So we as taxpayers are paying $1 million for a review by Gov. Chris Christie's own legal team that, surprise, finds he did nothing wrong in the GW Bridge scandal.
Read HERE to believe it.
With his office suddenly engulfed in scandal over lane closings at
the George Washington Bridge, Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey two
months ago summoned a pair of top defense lawyers from an elite law firm
to the State House and asked them to undertake an extensive review of
what had gone wrong.
Now, after 70 interviews and at least $1
million in legal fees to be paid by state taxpayers, that review is set
to be released, and according to people with firsthand knowledge of the
inquiry, it has uncovered no evidence that the governor was involved in
the plotting or directing of the lane closings.
The review is the
first of multiple inquiries into a scandal that has jeopardized Mr.
Christie’s political future. It will be viewed with intense skepticism,
not only because it was commissioned by the governor but also because
the firm conducting it, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, has close ties to
the Christie administration and the firm’s lawyers were unable to
interview three principal players in the shutdowns, including Bridget
Anne Kelly, the governor’s former deputy chief of staff.
