Fort Lee Mayor Refuses To Be Interviewed By Christie's Lawyers

ERIC LACH – FEBRUARY 18, 2014, 10:35 AM EST
The New Jersey mayor at the center of the George Washington Bridge lane closing scandal won't cooperate with lawyers representing Gov. Chris Christie's (R) office, The Newark Star-Ledger reported on Monday.
In a letter sent Monday to the defense attorney leading the Christie administration's legal team, an attorney for Fort Lee, N.J. Mayor Mark Sokolich declined to have his client sit for an interview or voluntarily turn over documents related to the lane closures. Some democrats in New Jersey have for months suggested that the lane closures were retaliation against Sokolich, a Democrat who declined to endorse Christie's re-election last year.
“While the mayor has gone out of his way to be fair to all parties in this matter, he wants to make sure that he respects the legal proceedings that are ongoing,” Sokolich's attorney, Tim Donohue, wrote in his letter, according to the Star-Ledger. “In light of the parallel investigations being conducted at the same time regarding the same subject matter, I do not believe it would be appropriate for the mayor to be interviewed by you or to produce any documents.”
Christie's office hired attorney Randy Mastro to help produce documents for the multiple investigations into the lane closures, but also to help with an independent internal review of the incident. Sokolich's decision not to be interviewed by Mastro or his team follows a similar move by Hoboken, N.J. Mayor Dawn Zimmer.

the picture you linked to was when Ms. Kelly was in contact w/ David Wildstein about
the made up "traffic study" cover story. Of course there was no way that Christie could
have known about what was going on .... he was "out of the loop."
but he wants to talk to her victims?
Fuck you Christie. Stop impeding state and federal investigation with your attack dogs on the taxpayers' dime. Fuck you.
He wants to intimidate them too.
When we get to the bottom of this cesspool, I hope Christie's sitting at the bottom, plugging up the drain.
remember all this shit. 
People complaining about msnbc focusing on the Christie scandals so much shoulda told Christie to watch his damn greed for power, buster.. and then maybe The Harder They Fall wouldn't be happening like mushrooms popping up after two weeks' hard rain on the Islands.
meanwhile go piss up a rope.
I'll never forget that drama, especially when the freaking president RESIGNED
