[Jacque67 7,328]

For months, nobody seemed to know the whereabouts of a particular cell phone used by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to text with an aide regarding Bridgegate hearings in late 2013. Strangely enough, his lawyer had it the whole time.

Right after Bridgegate I turned it over. I havent had it for two-plus years, but its in the hands of the government, as far as I know. I dont know exactly who physically has it but I turned it over in response to requests from the government as I said I would to fully cooperate with them because, you know, they want the information theyre more than welcome to it, Christie said in May. On Friday, the New York Times reported, a spokesperson for the governors office said that Christies personal attorney, Christopher Wray, has the phone.

Attorneys for Bill Baroni and Bridget Kelly, who pleaded guilty to charges that they manufactured a traffic jam on the George Washington bridge as political retaliation on Christies behalf, were seeking access to the cell phone because they wanted to review its contents themselves: specifically, deleted text messages between the governor and his former chief of staff, Regina Egea, sent while Port Authority employees testified before state lawmakers in Trenton about the lane closings. Egea has said she deleted messages routinely.

At a hearing last week, a federal judge considered arguments that Christies team should produce the cell phone. The governors office was represented at the hearing by lawyers from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, who said they didnt have the phone. The judge denied the defenses request for access to the phone and its contents.

The governors office hired Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher after the lane closings to conduct an internal investigation of the Bridgegate scheme and cleared the governor of any involvement. The firm commissioned a forensic analysis of his phone, the relevant results of which it says it turned over to the government and the other defense teams. In 2010, NJ Advance Media notes, an attorney for the firm wrote an article for Law.com about the importance of preserving cell phone records when under federal investigation.

Wray, who was not present at last weeks court hearing, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Gawker.

You want naked pictures of him ? Gross

Of course not. He forgot it in his lawyer's office and the lawyer forgot to return it to him for the last two years. Happens to all of us, doesn't it?

Yep! Now we just have to have a bunch of classified data on that compromising national security and the director of the FBI concluding he's negligent, then he can be promoted to Clinton's ticket.
