over Fort Lee during the traffic jam?
I was listening to the news and they say that the helicopter rides of Christie are being checked to see if he and Wildstein took a ride over the city during the closed lane dates! I wonder if that was meant by there is proof Christie knew?
That would be extremely dumb - so no, Chrisite, you may be a crook, but you are not smart enough to be president.
Bridgegate probers will look at Christie helicopter rides
The New Jersey legislative committee investigating the Bridgegate scandal will probe records of helicopter rides Gov. Chris Christie took to see if he flew near Fort Lee while lanes leading to the George Washington Bridge were closed, sources told The Post.
Lawmakers also want to know if the New Jersey governor took a ride with then-Port Authority exec David Wildstein, who allegedly orchestrated the lane closures on the order of a Christie aide.
The committee, which meets in Trenton on Monday, is interested in any conversations the governor may have had with Wildstein last Sept. 11 after pictures surfaced of the two together that day.
Two of three lanes leading to the bridge were closed from Sept. 9 through 13.
Sources in the governors office said that Christie took a ferry to Ground Zero from Jersey City on the 9/11 anniversary and then flew back to Trenton, but that Wildstein was not on board.

BTW...the FAA requires all flights to be logged in an aircraft's log book.
Need to hear MORE about this little gem!

(2,340 posts)...but there's nothing in the article that says he flew over the George Washington Bridge to return back to New Jersey that day. If he was going back to Trenton, it's to the south and most likely would not have gone north first to go near the GWB.
This article is misleading.

(267 posts)They are not saying he definitely flew in a helicopter and saw the traffic jam. They are saying they are investigating whether or not he did, because there's evidence he and Wildstein were together at least one day during the traffic jam and he took the helicopter back. This means it is a possibility and worth checking out. If it does prove true, he's as good as gone.
