[elleng]

[delisen]

1. She leaned in to Patriarchy, and she & her children pay the price.

2. Hard to Feel Sympathy for Bridget. She Should Have Given Up the Christie Dirt Long Ago.

[rzemanfl]

10. I really need to wash socks tonight. n/t

[malaise]

3. She's pissed because she's going to prison

One more ReTHUG goon - Christie should be in prison. When will these tools realize they are the ones who end up in prison.

[Xipe Totec]

9. She's pissed because she's going to prison alone. nt

[malaise]

15. Baroni went to prison as well

but Christie and the rest of them should be there - you know Christie was the warm up act for the vile MAGAcretin.

[manor321]

4. This is kind of an interesting twist

No, I'm not saying I have great sympathy for her, but it is disgusting the Christie isn't going to jail (AND he shows up for book tours on MSNBC!).

Hopefully she has some hard evidence against that now judge.

[empedocles]

5. Interesting that Rachel is so interested in the Kelley/Bridgegate case.

[malaise]

6. She covered it extensively

Lots of persons involved are in the Con's administration.

Bridget Kelley sure plays the victim well - she was part of the goon squad.

[Bluepinky]

8. I don't like how she connected her situation to the "me too" movement.

[Xipe Totec]

11. Why? nt

[Bluepinky]

21. Well, she was a willing participant in the whole thing,

she’s guilty, and it seems disingenuous to blame her situation on her gender. Her being female doesn’t make her less of a scumbag than the men involved. They should all be held accountable.

[malaise]

19. They love to grab on to progressive groups and

cultural moments. Every time I hear them I think of when Bush et al tried to coopt Imagine

[ooky]

18. Exactly. She just got burnt.

She wasn't crying any tears while she was playing "Republican" and enjoyed her inclusion in the dirty game of "punishing democrats" with the GOP boys - until she became their scapegoat for the crime. She deserves prison. That's the risk of choosing to dance with the devil.

[malaise]

20. Precisely

No tears here - they didn't just create chaos - they caused deaths

[Bluepinky]

7. She said there's a connection between some of the Bridgegate Christie people

and the Trump administration. A couple of the people involved in Bridgegate have been hired by Trump administration.

[empedocles]

14. Of course. The certified corrupt Christie people who weren't 'captured'

have a perfect resume for trump.

[Chin music]

26. May be a prelude to the Buttface...s'cuse, BUTINA sentencing tomorrow.

Or a signal to the powers that be (the judge in the case) that, WE ARE WATCHING YOU??
Woman better not get to go back to mother russia.

12. Who and what are you posting about?

[elleng]

16. The former Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie.

Kelly, a New Jersey native, grew up in Ramsey and graduated from Immaculate Heart Academy in 1990.[1] She graduated from Mount St. Mary's University in 1994 with a bachelor of arts degree in political science.[2]

She began her government career by working as a legislative aide to Assemblyman David C. Russo, later becoming Russo's chief of staff.[2][3][4] In 2010, Kelly became Director of Legislative Relations under Governor Chris Christie. In April 2013, Christie appointed her to be his Deputy Chief of Staff.

On November 4, 2016, Kelly was convicted for her involvement in the "Bridgegate" affair.[5][6] She was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment on March 29, 2017.

22. I know who she is

Many of us do not have access to cable news. A little bit of information would be helpful.

[elleng]

23. She appeared on Rachel's show tonight,

and having recently been sentenced to 18 months in prison, she is apparently willing to speak out in public against the christie administration.

You asked 'who and what are you posting about'

[montanacowboy]

13. Give me a fucking break

She had years to come forward with info on Christie and did not do it. She counted on him saving her. She sacrificed her kids for him and now she is whining and blaming everyone but herself.
Yes I would love to see the fat ass Christie in jail for life, but she sure screwed herself. Now she wants to play the victim, oh poor me, I was a woman alone in a sea of men. No Bridget you did this to yourself. You "gleefully" sent emails about the mess that poor Ft. Lee was in. Go to jail and do your time and shut up. If the Supreme Ct. takes this case I will fall over.

And by the way, where is poor little Bridget getting the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to mount this appeal to the Supremes? Tell someone who gives a shit.

[jberryhill]

32. This

[marble falls]

17. She needs to take some ownership for her situation. That said: indict Christie.

[gratuitous]

24. I wonder what made her think she was anything but a patsy?

Is it wrong that I'm smiling so much?

[Hekate]

25. She thought she was one of the gang (she's not innocent), but instead she got gang-raped...

What was done to Bridget Kelly was vile. What she did was wrong, but the fact that she was set up to take the fall for all these powerful untouchable men who look out for each other, to be publicly humiliated, and go to prison when they got off scot-free, is nothing short of nauseating.

[Horse with no Name]

28. Totally agree. Very well said. N/t

[Little Star]

34. Bingo. If the rest of them were paying the price....

I'd say she should also but that is not what happened.

Nauseating is to kind a word for this unequal treatment!

[DeminPennswoods]

27. Kelly was unimpressive

She just came off as someone who is headed to 13 months in the federal pen and wants to portray herself as a sympathetic figure.

Maddow pressed her on the "is it wrong for me to smile" email and she expressed no remorse except "I should have worded it better". She basically denied, denied, denied that she had any real part in the plan. According to her she was just an innocent by-stander caught up in the Christie mafia.

Maybe there's something there with the lawyer who contacted her, got some of Kelly's defense information, quit, then ended up on the NJ Supreme Court, but it wasn't really clear exactly what. She seemed to imply there was a quid pro quo, but provided no proof.

[moondust]

29. Lie down with dogs...

get up with fleas.

Or prison sentences.

Sounds like she played along with the Republican boys and got the shaft. Duh. Good lesson for Trump enablers.

[uponit7771]

33. +1, the bastards who are doing Red Don's bidding aren't understanding those guys will throw

... anyone they can under the bus quick fast and nasty.

[redstateblues]

30. Ironic that the first six letters of her name spell Bridge

[jberryhill]

31. Tough shit

Render unto me a fucking break. If she had anything significant to say, the time is long past for that. Lock her up already.
