When hes with governor christie, and according to two aides to the governor, in the report, wildstein told him something. >> right. >> about a traffic study, a traffic issue, exactly what he told him we dont know. we know the governor doesnt remember the conversation. but we clearly have to hear david wildsteins account before anybody can close the book on this matter. >> what stood out to you? because i know that you found some of this report actually enlightening. a lot of people have dismisse...

>> i dont have the page in front of me. ive got 300 plus right here, but im almost -- i may have read it wrong but im almost sure i read -- wildstein had a conversation with michael, christies spokesman and in this conversation, well after the closures and he basically tried to implicate others, bill stepien, who is christies political director, since distances himself. >> since removed. >> and claiming he had a conversation about it. what i read wasnt specific about what the conversation was bu...

Apparently told by wildstein about the bridge plan but he, the governor still says he did not know about it and theres a lot of blame for bridget kelly. is that correct? >> well, what they are claiming is that wildstein told the governor spokesman that he had had a conversation with the governor about the traffic issues in ft. lee. it is not specific what they are saying wildstein told him but saying this would not have registered with the governor because he would have thought of it as some kin...

Blame here on kelly and saying, its suggesting it is possible that the end of her relationship with stepien was the impetus for her to do this. >> its interesting because this report on all sides delves into the personal and almost has a t tabloidie feel and the governor doesnt recall and even if he made comments it wouldnt register with the governor there were traffic issue. at one point he was welling up with tears at an event, and conducted himself as every turn as someone who has nothing to ...

Would not have considered another traffic issue at one of the bridges or tunnels to be memorable. it reads almost like a stream of consciousness from the governor himself. >> it is a claim the governor has no recollection. i think were seeing the outlines of a fascinating future showdown as this investigation moves forwards. between david wildstein and governor chris christie. did he tell him something in the middle of this? his lawyers are staying absolutely not. if it was anything, it was a pa...

Apparently told about the lane closures while they were happening but doesnt remember it. your reaction. >> what im most interested in is how they deal with it in this report. because the way ive read this thing is everything that is in this report maybe we will find out when the u.s. attorney weighs in on this, when the legislative committee weighs in on this. many will find out that everything in here is true. but the way the report is written it editorializes. it uses loaded language. its wit...

Thought because of the tremendous fear thats created here. >> what do you say to those who are calling this a political witch hunt? >> the committee thats been formed is bipartisan committee first of all. we first thought this was a traffic issue. it goes to the governors office. we have redevelopment thats supposed to occur in hoboken and ft. lee. thats a billion dollar project in ft. lee. we have mayors when they did not do as they were requested to do, their constituents were punished. and th...

When you read the transcripts, what you see is a kind of thuggery around the people who are somewhat close to governor christie, that is very disappointing. >> it is interesting -- >> hes been a terrific governor in many, many respects, and i think there are plenty of people rooting that hes not going to be tainted anymore by this. >> carl, to your point, it is interest when you read that bridget kelly e-mail to wilstein saying -- its almost in short hand code where shes saying oh, we need a tra...

Just dont go out and open themselves up completely. plus i know chris really well. hes a good friend. and in the last couple of weeks he wouldnt have acted the way he acted if he knew. even if he had some knowledge, an inkling of it, his remarks would have been different kinds of remarks. >> he was belittling reporters who brought it up. >> no way if you knew about it. >> attacking them for even suggesting. >> having run a very complicated administration, sometimes its impossible for people to b...
