New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, unhappy with new allegations about his involvement in Bridgegate, lashed out at his accusers in an email entitled "5 Things You Should Know About The Bombshell That's Not A Bombshell." In Saturday's email, Christie bashed David Wildstein, former Port Authority of New York and New Jersey appointee, and the New York Times.

In early January, Christie was accused of being part of a political scheme to close access lanes on the George Washington Bridge in September, which resulted in serious traffic delays. The governor's appointee Bridget Kelly was said to have coordinated the lane closures and has since been fired by Christie.

Saturday's message, sent by Christie's office to his friends and supporters, was in response to a New York Times story in which Wildstein's lawyer claims there is evidence that proves the Republican governor had knowledge of the lane closures. The potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate first denounced the New York Times for its "sloppy reporting" that set off a "media firestorm" and then pointed out that the story underwent a number of corrections since its publication on Friday. 

The email reaffirmed Christie's lack of involvement or understanding in the George Washington Bridge scandal. It reiterates that Christie was made aware Wildstein and Bridget Kelly were politically motivated to close bridge lanes on Jan. 8, when the scandal was officially reported.

Wildstein's character is attacked in the email for odd behavior and creating a "Culture of Fear" within Port Authority. Christie's email features quotes from Wildstein's critics, like Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich.

Christie said the former appointee has been described by people and newspaper accounts as "tumultuous" and the subject of suspicious behavior, such as his time as an anonymous blogger and his "strange habit of registering web addresses for other people's names without telling them." 

The email further slams Wildstein for the way he is handling the Bridgegate controversy.

"David Wildstein has been publicly asking for immunity since the beginning, been held in contempt by the New Jersey legislature for refusing to testify, failed to provide this so-called 'evidence' when he was first subpoenaed by the NJ Legislature and is looking for the Port Authority to pay his legal bills," the email read.

The negative portrayal of the former appointee ends with an unpleasant final statement.

"Bottom line - David Wildstein will do and say anything to save David Wildstein," it said.

Wildstein had previously resigned from his position in December when investigations in Bridgegate were underway. 

The Assembly committee asked him to testify before a panel regarding the lane closures, but he pleaded the Fifth and refused. According to his lawyer, Wildstein would be willing to testify if he were granted immunity.
