Former Homeland Security chief hired to represent bridge honcho in New Jersey probe

The chairman of the Port Authority New York and New Jersey — now entangled in two scandals involving New Jersey Governor Chris Christie — has hired a former Department of Homeland Security chief to represent him in an ever-growing probe into September closures of the George Washington Bridge, which was recently exposed as a political vendetta.

Former Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff will advise and represent Port Authority chairman David Samson, New Jersey's Bergen Record reported Sunday.

Sampson was one of 17 people subpoenaed Friday to turn over documents that investigators hope will reveal the facts about lane closures on the George Washington Bridge that were carried out by two Christie executives at the Port Authority in September.

The two Port Authority officials who ordered the closures have resigned, but Samson said last week he would not step down. Christie maintains that he didn't know the closures were motivated by a political payback scheme that hatched in his office.

7. There will be some untimely deaths if not trumped up charges for exile to a Fed gulag.

And this will not be for Christie and his cronies. It will be for the honest and bullied victims for speaking the truth. Sad to say, but that is the state of justice in corporate 'merika.
