I responded to my friend Steven's conjecture as follows:
Steven:
If Chris Christie was totally clean in this affair, here is the way he would have responded. On the very first day of the shutdown, once he was aware that his constiuents were being inconvenienced (and potentially emperiled) this "take charge" rough-and-tough "get things done" Governor would have been on the phone raising hell with officials at the New York Port Authorty letting them know that if they didn't get the bridge reopened (as in "right now!") then their jobs would be on the line. He wouldn't have meekly accepted any guff about a "traffic study." He would have made it clear to the responsible officials that if they didn't get off their ass*s "today!" and get the bridge reopened, their careers (and cushy jobs) would cease immediately.
That's what a real (non-complicit) Governor would have done - he would have been raising holy hell - and he would have been raising hell in front of television cameras and reporters. Chris Christie did none of that - he sat on his fat butt for four days and said nothing while his constituents suffered. That's why I believe he's complicit in this. A real Governor would have been all over this on Day One.

This is all very true imo. Hits the sweet spot exactly.
Christie def knew about this, but he likely knows that there are no emails with his name on it and the rest will just be someone else's word against his which he can deny 'til the cows come home and he eats them.
iirc, Bridget had a yahoo.com account for her email which I thought was weird. Why not an official nj.gov account? So maybe Christie was emailing on her account while they both were knocking boots. Maybe the "Time for traffic problems" email was from Christie. It was early morning iirc. Yeah, her email was at 7:35am and Christie claims that he was done the other day with his morning workout and shower at 8:50. Diff days, sure, but that's probably when these 2 love birds are hooking up, early morning during "workouts".
Anyway, just saying that just because it's her nominal email account, does not mean she was the one actually clicking send (i hate the just because formulation btw, but no other way to say that imo).
And Bridget def works out:
