And does not with stand scrutiny when all of the facts are examined. >> then there was the master report that is the internal investigation that was conducted at taxpayer expense that the law firm had retained to represent itself. when that report was released at the end of march, christie declared himself exonerated. >> the fact of the matter is i had nothing to do with this and as i said from the beginning of this report has supported exactly what i said. >> that master report came down hard o...

Personally disappointed when he didnt get the endorsement, but is a mayor of the town of about 35,000 people, in the grand scheme of things, this didnt register with the top people around chris christie. the implication being that bridget kelly was essentially kind of freelancing. thats the implication of the master report, the so-called internal commission and what it leads to to me, if you want to give them the benefit of the doubt on that, this is something bridget kelly and david wildstein c...

Saying, too, at any point in the testimony yesterday was, look, one of his jobs was to get an endorsement of sokolich and he was saying basically when he was personally disappointed when he didnt get the endorsement, but is a mayor of the town of about 35,000 people, in the grand scheme of things, this didnt register with the top people around chris christie. the implication being that bridget kelly was essentially kind of freelancing. thats the implication of the master report, the so-called in...

Committee, but i am confident that they will appear, but i cant say that as a fact at this time. >> so, you know, in these four names seem from reading the master report, reading the memos and all the other accounts of this, take you in sort of four different directions. drewniak, the spokesman, is sort of interesting to me because you have, as we said in that intro, that exchange where he did tell the governor wildstein had told him that he, wildstein, had contact with the governor and told him...

Its a report that is trying to exonerate the governor. its a report paid for by new jersey taxpayers and did not include interviews with the principle players in the scandal swirling around the christie administration, which probably helps with the reaction the report is generating from the media. a majority of new jersey voters see the master report as a whitewash, and not the definitive independent exoneration that christie is trumpeting it as. they were also skeptical of the democratic lawmak...

A couple of facts that predate the governors legal teams report remain important here. one, these people involved in the bridge closures since september are christie people. they appear to represent the kind of people he feels comfortable with. they were at the time of this travesty, after all, his governmental agents there to carry out his political purposes. what does this say about him to be out there now calling these people of his stupid? dishonest. whatever. second, there is the declaratio...

That entire format led to headlines like this. chris christies lawyers clear governor. and today, chris christie came out vigorously defending that report. he was eager to push back against the inevitable media scrutiny you get when lawyers hired by your office say youre innocent and thats the end of the story. and even in this imagined victory lap, however, christie had to leave another key ally on the side of the road today. he announced the resignation of probably the most powerful and senior...

Over every rock that they were able to get to in order to get to the bottom of what hatched. >> the report was exhaustive except it failed to talk to many of the key players in the scandal, including david samson, the chairman of the agency overseeing the george washington bridge. at todays press conference, the governor said samson was resigning. >> i received a call from david samson who informed me that after reviewing the master report, that he completely supports the recommendations laid ou...
