Why Did Christie Shut Down The Bridge? Find Out Now!

The reason may never come to light because the powers that hide these things are working harder than those working to uncover them.  Criminals usually do stay ahead of the good guys, and this is no different. Christie did his due diligence way back when and chose the best route that his lawyer mind could conspire. Deniability.

If redacted information in emails does not gain the release that executive privilege demands, then the story probably remains too blurry to prosecute Christie. If the heat rises, he will always be able to resign and hide from the worst of this mess, so we may never get to the root of why.

So I will tell you why in advance.

Chris Christie is not only a presumed  presidential candidate,  Christie is running and began the process somewhere during his last campaign for governor.  In that campaign, Christie had to overcome some sizable hurdles.  First he had to prove that he was not too fat to be trusted from a health perspective.   He had to prove that he has the gravitas that is demanded from any prospective presidential candidate.

The last and greatest challenge for Chris Christie in preparation for a run at the presidency was the challenge of proving that he could deal with the most toxic and polarized congress that we have seen in America in a long time.  To achieve this goal, Christie needed to be more than a bully.  In order to create the illusion of bi-partisan influence, Christie needed coercion.

When Christie took to national airwaves during the past election season and declared that he is the bi-partisan champion of the century, he did so realizing that he had already put in motion the engine of forced collaboration.  Christie probably never got involved with the planning of the Fort Lee retaliation plan. He didn't have to.  Anyone who worked for Christie the great collaborator already understood his nature and his agenda.

New Jersey opponents of Christie are finally coming to the light to say that they all felt that there was a risk involved with opposing Christie and everyone understood it.  Even Christie himself admits to playing political hardball, but he denies being a bully at the same time.

Christie might be right.  Bullying is bad, but it is also something we typically use to refer to that stupid kid on the school playground.  In reality, we all understand bullying because we all take to the role as it suits us.  Wives bully husbands, fathers bully children, rude people bully timid retail workers.  If we are honest, we can all remember that time when we decided to be the bully we dislike.

What Christie did has crossed the line of bullying and has risen to the status of coercion.  Federal prosecutors have tried for years to stick mafia bosses with the crime of coercion with limited success.  I expect a similar result in this case.
