Chris Christie the governor of New Jersey is allegedly behind the shut down of the George Washington Bridge. The bridge is the busiest bridge in the world, and it leads from New York City to Fort Lee, NJ. The lanes were allegedly closed by some of Christie's aid and staffers because of the Mayor of Fort Lee's refusal to endorse Chris Christie. In the begging the closer was said to be part of a traffic study, but with this new information Christie, who could be a contender for the 2016, could be impeached. The lane closures caused emergency vehicles, school buses, and commuters on the bridges for hours. In one case a 91 year old woman died of cardiac arrest in a hospital, and people are saying it could have been avoided in the ambulance was not held up on the bridge and could have arrived faster. Politicians said that using the bridge as a political vendetta is a crime. Also having people use their office position to have a political game is all a crime and if it gets tied back to Christie it is an impeachable thing.
