The New Jersey State Legislature just dumped hundreds of new documents gathered in the investigation of a Fort Lee traffic jam allegedly engineered by close aides of Chris Christie. Have fun.

Today Chris Christie gave a two hour press conference denying that he was a part of a diabolical political scheme to punish the mayor of Fort Lee by creating a traffic jam. After the press conference, he went to Fort Lee, where he caused another traffic jam.

Aaaaaand scene: David Wildstein, the Chris Christie pal who carried out the traffic shutdown known as Bridgegate, has been accused of criminal contempt by the New Jersey Assembly for refusing to answer questions. Logically, whatever misdoings he's aware of rose higher in his mind than the rap he's getting now.

Just after the New Jersey governor's damage-control presser, a Chris Christie classmate and Port Authority appointee who engineered a traffic jam in Ft. Lee last September pled the fifth in a state Assembly hearing. The official, David Wildstein, lost a fight to avoid testifying about "Bridgegate" earlier today.

Chris Christie wants your pity. He is just a poor humble ex-investigative attorney and strongarm governor who had no idea his closest advisors planned a four-day traffic jam for political retribution, because, geez, he asked everyone if they were involved, and they said no, and man, that makes him "sad."

In his ongoing damage-control news conference, New Jersey governor Chris Christie has said he has spent two sleepless nights* searching his soul about his staff's misbehavior in the bridge-closure scandal. Christie has also said he only learned about the misbehavior yesterday morning.

There's one thing missing from the recently unearthed emails that show Chris Christie's underlings conspired to jam up traffic for political revenge: Any messages from Christie himself. He claims he knew nothing of it. He claims, in other words, that he's not an evil string-puller, just an ineffective slackjaw.

For months, it had been rumored: Gov. Chris Christie's office ordered a traffic jam on the Jersey side of the George Washington Bridge to screw a mayor who had reneged on endorsing the governor. Today, a smoking gun emerged in the form of a Christie deputy's one-line email:

Last September, traffic into New York on the George Washington Bridge got jacked up when a Chris Christie appointee ordered a shutdown of toll lanes. His office said it was for a traffic study. But it may actually have been to score some getback with a local mayor who angered New Jersey's cantankerous governor.
