NJ Star-Ledger: Christie bridge scandal: Recipients of 18 new subpoenas revealed

[spanone]

TRENTON — The state legislative committee investigating the George Washington Bridge scandal will issue 18 new subpoenas, including to Gov. Chris Christie's office, his inner circle and officials at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, The Star-Ledger has learned.

Recipients include the State Police aviation unit, which oversees Christie's helicopter travel, four new members of Christie's office, and his failed state Supreme Court nominee, Phillip Kwon, who now works as deputy general counsel at the Port Authority.

Some of the recipients were also subpoenaed in past rounds, including the governor's office, his re-election campaign and Bill Baroni, the former deputy executive director of the Port Authority who resigned last year as the scandal unfolded.

The names were included on a document titled, "Recommended additional subpoena recipients,' which was circulated to committee members. The document was obtained by The Star-Ledger, and a source close to the investigation confirmed the list matched those who will be issued subpoenas.

3. Philip Kwon may be a key witness

I have a feeling that he will be hiding behind attorney client privilege

[okaawhatever]

5. I'm interested in what the assistant to Wildstein at the Capital Projects has in her documents.

Also, the last subpoena for the tunnels guy at Port Authority. I'm wondering if they're getting into some project development abuse and maybe the Rockefeller group.

Christie should pay for chopper ride to ballgame

Call it “Sanctimonious One,” the taxpayer-funded helicopter, which Gov. Chris Christie didn’t hesitate to use at our expense for a joyride (or several).

While everyone else, by the governor’s decree, must tighten belts and do without things — like health care for women and tax rebates for seniors, for example — Christie thought it was okay for taxpayers to cough up a grand or two so he could take the flying limousine to a ballfield.

Much More to the story..
