As the fallout swirled last week over revelations that Gov. Christie's aides and appointees created a series of massive traffic jams in an apparent act of political punishment, the question remained: How close did the scandal get to Christie?

The Republican governor, who fired a top aide and dismissed a close political adviser Thursday after previously denying any involvement by his staff, has maintained he was unaware of any wrongdoing until Wednesday - when e-mails were disclosed suggesting political motives for gridlock in the Bergen County borough of Fort Lee. Two access lanes to the George Washington Bridge were closed starting Sept. 9 without warning to local officials.

A much larger cache of documents released Friday indicates several members of the governor's inner circle - including press secretary Michael Drewniak and newly appointed chief of staff Regina Egea - were involved as early as September in communications about the traffic.

Drewniak and Egea were sent e-mails the week of the lane closures by David Wildstein and Bill Baroni, two Christie appointees to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey who oversaw the lane closures.

How often do people at the top know what is going on beneath them? Just look at all of the Obama scandals that he didn't "know" about. A smart crook would never have anything written down, physically OR digitally, that could involve them.

feels like something bigger is going on

something really tells me this christie thing is some sort of sea-change rift between the establishment themselves.. it's like one side tells the other to get off hillary and stop with the benghazi stuff but the other faction wouldn't budge, so they came back with this

you can tell the way they emailed each other so casually about this that this was nothing new

he is "darned" if he does and "darned" if he doesn't. i did a euphemism. none of his excuses will fly. he's a governor with Potomac fever.
if he can't control his staff it looks like he is running either a total circus or a zoo. if he was in the loop as in early, he is excessively petty.
