By Michael Martinez, CNN
updated 2:26 PM EST, Sat January 11, 2014(CNN) -- The Democratic New Jersey legislator leading an investigation into Republican Gov. Chris Christie's administration says he believes laws were broken when the governor's aides ordered lane closures at the nation's busiest bridge.
"I do think laws have been broken," said State Assemblyman John Wisniewski, who's also deputy speaker. "Public resources -- the bridge, police officers -- all were used for a political purpose, for some type of retribution, and that violates the law."
Legislators need to "make sure any violations of law are addressed," Wisniewski told CNN on Saturday. More at link://www.cnn.com/2014/01/11/politics/chris-christie-traffic-scandal/

In New Jersey, Wisniewski said the legislative committee's investigation into the scandal "would be made immeasurably simpler if the governor's office said, 'Please tell us what you'd like. We'll turn over all those documents.'"

He needs to time to cover his ass.
