THE RECORD
It was a traffic jam apparently created for political retribution — not an allegation of bribery or kickbacks — that set off the chain of events that has enveloped Governor Christie’s administration in a scandal that has threatened to derail his presidential ambitions.
Almost from the beginning of the scandal, there has been speculation about what laws may have been broken or what charges could be brought as the circumstances did not mesh with statutes typically called upon for political corruption cases.
In addition, all of the key parties have denied or are staying quiet about involvement. Christie has repeatedly said he did not know about the order to close the Fort Lee approach lanes to the George Washington Bridge. And an internal report commissioned by Christie and expected to be released shortly reportedly clears the governor of any involvement.

I think violation of public trust qualifies.
The mainstream media, particularly MSNBC and Huffpo, ran the story to death, with every bit on perceived linkage they could connect to Christie. They really had no proof, but nontheless, they achieved their objective by the mere suggestion of guilt. Had CC not been seen as Hillary’s opponent, the story would barely have made a single news cycle.

Can I block a public road and cause a traffic jam?
yes and if you pick any of the main commuter arteries , a traffic jam is a daily occurrence so your success is virtually guaranteed
So james, then murder is OK too since it happens every day. But only if you have a R after your name.
