New Jersey’s republican
governor Chris Christine claims that he had no knowledge of the reason behind the
bridge closure late last September. Sources
say that the governor’s aides were the ones to order the bridge closure, and not
governor Christine. Evidently, the reason for closing the bridge was to punish
the democratic Forty Lee mayor, for not backing Christine’s reelection. New Jersey’s governor, Chris Christine, was
said to be a likely candidate for the upcoming 2016 presidential election.
In a later press
conference Thursday morning in Trenton, New Jersey the governor claimed
ignorance, stating multiple times that he was innocent and didn’t know about
the bridge closure, or at least the reason behind the lane closures. Governor Christine ended up firing his deputy
chief of staff for leading the lane closures in the desperate attempt to seek
revenge. However, whether or not he knew
of the reasons behind the closures, is he ultimately indirectly guilty for the
lane closures for not having any suspicions about the closures? That’s the main question that’s being asked
in the case, where authorities are trying to decide if the governor was
actually guilty or didn’t actually know.
The state’s legislative committee has yet to find any source of proof
that would prove Governor Christine’s guilt behind the scandal on the
bridge. However no evidence has been
found yet, the search is still on, and although it will be hard to find any
solid evidence that the governor Christine is guilty, they continue to search.
The case is still under
investigation because there was a hazard caused with the bridge being closed
which put many people’s safety in danger.
The bridge was closed for a total of 5 days before finally reopening. The bridge is the busiest bridge in all or
New Jersey. However evidence is yet to
be found to convict governor Christine guilty, there has ban a few emails that
were sent getting a few others in trouble.
Kelly sent an email to David Weildstein “time for some traffic problems
in Fort Lee”. Later on Weildstein
replied to the email saying “got it”.
These two are obviously guilty behind the scandal. However the two are in trouble, more players
are suspected and the hunt is still on.
