A top aide to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie callously laughed it up when she appeared to order lane closures near the George Washington Bridge, sparking a traffic nightmare in Fort Lee, according to newly uncovered emails.
The Record of Bergen County published a series of electronic communications between Bridget Anne Kelly, one of three deputies on Christie's senior staff, and the Port Authority, with the governor's confidante seeming to carry out a political vendetta.
Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich didn't endorse Christie during the governor's recent re-election.
"Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee," Kelley wrote on Aug. 13 to David Wildstein, then one of Christie's top men at the Port Authority.
Wildstein replied: "Got it."
Lane closures leading to on-ramps of the GWB, sent rush-hour traffic flooding into Fort Lee the week of Sept. 9, leading to accusations that Christie was exacting political payback.
The governor has steadfastly denied those allegations but these emails bring the traffic stunt to Christie's doorstep.
Christie suddenly canceled a Sandy-related event he was slated to do Wednesday morning.
Wildstein, the agency's director of interstate capital projects, and Bill Baroni, deputy executive director and close Christie ally, both resigned in December amid the controversy.
Kelly and Wildstein appeared to take great joy in failing to return frantic messages from Mayor Sokolich.
When Kelly asked if any of Sokolich's messages were returned, Wildstein replied: "Radio silence."
"His name comes right under mayor Fulop."
That quip was in apparent reference to Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, who has also accused Christie's administrator of retaliation because he didn't endorse the incumbent.
