told by david wildstein 100% certain there was e-mails to link kelly. mike duhaime is a smart and talented political operative. what we re asked to believe is part of the documents that make up the master report. mike duhaime for the first time committed this act of plolitica malpractice. somehow he doesn t communicate the information to the governor. the governor made it clear that he had no knowledge, his staff had no knowledge, the fact of the the matter is we have someone very significant in his inner circle who had multiple conversations that unquestionably said that kelly and wildstein knew something about what was going on at the lane closures. it strikes me, too, if you look through this report there are all sorts of instances like this.
lane closures. stepien called duhaime and asked if kelly had knowledge. he asked if wildstein had proof of knowledge beforehand. stepien told him the governor would be holding a press conference. he warned to confirm what duhaime was told by wildstein to make sure he heard it krektly. the memo says duhaime placed a call to wildstein to verify that wildstein was certain that kelly had knowledge beforehand. wildstein replied that he was 100% certain that kelly had prior knowledge and there were e-mails to further confirm kelly knew beforehand. so think about this. the memo is telling us that christie s top political adviser, a man who was constantly communicating with christie and regularly in contact that duhaime was told by
