6. I Really Am Curious Why....

it took until now for Ms. Kelly to speak out. Surely she had the opportunity to flip on the governor. Instead, she allowed David Wildstein to serve her up on a platter to the U.S. Attorney. Baroni as well. Did they expect something for their loyalty?

From the NJ.Com article....This sure sounds like she's placing culpability with Christie. This kind of definitive statement should have been made long ago. As depraved as her actions seemed at the time, I've come to feel sorry for Ms. Kelly. Christie had a guardian angel somewhere and she certainly didn't . I'm sure she has come to regret the "is it wrong that I'm smiling" remark several times over. At the end, she's a single mom with 4 kids and what has to be a crushing legal bill to Mike Critchley and very few job prospects.

“How did all these men all escape justice?” she asked. “Chris Christie was allowed, without rebuttal from anyone, to say out of one side of his mouth that I was a low level staffer. A woman only good enough to plan menus and invite people to events. And then say out of the other side that I was somehow powerful enough to shut down the George Washington Bridge.”

She said there was only one person powerful enough to approve that, and that was the governor himself.

Kelly said she has been silenced and intimidated, but would not remain quiet any longer.

...and yes, Pest Control.
