NJ Weasel Fight: One Under Oath vs. One Overly Angry

 David Wildstein (under oath) vs. Gov. Christie (soothsayer)

The biggest on-going political news since the GOP voted 44 times to repeal the ACA health care law (Obama-care): New Jersey Bridge-gate (every scandal is a "gate" ever since 1974 it seems).

Up-to-date as of now: The investigation into the George Washington Bridge gridlock is now in high gear.

A lot of subpoenas have been issued or in the process on top of the hiring of counsel and the formation of special legislative committees. Twelve individuals and the governor's office had been identified as having been served with documents-only subpoenas due on February 3.

The Christie insiders served: Chief of Staff and Attorney General nominee Kevin O'Dowd; Chief Counsel Charles McKenna; lead spokesman Michael Drewniak; another spokesman, Colin Reed; Communications Director Maria Comella; O'Dowd's expected successor, Regina Egea; and two other staffers, Christina Genovese and Evan Ridley.

One subpoena was directed to Bill Stepien, who managed both of Christie's gubernatorial campaigns.

Former Deputy Chief of Staff Bridget Kelly, author of the infamous “time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee” email, is also expected to be served with a subpoena (she was fired on January 9).

Port Authority figures subpoenaed were chairman David Samson of Wolff & Samson in West Orange, former director of interstate capital projects David Wildstein, who implemented the closures, and former deputy executive director Bill Baroni.

Wildstein and Baroni are Christie appointees who have already been subpoenaed and called to testify. Both resigned in December 2013.

One thing about a subpoena – the person receiving it will be sworn to tell the truth and under oath.

Now the Gov's office (in another email) just came out with the subject: "Bottom line - David Wildstein will do and say anything to save David Wildstein." It even goes as far back the Wildstein high school days. How low is that vis-à-vis the current mess? 

Anyone besides me see zero, none, nada, zip, no connection to the whether the Gov knew, knows, or didn't about this mess?

Stay tuned – it ain’t over till it’s over.
