Bridgegate: nouvelles révélations embarrassantes pour Chritie

Après avoir essuyé une sérieuse baisse dans les sondages, Chris Christie pourrait bien voir ses ambitions présidentielles détruites après des révélations de David Wildstein (un ancien allié politique) qui prétend maintenant que Christie était informé de la magouille derrière la fermeture de voies de circulation sur le pont George Washington. Wilstein, qui oeuvrait pour le Port Authority, affirme détenir des preuves qui prouveraient que Christie mentait lors de la conférence de presse pendant laquelle il démentait toute implication. "

At first blush, the new allegations appeared to push the scandal into a far more serious direction for Christie, threatening to expose his seemingly forthright news conference as something much less than that. But these claims – produced on Friday without any supporting evidence from someone trying to avoid prosecution himself – also could unravel.

 That possibility did not stop the Washington spin machine from cranking into high gear Friday evening.

“I think it’s a killer, really,” said John Podesta, a veteran Clinton ally and now a special adviser to President Barack Obama, in surprise remarks to Bloomberg TV. “If that was true, I don’t think there’s any coming back.”

Wildstein’s allegation, presented in a letter by his attorney, raised tantalizing new questions about what Christie knew about the four-day traffic snarl that, emails among aides and allies suggest, was orchestrated as payback against a Democratic mayor who declined to endorse the governor’s reelection.
