prosecutors. you have her saying we will cooperate if we get a deal. from a legal standpoint, putting it in a report, does it accomplish anything for christie s side? i m a huge randy mastro fan. he s the real deal. look alt his resume and i can t think of anyone who is more compelling in the courtroom or outside of it than randy is. including this kind of information this this report, in my estimation was bush league. it s about credibility. if you want to tell about how bridgette kelly lied on a resume or had overdue library books, all of that is fair game. make no mistake, they are going to continue to ramp up their attacks on her creditability. to resort to something like her being emotional or she had a relationship with another player in this, from a legal standpoint and pr standpoint, make no
press. liz worked on then new jersey governor john correspon corzine committee. my main take away is that, as i said at the end there, it may be that christie, everything christie is saying about what he knew is true. but, this report was done to me in such a heavy handed way, beating you over the head with the conclusions it wanted you to reach. it ended up arousing more skepticism. that s the reason there was so much skepticism in the air. i was at the mastro news conference. where is the samson talk in here? one thing the governor probably doesn t appreciate or doesn t want to acknowledge and i don t know which one, he may be the only person with knowledge of the port authority of new york and new jersey who believes that
have done years ago. he declared victory and left, for las vegas in this case. right. that s, to me, that s the impression that he gave you and yeah, it s the old christie, the mojo christie. he s trying to put this behind him. i completely, completely disagree, respectfully disagree with all of you. i think he was bluffing and i think he was trying to bring back his old act to signal to people, hey, nothing to see here. i think everyone should look at that act skeptically. he acknowledged, too, he s calling this his exoneration and he wants to have it proceed. he acknowledged at one point this report would be tested and the u.s. attorney is looking into this. talk about the legislative committee. i keep saying the ball game is the u.s. attorney s office. we talk about how incomplete this investigation was, who they didn t get to talk to, what they didn t get to see. the u.s. attorney is not going to have a problem talking to who
truth. if she s telling the truth she will. we never had any conversations about this, ever. there s not going to be e-mails, phone records, tape recordings that come out that establish you knew about this. no. cause i didn t. but, one reason bridgette kelly might feel compelled to testify is how she is portrayed in the internal report released this week. kelly is one of the people reports authors did not talk to, it made conclusions about her mental state and it s possible role in the george washington bridge lane closures. the only four people to lose their jobs is kelly, baroni, goldstein and stepien and now david samson. the report says, quote, like the others involved in the lane realignment, events in kelly s
professional effect. personally, it is very taxing. let me play, christie was asked at the press conference about the state of mind of bridgette kelly and david wildstein. here is what he had to say. anything you ask me, which asks me to speculate on what david wildstein was thinking or what bridgette kelly was thinking, i m not going to answer because i don t know. i m not going to get into a speculation game. it will get me in a spot where i throw things up against the wall. i m not going to do it. he won t do it, but the report had no trouble speculating or getting inside bridgette kelly s head. i want to bring you in because we have the lawyer for bridgette kelly characterizing the way this report treated bridgette kelly to try to discredit her in advance of a deal with federal
