Who knows where this lead - might still reach the head of the state police.
One thing I know - when you're climbing that power ladder, make sure to treat everyone with respect because when that descent begins, those you mistreated will all be there waiting to drag you down with glee. We're witnessing the descent - as the article about the Springsteen/Fallon parody said that will be played and people will howl until he reaches his grave.

ReTHUG scumbags.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2014/01/17/former-prosecutor-points-to-another-case-against-christie-administration/
<snip>
– As New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's administration deals with an unfolding political scandal involving top aides, another case involving accusations of cronyism has attracted new attention.

Bennett Barlyn, a former New Jersey assistant prosecutor, alleges he and other prosecutors were fired in 2010 for going after a local sheriff who happened to be close to Christie and the lieutenant governor.

Barlyn said the Hunterdon County sheriff and her staff were indicted on 43 counts involving corruption and abuse of power.

But then New Jersey's attorney general "swooped in and basically killed the case abruptly," Barlyn said on CNN's "New Day."

Why?

Then-Attorney General Paula Dow had claimed one of the prosecutors mispresented the case to the grand jury and had errors in his presentation, Barlyn said. All 43 counts were dismissed.

By issuing a subpoena against that office, a prosecutor insures that nothing can be hidden.

Here's his profile:
