If this report from NBC is accurate, as many as a dozen indictments could be issued in January in relation to the closure of the George Washington Bridge.
NBC 4 New York learned of the potential development in the investigation a day after a 136-page interim report by a joint legislative panel tasked with investigating the lane closures found no evidence Christie was involved in the scheme.
I understand that investigators have found no concrete proof that Governor Chris Christie himself was involved, but this looks very similar to the investigation of Governor Scott Walkers office in Wisconsin and the prosecution of some of his former staff. In both cases, persons very close to and surrounding the governor are indicted or implicated while the governor himself narrowly escapes. And in both cases, I find it extremely hard to believe that the head of state was not at all involved.
Just because there isnt enough evidence to indict Governor Christie, or Governor Walker, doesnt necessarily mean they arent guilty.

Over the weekend the stories were that the committee couldn't connect Christie to the scandal, as though he had nothing to do with it. But the REAL story is that their investigation was incomplete due to the ongoing Federal investigation, and it is less than "hinting" that Christie KNEW about the lane shutdowns at the time, he just chose to ignore them. In fact, the report mentions that one of his aides handed him an email about the closings as he was walking out for his much ballyhooed press conference.
Links to the report, and the crybaby "minority" report are in this article for anyone interested:

Christie is NOT going to come out of this very clean - my guess is that his Presidential aspirations are all but gone.

Expect the indicted to finally start singing like canaries.

(67,782 posts)....that the committee couldn't directly connect him to the shutdowns, but they also said their investigation was incomplete and would be completed after the Federal investigation.
As with Nixon, the real corruption and crimes were committed after the Watergate break-in and after the bridge lane closures.
The cover-ups are the BIG crimes!

(5,586 posts)Christie was the US Attorney for 6 years. He led the office now in charge of investigating him. He, most likely, personally knows nearly everyone that's doing the grunt work of this "investigation" into his possible conduct.
Yes, the new US Attorney was appointed by Obama. The people that work there know Christie well, and i'm going to assume they liked him because we haven't heard anything negative from his former co-workers there.

(67,782 posts)...the same way he treats the press and the public, he might as well get fitted for his orange jumpsuit now.
