There is still time for people to start singing. Sometimes an indictment loosens the vocal cords.

And then Bridgegate itself, and probably other stuff we don't know about yet.

Christie Crime Digest Volume I
Christie Crime Digest Volume II
Christie Crime Digest Volume III

One of these 200+ items leads to Samson. What leads to Samson leads to Christie. They did not cut a deal with Wildstein just to get Kelly and Baroni. Wildstein is not the most culpable. Plea Bargaining 101-you do not make a deal with the most culpable co-defendant. You can draw two conclusions. 1. Sufficient evidence (other than Wildstein's testimony) exists that Baroni and Kelly are more responsible than Wildstein. 2. The U.S. Attorney is going to squeeze Kelly and Baroni because they are not who he's after. Which I guess leads to conclusion #3-The U.S. Attorney has cause to believe that Kelly and Baroni have something to give up. And the 4th conclusion....well there is no 4th conclusion....amongst our conclusions are...



They are on their way up the chain. Kelly was sending up smoke signals she wanted a deal for the past year. Now she's pretty much just shouting "Hey Monty, make a deal with me!" She should have dressed up in a better costume, maybe she would have gotten picked.

Some would say I was being mean saying it but I just had that gut feeling and previous Repug scandals as experiences.
