Charlie Rose: If David Wildstein or Bridget Kelly were to walk in today and see you, what would you say to them?
Governor Christie: Why? That’s all. Why?
Charlie Rose: Why did you do it? I have-
Governor Christie: Yeah. Why did you do it, because I don’t think I know they did it.
Charlie Rose: You think they know?
Governor Christie: They should. They did it. I didn’t.
Charlie Rose: And you believe he was the conceiver of the whole thing?
Governor Christie: I think he said he was. He said-
Charlie Rose: His idea?
Governor Christie: His idea. His idea, yeah.
Charlie Rose: Punishing the Mayor of Fort Lee because he didn’t endorse you?
Governor Christie: I guess. I don’t even know if I believe that. That’s why I’d ask why. I am not even sure I believe that. It makes no sense Charlie.

Who in their right mind would think that causing traffic in the most populous county in the state, 60 days before an election, would be something the guy on the ballot is something the guy on the ballot would want to have done for them? It’s ridiculous.
