Bridgegate report: Hoboken mayor's allegations of impropriety "demonstrably false"
Is Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer lying? The latest Bridgegate report says "yes."
An internal investigation conducted by lawyers working for Gov. Chris Christie's office found no evidence to support claims his top people tried to strong-arm Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer into approving a development project, according to a report released this morning.
The investigators conclude that Zimmer's allegations that the administration withheld Hurricane Sandy aid in an attempt to aid a private developer were unsubstantiated, "demonstrably false" and "unbelievable."
"They are contradicted by contemporaneous documents, other witnesses' accounts, and her own prior statements," Randy Mastro, a lawyer with Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, writes in the 360-page report. "In sum, the subjective perceptions she may have do not match objective reality, as reflected in the hard evidence uncovered during our investigation."
I love the Star-Ledger's spin — "lawyers working for Gov. Chris Christie's office" — which of course means they're like totally biased and not to be believed, wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Except, they're not "working" for Chris Christie, they're working for the taxpayers of New Jersey. We're paying their fee.
And the reality is, no matter how hard the Democrats and their media sycophants try, they can't pin this ridiculous traffic jam "conspiracy" on our Governor.
The whole thing is a tempest in a toll booth. Every single day there is a government-imposed traffic jam somewhere in New Jersey. Look at the mess on Route 35, or the traffic nightmare that is the neverending Route 3 bridge reconstruction. Nobody bats an eye when people are inconvenienced for months and years at a time. "That's just the way it is."
But Dawn Zimmer gets her panties in a knot because she didn't get 86 gazillion dollars for Hurricane Sandy relief and suddenly she's an MSDNC media star, while Chris Christie has to prove he didn't whisper "Machiavelli" in her ear?
Enough already. Bridgegate is over. We return you now to your regularly
scheduled Obama scandal, already in progress…
