In what will come as no surprise to anyone here, Chris Christie seems to have been indulging in a little projection at last nights Republican debate.
The revelations today couldn’t have been more ironic considering he said last night that he was uniquely qualified to prosecute Hillary Clinton. Christie’s Team of lawyers in the Bridgegate case have been accused of hiding thousands of documents, including emails, relating to the Bridgegate scandal.
There are a few interesting snippets in the linked article, not least that David Wildstein took with him on the day he was fired Bill Baroni's hard drive from the Port Authority office, which must have been of some significance because he left his family photo’s behind seemingly without a second thought.
It has been confirmed that David Wildstein has been co-operating with the authorities from early on in the investigation.
Court papers also show that Christie testified before a federal grand jury re Bridgegate, something not previously known.
Bridget Kelly of “is it wrong that I’m smiling” fame, is alleging Christie’s lawyers tried to destroy notes of interviews.
I’ve picked out a few paragraphs from the article but Bridgegate followers will enjoy the full article…
Christie's legal team is inappropriately hiding thousands of documents related to the Bridgegate scandal, the two defense lawyers argued in briefs filed late Tuesday. Among the hidden documents, the lawyers say, are emails to and from the governor's personal and work email accounts and a calendar entry from the week when an order was delivered to close lanes at the George Washington Bridge in 2013.
The revelations come as Christie regularly pokes at Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for using a private email account. "The real story is this -- I believe in my heart -- that Hillary Clinton doesn't want us to know what she's doing," Christie told a New Hampshire town hall over the summer. "She believes we don't have a right to know. When I'm president of the United States, you have a right to know what your president is doing."
Irony just died of shame and opted for cremation.
*A lawyer for Phil Kwon, a Port Authority lawyer and one-time Christie nominee to the state Supreme Court, has told federal authorities that he has information related to Bridgegate, according to Critchley.
That last paragraph is fascinating.
