Supreme Court Sounds Ready to Let Criminals Walk at Bridgegate Hearing

The 2013 “Bridgegate� scandal, in which appointees of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie closed two lanes of the George Washington Bridge entry ramp to exact revenge against a political opponent, may now seem rather quaint in comparison with a presidential impeachment, eight Trump associates convicted of crimes, and Russia’s interference in the 2016 and 2020 elections.

But the case argued today at the Supreme Court could have far-reaching consequences for how corrupt politicians–including those in the Trump administration–are held accountable for their actions.
