we haven't seen/heard anything from Wildstein himself lately.

LOL - you know I know a few Wildsteins

They are usually the smartest guys in their class - nerdy and geeky, but always working hard not to have a nerdy image. They usually have another very important characteristic - loyalty to school and team. They also like being around people they deem important or 'valuable'.
So I can see him as a youngster not just as the scorer for the school's baseball team but as a person capable of modernizing the collection and use of statistics not only for the team but also for the team's opponents. The thing about most of these guys is they assess their own importance based on how their perceived 'important connections' need them.
They never realize their own importance in the scheme of things.
The problem for Christie and the rest of the gang is that geeky nerds like Wildstein keep everything on files, not because they are necessarily vindictive but because they are meticulous and love to keep records of all achievements.
I'm betting he did a lot of statistical work for more than a few of the gang of the subpoena(d). There is evidence that using his pseudonym he promoted some of the gang (for example he recommended Schuber for Commissioner). I'm betting they will unearth lots of planted articles promoting Christie while dissing anyone outside of the gang.
He must have been very useful hence the nice made up post at the PA - but he was merely their tool.
Christie's nasty comments distancing himself from him should be the last straw but you never know with these tools. In reality he may never have to sing - just handing over all the paperwork (on hard or soft copies) could sink the goons.
He's going to be every other member of the gang's whipping stick because he was Christie's tool, but I'm betting he has the dirt on everyone (and on paper). This sure is his moment to discover his importance.
That said I hope he wrote his will.

(39,313 posts)6. This is very accurate!
Others are guessing he has copies of every communication.
He is in permanent pout with that lower lip, he's out to git the Guv.

(268,997 posts)7. I watched Brian Murphy on Up
and he said Christie made a big mistake when he 'dissed' (my word) Wildstein and threw him over the bridge at that press conference. He also feels that Wildstein is a 'documents' man.

Don't believe anything Christie says may be more like it.
