Ruh Roh, things are getting hot in Christieworld
New Jersey Gov Chris Christie's former point man at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey "was camped at the U.S. Attorney's office" last week meeting with federal prosecutors investigating the George Washington Bridge lane closings, according to one of several people close to the case.
Over the thing...
In addition, Charlie McKenna, former chief councel to Christie, met secretly in mid-January with investigators working for Fishman, who is leading the Justice Department probe into the September lane closings.
Time to cut deals
Deal cutting is sure to gather momentum in the coming weeks following the March 28 release of the Governor's internal investigation of the lane cosings and the Hoboken N.J., Superstorm Sandy aid allegations, commisioned by Christie at a cost of more than $1 million in taxpayer money.
It would seem that it's likely that Wildstein has cut a deal with prosecutors, judging from what is being said in the article.
