A Bridge(t) too far-Former Christie aide Bridget Anne Kelly running for office

[malaise]

Bridget Anne Kelly, a former aide to former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie whose conviction in the Bridgegate scandal was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, is running for office.

Kelly announced during a television appearance Monday that she is seeking the Republican nomination for Bergen County clerk.

Kelly became well known for her role Bridgegate, when several local access lanes to the George Washington Bridge were closed over three days in September 2013. The lane closures in Fort Lee were an act of political retribution against the town’s mayor, Mark Sokolich, a Democrat who refused to endorse Christie, a Republican, for reelection.

How do you run away from Bridgegate when your name is Bridget?

1. She was just a fall guy. The culprits were Christie and David Wildstein.

Kelly and Baroni were found guilty in November 2016 of fraud and conspiracy after Wildstein, the admitted architect of the political payback scheme, cooperated with federal prosecutors at their high-profile trial.

2. True but she was their fall guy

She should have exposed them - wasn't Stepien part of the package?
