Bridgegate- seriously Mayor Doherty is a bag of contradictions

If he did not hear Constable threaten Dawn Zimmer since he claims to have heard everything (which differs from what he said before) and then he says Dawn Zimmer is not a LIAR, he is clearly talking out of both sides of his mouth.

Kornacki says he has breaking news after commercials

He has his eye on the Governor's office in 2018 and is cooperating with all "the right people".

Dohrety is not a serious candidate for governor. He endorsed Christie. He has no political base. His wife worked for Corzine and is now working for the union that pushed for the Pinelands Pipeline. His motivation is his conscience. That ,and I think Malaise is right, his secrets. He made some kind of deal for Sandy money and his endorsement. Belmar's boardwalk was re-built in record time. It's weighing on him.

It's the only thing they know to do. Like the lady that went nuts on Chris Hayes the other day.

but I see Mayor Dohrety is now being asked some questions. Remember what Chriswell said in the Crime Digest. Belmar. He should have been pressed on his endorsement of Christie. So should the mayor of Sea Bright. I am reasonably certain you'll find a Sandy Money/Endorsement connection in these two towns. I also think those two democratic mayors are feeling a little guilty about those endorsements and if pressed, will crack. I also think Mayor Dohrety may have communicated his endorsement negotiations via e-mail.

oh brother! Where do I start? Bramnick is an ass. He would like to be the next governor. Likes to play things both ways...its ok for the report to draw adverse inferences about Kelly but not about Samson? Dorhety needs to be questioned about his endorsement of Christie. He is a weasel. Honest people are dangerous to Christie. Enter Zimmer and Maraziti. Kornacki needs to get Dorhety and Dina Long from Sea Bright in the same room-or maybe talk to them separately first then get them in the same room. Would make for some interesting T.V. The U.S. Attorney needs to look at Mr. Dorhety's e-mails. We won't know what Joe Maraziti says to the U.S. Attorney for a while-unfortunately. While everyone's looking at the bridge other pieces are starting to fall into place.

the proverbial camel's back.

Christie knows that that BS report does not pass the smell test.

on the MSNBC web site. Joe Maraziti is a very credible person. He can provide exhibit A on the methods that Wolff & Samson uses to get their clients projects through, and it won't be pretty. Go back to Why Dawn Zimmer Is Telling The Truth. Joe Maraziti will be able to recount just how that concept operates in real life. Dawn Zimmer is not a liar. She's not stupid. She's not dishonest. And, she did not misinterpret what was going on. This is where Christie runs into real problems-and that weasel Dohrety isn't going to be able to provide him cover on this one.

Among the documents Zimmer provided to msnbc was an email from Maraziti telling the mayor and other city officials that he was “getting the full court press” from David Samson’s law firm, Wolff & Samson, on behalf of the developer, including emails with David Samson copied on them. At the time, Samson was the Christie-appointed Chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Christie announced Samson’s resignation at his news conference Friday, and the developer earlier cut ties with Samson’s law firm.
