>> is there some surprise that he hasn't already taken action and fired those responsible? . well, it's a difficult situation over there. because the alternative to not knowing was knowing, which would have been another headache. but the headache he's dealing with is that governor christie did not know what was going on in his own office, apparently, and while he says he was misled by a member of his staff, the e-mail seemed to suggest that others, including people at the port authority, may have had knowledge of what was going on. the governor did tonight promise accountability for those responsible, so he says it's going to happen, piers. >> so john, thank you very much indeed. joining me now on the phone is the mayor of fort lee, mark sokolich. mr. mayor, what is your reaction to chris christie's statement late this afternoon? >> that he's appalled, i guess i wish it came a little earlier. it came four months into this debacle. it would have been a little bit more sincere, i believe if it happened within a day or two or
