A special committee investigating the manufactured traffic jam at the George Washington Bridge could issue its first round of subpoenas Thursday to allies of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

Among those most likely to receive subpoenas, state lawmakers have said, is Bridget Kelly, Christie’s since-fired deputy chief of staff, who sent the email last August — “Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee” — that appeared to set the jam in motion.

Aides to the committee, formed by state lawmakers to focus exclusively on the bridge fiasco, said it would probably seek documents first, before ordering testimony from witnesses.

I hear it can be painful for a male over the age of fifty.


Seriously though, this is good news. Thanks for posting!
