Bridgegate scandal: Kelly, Baroni enter not guilty pleas in federal court
NEWARK Bridget Anne Kelly and Bill Baroni -- central figures in the Bridgegate scandal that has dogged the Christie Administration -- pleaded not guilty Monday to charges that they conspired to create traffic jams in Fort Lee on the first day of the 2013 school year.
Kelly, a former Christie deputy chief of staff and Baroni, a top-ranking executive at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, entered their pleas during a 10-minute morning appearance before U.S. District Court Judge Susan Wigenton.
When Baroni saw Kelly at the defense table he placed his hand over his heart and then clasped her hands. She smiled back at him.
Their attorneys entered the not guilty pleas on their behalf.
Outside the courthouse Kelly and Baroni both vowed to fight the charges against them.

Other than the heartwarming description of the reunion between Kelly & Baroni, I especially like Baroni calling Wildstein a liar. This from a guy who concocted bogus testimony for the NJ Legislative committee with Phil Kwon. That's rich.

my first thought when I saw skinny Wildstein was "the people behind Christie radiation poisoned him"
