Former Christie aide sentenced to 13 months in Bridgegate case

Kelly and her co-defendant, former Christie ally Bill Baroni, were since able to convince a federal appeals court to toss some of the convictions against them, opening the window for the shorter stint in prison.

before the U.S. Supreme Court. She admitted no guilt on Wednesday, still claiming she had been under the impression the lane closures were part of a “traffic study.” She acknowledged using words that were “inappropriate and clearly open to convenient interpretation,” and she apologized to local residents and others. But she admitted no crime.

Kelly sent Wildstein the infamous email stating that it was “time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee,” sparking the lane closures in September 2013. Critchley noted several times that Wildstein had testified Christie was aware of the traffic issues in Fort Lee as they occurred. And he harped on the idea that Kelly, despite having a senior role in the governor’s office, was not someone in a position of power. He quoted Christie in his book, “Let Me Finish,” calling Kelly a “functionary” and her position “temporary.”

As if Richard Nixon wasn't enough of a warning for these dolts. Nixon spent how much time in prison for covering up Watergate ? NONE. But many people under Nixon did time.

Con-sequences. Con-sequences.

She should have ratted on christie immediately. Maybe trump will give her a pardon. Better yet he can give her a job - she can do work release at the WH.

And that lardass doesn't face any consequences. 😡

What did Christie get?

Closed beach - no worries.

Our justice system is becoming a joke.

and the leader of the CRIME gets nothing..pathetic.

Bosses walk....ask Cohen.

How outrageous! Christy waddles off I tothe sunset 🌇 Scott-free!

Totally unfair that young mother, Bridget Anne Kelly, got prison time for doing the bidding of evil boss ChrisChristie--and he skates away clean (though everyone knows he's a mob boss thug).

LOYALTY OR STUPIDITY CALL IT WHAT YOU WILL. THE ONES WHO CARRY OUT THE ORDERS GO TO JAIL, WHILE THE ONE WHO GAVE THE ORDERS GO FREE DONALD J. TRUMP

She should've just pled guilty, done her time in jail, then go on Dancing with the Stars like a normal American

Love how the lackeys end up in jail, but the ‘boss’ walks away unscathed...ie Christie/Trump etc

so....Christie trial and sentencing coming up soon?...

Well, I don't wish upon any one to go jail but she did close the bridge & it is call Chris Christie gate scandal. She deserve this sentence

Wow.

And Christie still gets to gorge freely at Chick Fil A? No fair. Lock him up too.

The overcriminalization of everything continues.

Blowhard Christie free to make talk show rounds, while his aides go to jail. Justice!

McDonalds is always hiring. When you get out...give em a shot.

It's time for some traffic problems in Rikers.

GovChristie- you feel good about this?

Feds ask for 18-month sentence in Russian agent caseWASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. prosecutors say a Russian gun-rights activist who admitted being a secret agent for the Kremlin should serve an 18-month prison sentence. The request came in a sentencing memo filed late Friday in Maria Butina's case. Prosecutors say Butina was 'not a spy in the traditional sense' and wasn't formally trained as an intelligence officer. Instead, they say she tried to infiltrate conservative U.S. political groups as Donald Trump rose to power. 18 mos only? This is America...
