Did top Christie aide lie about texting boss?



Washington (CNN) -- A new report by the New Jersey legislative committee investigating Gov. Chris Christie's involvement in the Bridgegate controversy shows an inconsistency between a top aide's sworn testimony and phone records.

National Democrats quickly seized on the development as proof that Christie and his aides have stonewalled the investigation, even as the 136-page report failed to find any conclusive evidence tying Christie to the scandal. And a top New Jersey Democrat vowed the investigation would continue.

In July, Regina Egea, a senior Christie aide, told the legislative panel investigating Bridgegate that she texted Christie during a key committee hearing last year and did not recall getting a response from the governor.

But phone records show that it was Christie who texted Egea before the two traded a dozen messages during the hearing, according to a copy of the report obtained by CNN.

He's an illusive bastard. Not smart, tho. How hard is it to hide text messages? That's like covering your tracks 101.
