New Jersey lawmakers investigating the George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal held a former Port Authority executive in contempt today for refusing to answer questions about his role in the controversy.
After losing a bid to quash a subpoena, former Port Authority executive David Wildstein invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 20 times at a state assembly hearing, refusing to answer any questions related to the political payback scheme.
Providing only his name and the town where he lives, Wildstein remained silent about even the most innocuous of questions, including where he worked and whether a message with his name on it was an email or a text.
On the advice of counsel I assert my right to remain silent,

Hillary made her intentions to be the presidential candidate. Therefore, Christie must be politically neutralized.
Christie is such a stooge. The RATS waiting and threw him under the bus the DAY AFTER he signed their NJ Amnesty bill. The DAY AFTER! Good riddance to bad NJ rubbage.
I believe they said someone died because they couldn't get through.
Good riddance to Rino Christie!
Here we go.
...but Christie is a non partisan and reaches across the aisle to make nice with Democrats. Why are the Democrats being so mean to Christie. I thought they were friends. /s
I thought the Dem were pushing for Crisp Christy to be the Rep nominee. Someone they figured Hill could beat. I wonder if something happened and they (the Dems) had to scrap their plan. I have to wonder if Booker and Crisp Christie were working together so they both could get elected. Remember, Booker was going to run for Gov, then old Frank expired. Crisp Christie did not appoint a Rep to fulfill the term of the late Frank. Went for the special election.. Do you think if the Gov. of N.J. was a Dem, they would have taken that route?
lol.
He is probably stunned!
“Christie is such a stooge. The RATS waiting and threw him under the bus the DAY AFTER he signed their NJ Amnesty bill. The DAY AFTER!”
“Hillary made her intentions to be the presidential candidate. Therefore, Christie must be politically neutralized.”
Absolutely on the mark. Both of you.
The Democrats only liked Christie until the day AFTER he signed their NJ Amnesty Bill.
Now, it’s “under the bus” time!
I have a feeling the dismissal of the 2 Christie cronies today is only the tip of the iceberg.
Christie already tripped himself up in the presser. He said he didn’t know anything until yesterday [Wednesday] morning about 9:00 a.m. Yet, he had 2 sleepless nights because of the affair. That would indicate something made him restless Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

Reporters and opposition researchers are also probably filtering through emergency [police, fire, EMT] records to see what impact the traffic slowdown may have caused.
The 91 year old lady apparently died during the first day. Per other posts, the slowdown seemingly went on for 4 days. There could be other shoes that drop.
Media and opposition researchers have a juicy bone to chew on.
Christie and RATs. There is a difference?? Really?
A bus with monster truck tires
This might be an attempt to help Christie among conservatives and TP’ers... maybe they thought we would all rally in his defense.
lol
Maybe he got heartburn after eating a dozen donuts before bedtime.
If it had happened during a Dem administration it would have never been a story, of course.
Even fellow Rino’s are not rallying to his defense.
