Page 83 - Lets Face It News Today

Over the weekend, that nobody has said that i knew anything about this before it happened. and i think that is the most important question. secondly, that when this first became an issue for me -- because lets face it, there is traffic every day at the george washington bridge, lincoln tunnel. i hear reports on the radio. we all hear about them. that is not something that rises to the gubernatorial level. when this first became clear to me that this was a potential issue was when the e-mail was ...

Person he put on the bridge authority, everybody is taking the fifth amendment. everybody now formally thinks theyre in trouble. everybody is afraid of prosecution, perhaps afraid of prison. its likely. and yet he says i didnt know anything about this thing. its now almost at the edge of looks like a criminal offense here. and my question to you, clarence, is he credible? and thats the problem. he didnt know anything about it, but everybody else was involved and all around him were involved in i...

At this point? >> well, listen. lets make one thing clear right off the bat which i think is the most important issue. and most important issue is, did i know anything about the plan to close these lanes? did i authorize it? did i know about it? did i approve it or have knowledge of it beforehand? the answer is still no. in fact, no one has ever accused me of that. that is the thing people of new jersey care about the most. now, when did i first know about the lane closures? the fact is that the...

Few weeks, i had a meeting with the governors chief of staff, kevin odowd. it was a meeting about other legislative matters. and at the end of the meeting when we concluded the legislative business, i dont even know why i did it or why i said it, but i stood up and as i was leaving the office, i said to him, please tell the governor i am not backing off on this issue, and i plan to continue pressing for answers. that was november 18th. and then of course on november 25th is when bill baroni came...

There, it wouldnt have been meaningful to me because i didnt know that there was any problem up there. you know, because i didnt know that we had actually closed lanes up there before that. so my dispute is twofold. first, to make clear to everybody in the midst of, you know, all the things that were reported over the weekend that nobody has said that i knew anything about this before it happened. and i think thats the most important question. secondly, that when this first became an issue for m...

He was known as a straight-talking, straight-shooting guy. now his veracity city, his truthfulness -- >> and a hands-on guy. >> now its been questioned. >> here he was moments ago. lets listen to the governor in his latest iteration of what he says happened. >> the most important issue is did i know anything about the plan to close these lanes? did i authorize it? did i know about it? did i approve it? did i have any knowledge of it beforehand? and the answer is still the same. its unequivocally...

Didnt get their towns blown up for a week. if every one of those non-endorsements from democratic non-endorsers of chris christie all over the state had warranted the kind of revenge attack that was unleashed on ft. lee for a solid week back in september, you know what, the whole state of new jersey would still be a smoking hulk of wreckage today. maybe it wasnt about the endorsement. maybe it was something else special about ft. lee. this is the e-mail from the governors deputy chief of staff w...

I took medicine but i still have symptoms. [ sneeze ] [ male announcer ] truth is not all flu products treat all your symptoms. what? [ male announcer ] alka-seltzer plus severe cold and flu speeds relief to these eight symptoms. [ breath of relief ] thanks. [ male announcer ] youre welcome. ready? go. i think we both are clean freaks. i used to scrub the floor on my knees. [ daughter ] ive mastered the art of foot cleaning. oh, boy. oh, boy. oh, boy. [ carmel ] that drives me nuts. it gives me ...

Solid week back in september, you know what, the whole state of new jersey would still be a smoking hulk of wreckage today. maybe it wasnt about the endorsement. maybe it was something else special about ft. lee. this is the e-mail from the governors deputy chief of staff who the governor just announced today that he has fired. the e-mail says, look on august 13th, 2013 at 7:34 a.m., bridget anne kelly wrote, "time for some traffic problems in ft. lee." why anyone? why then? this appears to be t...

I dont remember ever meeting mayor sokolich in that context. i have to tell you, until i saw his picture last night on television, i wouldnt have been able to pick him out of a lineup. so part of this is the reason that the retribution never came into my head is because i never even knew that we were pursuing his endorsement. and no one ever came to me to get me to try to pursue the endorsement in any way. i never saw it as a serious effort. >> fascinating. governor christie saying today he did ...
