New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s longstanding claims that he had nothing to do with the controversial closure of bridge lanes a year ago appear to have been buoyed by a new report saying no evidence of a Christie connection has turned up.

NBC affiliate Channel 4 in New York quoted unnamed federal officials saying that after nine months of a federal investigation, they have found no evidence the Republican governor had any knowledge of, or directed, the lane closures on the George Washington Bridge in September of last year.

Christie, addressing the report on his “Ask the Governor” show on NJ 101.5 FM, said he wasn’t surprised by the report, because as he has said before, he had nothing to do with the closures, no matter what his political rivals say.

“Obviously we will wait to hear what whatever the authorities have to say, but this report comes as no shock to me,” said Christie, who is still thought to be mulling a 2016 presidential run.

Christie went on to say an internal report released last year exonerating the governor was “pretty much excoriated at the time” as being a whitewash -- but now “appears to be true.”

Justice Department officials would not confirm the latest report when reached by Fox News.

“The investigation is not over,” said Rebekah Carmichael, of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey, echoing what other federal officials stressed in the story.

According to the report, the investigation is ongoing and no final judgment has been made.

The now-infamous closures tied up rush hour traffic and led to massive gridlock on New Jersey streets from Monday, Sept. 9, through Friday, Sept. 13. Afterward, Christie’s deputy chief of staff Bridget Anne Kelly and election campaign manager Bill Stepien resigned after emails were published indicating they might have orchestrated the closures for political retribution.

Other state and Christie staff have also resigned since the “Bridge-gate” story broke in December.

While the motivations remain unclear, some critics suggest the tie-ups were designed to make trouble for Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich for not endorsing Christie’s 2013 gubernatorial campaign.

Christie has repeatedly denied any scheme went any further up the food chain, but the closures are currently under investigation by the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, the New Jersey State Legislature and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Oh, the liberals aren't going to like this news.

 

Most "news" they don't like or at least until they spin it their way.

 

Nothing is over for your boy yet... Thank God Christie's own investigation cleared him. Drip drip drip....

NBC Admits Error On Christie Bridgegate Report
The Huffington Post | By Andrew Hart
Posted: 09/19/2014



It looks as if Brian Williams got too far out over his skis with a report on New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's link to the "Bridgegate" scandal.

On Friday, NBC News admitted Nightly News anchor Brian Williams' report thatfederal charges for Christie had been ruled out in the "Bridgegate" investigation was incorrect.

In fact, the probe into the closing of lanes on the George Washington Bridge in September 2013 has not found Christie to have had prior knowledge of the closure "thus far." "The investigation is continuing,'' Rebekah Carmichael, a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Paul Fishman told the Asbury Park Press, who was first to catch NBC's correction.


NBC acknowledged the error on Friday. "An unscripted line of our Nightly News report was imprecise and implied that a final decision had been reached," an NBC spokesperson said of Williams' report.

On Thursday night, Williams said that "federal charges are now ruled out for Chris Christie in the affair that came to be known as Bridgegate." The headline on the segment's website was "'Bridgegate' Investigators Find No Link to Chris Christie."

Williams' segment was on a report by New York NBC affiliate reporter Jonathan Dienst on the federal probe of the Bridgegate scandal.

The U.S. Justice Department investigation into Gov. Chris Christie’s role in the George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal has thus far uncovered no evidence indicating that he either knew in advance or directed the closure of traffic lanes on the span, federal officials tell NBC 4 New York.



Dienst's report went on, "Federal officials caution that the investigation that began nine months ago is ongoing," and "When the final report is issued, Christie may still face complications from the scandal," making the inaccuracy of Williams' report clear.

The Washington Post's Erik Wemple noted the irony in Williams' false statement, as MSNBC -- NBC's sister news organization -- has been among the media sourcesapplying the most intense scrutiny to a possible Christie link to "Bridgegate."

Williams noted the inaccuracy on his Friday night broadcast.

We may have added confusion to some complex reporting last night — and it has to do with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and the multiple investigations underway into so-called “Bridgegate,” when Christie surrogates allegedly ordered politically motivated lane closures on the busiest bridge in the world. The state of play is this: The Feds have SO FAR found no grounds for charges — no involvement of the Governor himself. Both the federal and state investigations continue.



Several state and federal investigations are examining the closure of lanes on the highly-trafficked bridge that connects New Jersey and New York. Christie has denied any prior knowledge of the lane closures, and dismissed charges of political motivations behind the move that created a mess for residents, Christie's office, and his 2016 aspirations. The controversy prompted Christie to fire his top political adviser and deputy chief of staff.

We all know NBC lies, so which lie do you want to believe?

 

FOX News reported the news correctly.

 

Well, the investigation is finally concluded and Christie was found to have not been involved whatsoever. But, the Democrats knew that all along, didn't they? Of course they did! Their tactic all along was to smear and besmirch a potential Republican candidate for the presidency. I'll admit that the Democrats' lies and deceit have placed a seed of doubt in the minds of some people. But, it remains to be seen whether or not your lies were enough to damage Christie's reputation in the eyes of voters in 2016 should he decide to run. If the 2014 midterm elections were any indication, voters saw right through your cloud of lies and will do so again in 2016.

TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey lawmakers probing politically motivated traffic jams near the George Washington Bridge last year have found no evidence that Gov. Chris Christie was involved in the scheme.

Investigators found no conclusive evidence on whether Christie was aware of the closures last year, but they say that two former Christie aides acted with “perceived impunity” and with little regard for public safety when they ordered the lanes closed, according to a 136-page interim report by a joint legislative panel that was obtained by news organizations Thursday night.

A report commissioned by Christie previously cleared him of any wrongdoing and a lawyer for the governor said in a statement Thursday that the report corroborates that investigation.

“The Committee has finally acknowledged what we reported nine months ago — namely, that there is not a shred of evidence Governor Christie knew anything about the GWB lane realignment beforehand or that any current member of his staff was involved in that decision,” Christie attorney Randy Mastro said in a statement.
