I'm trying to understand this one. Emails have come out showing that Christie's deputy chief of staff was involved in causing lane closures last year for almost a week, which resulted in massive traffic jams -- and which
led to the death of a lady because paramedics were unable to reach her in time. This was done out of spite and in retaliation because the Ft. Lee Mayor did not endorse Christie's re-election bid.

"Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee," wrote Mr. Christie's deputy chief of staff, Bridget Anne Kelly, to the Christie ally at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on Aug. 13. "Got it," replied David Wildstein, who has known Mr. Christie since high school.

Christie is holding a presser today at 11AM EST to talk about the scandal and what he's going to do to handle it.
I have yet to read that his deputy chief of staff, Bridget Anne Kelly, has resigned or been fired. IMO, she has to be fired immediately. The email clearly shows she was directly responsible for the closures.
Not only this, but she and the others involved are responsible for contributing to the death of the lady above. I hope the family is able to file a massive lawsuit against these individuals.
Christie, of course, has denied any involvement (a la his buddy obama). What's interesting about that, however, is when it was going on he claimed it was a badly-timed traffic study. So he had the opportunity, and I cannot imagine he didn't ask what was going on and why the lanes were blocked. His inner circle, like obama's, was heavily involved.
One thing is clear: I do not want Chris Christie anywhere near the Oval Office. I hope this scandal derails any chance he had of winning the Republican nomination.
