"Lock Him Up, Lock Him Up"!

A former aide to Chris Christie texted that the New Jersey governor "flat out lied" about his awareness of his staff’s involvement in the “Bridgegate” scandal, according to a Wednesday report. Christine Renna, who worked under Christie’s deputy chief of staff, texted another aide during a press conference in which Christie denied that his administration was involved in the 2013 George Washington Bridge lane closing.

The text message was released Wednesday in a new court filing, first reported by NorthJersey.com.

“Are you listening? He just flat out lied about senior staff and (former deputy chief of staff Bill) Stepien not being involved,” Renna said in the message sent on December 13, 2013.“He lied,” she added. “And if emails are found with the subpoena of (campaign) emails are uncovered in discovery if it come to that it could be bad.”

Renna later deleted the text messages.
