TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Emails and text messages released Wednesday link a top aide to Gov. Chris Christie to traffic jams in a New Jersey town in September that appear to have been engineered as political payback against its mayor.

"Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee," Christie aide Bridget Anne Kelly wrote in August to David Wildstein, a top appointee of the governor's to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

They're all corrupt and use their power and Christie was just being a good Republican Democrat. But I guess the AP is voting early for Hillary.

Dirty political tricks in New Jersey? They really don’t expect us to believe that, do they?

Watch closely.....Coming from people who say that the assassination of our Ambassador in Benghazi, Libya is really no big deal for further investigation, will now turn these stupid highway lane closures into the Watergate Hearings.....

AP’s going to get into trouble. They’re not supposed to trash Christie until AFTER he wins the primaries.

What....Saint Chris was a bad boy?? I’m betting this originated in the Repub camp.

[DJ MacWoW]

I doubt it as he’s a Rino and right up their alley.

Christy;

Just another pol out to screw the public.

[Sacajaweau]

I think Repubs want to eliminate him as a candidate against a possible Hillary run. He turned off a lot of people with his soft and cuddly gig with Obama. The locals may love him....but in a National election??

The last thing in the world that we want is Chris Christie as the Republican Nominee for President. Let the Star Ledger do its thing on this one. Party on.

[DJ MacWoW]

Maybe but they usually run Rinos like McCain and Romney. Christie fits the bill.

Unfortunately this is an attack on the Republican Party, while ignoring that the IRS destroyed the Constitution. The President lied on Benghazi, and his Administration set the IRS, EPA, OSH and ABT on a woman who publicly announced she was politically opposed to him. This is far worse than traffic.
