Aaaaaand scene: David Wildstein, the Chris Christie pal who carried out the traffic shutdown known as Bridgegate, has been accused of criminal contempt by the New Jersey Assembly for refusing to answer questions. Logically, whatever misdoings he's aware of rose higher in his mind than the rap he's getting now.

Just after the New Jersey governor's damage-control presser, a Chris Christie classmate and Port Authority appointee who engineered a traffic jam in Ft. Lee last September pled the fifth in a state Assembly hearing. The official, David Wildstein, lost a fight to avoid testifying about "Bridgegate" earlier today.
Christie: Sorry, I'm Just Really Bad at Knowing What My People Do
Adam Weinstein · 01/09/14 12:06PMChris Christie wants your pity. He is just a poor humble ex-investigative attorney and strongarm governor who had no idea his closest advisors planned a four-day traffic jam for political retribution, because, geez, he asked everyone if they were involved, and they said no, and man, that makes him "sad."
Chris Christie Is Either a Vengeful Asshole or Entirely Incompetent
Adam Weinstein · 01/09/14 09:40AMThere's one thing missing from the recently unearthed emails that show Chris Christie's underlings conspired to jam up traffic for political revenge: Any messages from Christie himself. He claims he knew nothing of it. He claims, in other words, that he's not an evil string-puller, just an ineffective slackjaw.

J.K. Trotter · 12/16/13 11:07AMRemember Bianca Levin, Cory Booker’s Hollywood girlfriend? The Yale grad and entertainment lawyer, first tied to Booker by Page Six last month, turned up in an Open Public Records Act request filed by Gawker for the infamously private New Jersey senator’s correspondence. Neither Booker nor Levin have confirmed the relationship, so thus far we've only had the New York Post’s good word to go on. These records appear to confirm the fling.

Did Chris Christie Screw Commuters for Political Payback?
Adam Weinstein · 12/11/13 05:40PMLast September, traffic into New York on the George Washington Bridge got jacked up when a Chris Christie appointee ordered a shutdown of toll lanes. His office said it was for a traffic study. But it may actually have been to score some getback with a local mayor who angered New Jersey's cantankerous governor.

Taylor Berman · 11/26/13 08:09AMTwo weeks ago, the story of a gay waitress who said she was refused a tip by a New Jersey couple went viral. But now, as with so many other viral stories, the account appears too good—or, in this case, awful—to be true: The couple has come forward with their copy of the receipt and their credit card statement as proof that the whole thing was a hoax.

New Jersey's new online gambling laws are tight — so tight that some residents living near the border may not be allowed to ante up when the betting begins. Officials say the digital fencing, placed an "unspecified distance inland" to guard against New Yorkers and Pennsylvanians from partaking, will probably block some in-state users.
