It was a devastating, career-altering moment that Governor Christie described in visceral terms.

Shortly after finishing a morning workout with his trainer on Jan. 8, Christie suddenly became “sick to his stomach” by what he read on his iPad — The Record’s report of emails showing that deputy chief of staff Bridget Anne Kelly and David Wildstein, a top Christie appointee at the Port Authority, had set in motion the bizarre plan to close down two approach lanes to the George Washington Bridge.

The explosive e-mails and text messages, obtained and first reported by The Record, sparked a political firestorm that extended far beyond New Jersey and Fort Lee. For full coverage, click here.

As the weeks have passed into months and multiple investigations have taken hold, basic questions about the lane closings remain unanswered. But there is a growing body of public information — hundreds of emails and text messages, transcripts of hours of interviews and sworn testimony, and other documents — that offers illuminating details obscured until now by the sheer weight of the material.

But less than a month later, Christie would read the contents of an entirely different email on his iPad screen. It was Kelly’s Aug. 13 message to Wildstein — “Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee” — and Wildstein’s quick reply: “Got it.”

It turned his stomach — and his world — upside down.
