omits the fact that very plainly on the letter says do you think he ever read that letter? well, he mentions it in the report. apparently it s part of the file. but these are the kinds of omissions even just calling what really happened as a lane realignment. that s how he refers to it. it s a choice of words that were meant to give an impression that i think is inappropriate and i would hope that we get a list of all 70 witnesses and all the transcripts and present that to our committee. let me ask you this.
