NEWARK — The leaders of the legislative panel that investigated the Bridgegate scandal said Friday they want to relaunch their probe following the conviction of two former Christie administration insiders in federal court.

Assemblyman John Wisniewski (D-Middlesex) and state Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D-Bergen) said the guilty verdicts reached by a jury on Friday were warranted, but they believe a key player in the controversial lane closures at the George Washington Bridge — Gov. Chris Christie — was left off the hook.

They said there is now more work for the special legislative committee that had initially investigated the Bridgegate scandal prior to the federal criminal charges against Bill Baroni and Bridget Anne Kelly.

I don't recall who the reporter was or what program I heard it on, but it was on MSNBC tonight when they were discussing the Va. legislature wanting to reconvene. I have no idea why he said that...maybe because Christie is his boss?
