Page 20 - Traffic Study News Today

Helplessness in gridlock. the other thing is the public safety angle and thats the one that ive measured a lot of response from readers is this idea that we were delaying or somehow hampering on a 9/11 anniversary, somehow hampering public safety efforts. and maybe nothing catastrophic happened as a result and i think were all happy about that, but, you know, even when you walk down that path of disrupting that in any way, i think that is where some of the serious questions get raised. >> on the...

At a morphed into a traffic study. heres one dispatcher trying to talk to an officer in the field who called 911 to ask what the holdup was. >> they have a new pattern, testing a new pattern of traffic from off of washington. down to one lane now. >> in other info news, happening right now a troef of white house papers from the clinton administration being released by the clinton library, mostly as a result of freedom of information act request and nbc news is furiously working to read through t...

One line. one new line. so a subtle change. the redacted version on the top and opportunity redacted version on the bottom. we get that new line, what did the general want? apparently referencing the form he attorney general david samson. here again, heres another one between bill barrone and david wildstein. this is right after bill gave his false testimony to the legislate you are with that testimony about a traffic study. right after that we get this new line today that we didnt used to have....

Bill baroni was leaving the port authority. and he said the resignation had nothing to do with the bridge controversy at all. this was nothing i had not planned already. he gave what turned out to be false testimony about the bridge to the new jersey state legislature. he testified that the lane closures were all the result of some traffic study, nothing at all to do with politics. the port authority clarified there was no legitimate traffic study. it was a cover story to obscure whatever was re...

Mind around. and one of those is what happened in the days after bill b baroni and david wildstein resigned. i know that bill baroni was one of your biggest political allies, he was one of the first people who came and supported you. yet when he resigned, why didnt you ask him what was going on? >> because my staff had already spoken to him about it, and he said it was a traffic study, as he testified before the legislature, as far as i know, thats still senator bar ownnys position. >> even as t...

Allies, he was one of the first people who came and supported you. yet when he resigned, why didnt you ask him what was going on? >> because my staff had already spoken to him about it, and he said it was a traffic study, as he testified before the legislature, as far as i know, thats still senator bar ownnys position. >> even as that was falling apart, did you not feel compelled to pick up the phone and say, bill, whats going on here? >> you look at everything through the prism of what you know...

Welcome back to "hardball." chris christies old empire continues to crumble. "the new york times" is reporting that paul nunziato, the head of the port authority police union who says the phony traffic study was his idea is now stepping aside from the unions day-to-day operations. thats according to a person briefed on the matter. in a statement nunziato has asked one of his deputies to take a more active role. in other words the story is true. so wheres christie? yesterday christie amped up his...

What youre saying is direct. i think its plausible that -- look, there are thousands of pages of documents that we have reviewed thus far. in the thousands of pages of documents other than the couple of things that have been leaked to the press, everything points to a very large population of people who actually honestly truly and believed that they were participating in traffic studies. and there was a multitude of documents and e-mail traffic and back and forth with a lot of different people w...

A different traffic study. >> yes. but thats not what he said. >> it doesnt change the fact that he mocked and ridiculed anybody who thought the baroni was talking about had any vin dick ty quality to it. and baroni said the one he was there to testify about was nunziatos idea. thats when he hung up the phone. >> after throwing ft. lee under the bus with his statement after that news conference in october and with what weve heard baroni say, now hes backing up the bus. >> so nunziato, its very h...

Authority. at least she worked for governor christie, past tense, because nicole crifo who investigators appear to believe they have been involved in a meeting about bill baronis false testimony, the same nicole crifo referenced by david wildstein while giving feedback to baroni on the traffic study, assured him saying i texted bridget and nicole and they were very happy. that same, we think, nicole crifo no longer works for chris christie because she just got a brand new job. she just got a bra...
