3) Who is the 'General?'

So far, documents subpoenaed by the Legislature have shown several figures close to Christie were involved in discussions about the lane closures and subsequent fallout including; Baroni, Wildstein, Kelly, former Christie campaign manager Bill Stepien, and top administration spokesman Michael Drewniak. However, the new documents show other Christie aides discussed how to handle questions from the press and politicians about the closures. There was also an indication an unnamed figure Wildstein referred to as "general" was in on the conversation.

On Oct. 2, 2013, Baroni sent a text to Wildstein describing communication he had with Christie's Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications, Maria Comella.

"Comella didn't think much of the story. Said Nobody paying attention," Baroni wrote.

"Bridget same," replied Wildstein, in an apparent reference to Kelly.

Wildstein followed up with a question.

"What did general want?"

The remainder of this exchange was redacted.

1. I've heard Christie refer to Attorney Samson as "General"

which I don't think is a name he's entitled to. He was never a military general but the attorney general of New Jersey! Christie has often referred to him as "General"!
