Was being sent would be responded to in that time, and they wouldnt have to go the full month, because four months of five days a week of traffic jam-up for four to some hours every single day would be almost ballistic in terms of what it would do to the drivers. >> yeah, this was an interesting new development. we had never really heard before how long the supposed traffic study was to last. it was aborted prematurely by pat foye, the executive director of the port authority who said we need to...

Regina egea later promoted to be governor christies chief of staff and somebody named nicole criffo, also serve with a is subpoena. she was his liaison to the port 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 bridge...

Placed police authority or bridge authority police officer, the one who drove david wildstein around that day knew exactly what was going on, knew it was some kind of bridge study or traffic study. a four-week jam-up of traffic of the busiest bridge anywhere and it was all a traffic study. what this adds is a plan to jam up the traffic and blame on it a month-long traffic study was known to the christie appointees, the union chief and the same port authority police officer chip michaels who told...

Clearly there were these lane closures that the e-mails that have been released suggest theyre done for other reasons other than a traffic study. time for traffic problems in ft. lee. the key player, bridget kelly, former deputy chief of staff to christie. bill step pan, david wildstein have all taken the fifth. wildstein has turned over documents. what the legislative committee wants is to see the e-mails from bridget kelly and stepien, theyre refused, invoking their fifth amendment rights. but...

Christie administration about their own knowledge of this going on during when the lane closures were happening and afterwards, but hes broadened that review. the most interesting document for me in there was the handwritten log from the ft. lee police chief where hes recording his observations during the lane closures and his calls and what he knew about it at the time. and the first recording in that log, he says that chip michaels, the lieutenant we referred to before had told him on the firs...

And the first recording in that log, he says that chip michaels, the lieutenant we referred to before had told him on the first day of the closures, they were part of a month long traffic study about traffic to the bridge. thats the first time from our understanding that theyve ever indicated a month long traffic study. thats really long. from there he goes on to record the traffic, it backed all the way up to cliffside park, which is a neighboring community to ft. lee. road rage was a response ...

It was all a joke to him then. >> right. so let me finish this line of thought. he has this innocent explanation where he believed it was a traffic study and that he had believed he had been duped and was a victim of his own staff. now, many people find that incredulo incredulous, because you have an investigative -- an investigation thats been started by the legislature in late september, early october. you have the head of the port authority saying the lane closure was illegal, and you have re...

Defending so-called traffic study. then calling it garbage, the whistleblower here on the director of the bridge commission said there is no traffic study. why do we have the police union so intricately involved in covering for the governor? >> it is a huge question we are trying to get an answer to. there has been a lot said about this police union being the groupt that enforced christie early on. as you mentioned keeping them in control of patrolling the world trade center and cited not lettin...
