I’m of the mind that he knew of it all along. I think Kelly & Wildstein got his OK after he discussed the politics of it with Samson; they implemented it, and he could disavow later that he did anything. They all thought they could get away with it.

I don’t trust Christie as far as I could throw him. In fact, I probably couldn’t even move him. I think he’s a vindictive SOB who won’t hesitate to stoop very, very low, regardless of whom it hurts, if it garners points for himself.

I’m still of the mind that Christie didn’t personally order anything, but he knew members of his staff were involved, either as it was going on or after the fact, and chose not to take action. It stretches credibility past the breaking point that he, a former federal prosecutor, was so incurious about what went on in Fort Lee for four straight days that he never dug deeper than asking his staff if they were involved. I think when he found out that it had been run out of his office, he panicked and began stonewalling in the hopes that the matter would just die away. Especially when it looked like it was isolated to the Port Authority, where Baroni and Wildstein had already resigned over what looked like a snafu concerning a “traffic study.”
