Subpoena targets in the New Jersey legislatures probes of the George Washington Bridge scandal will include the Port Authoritys chair and Governor Christies next-in-line to be chief of staff, according to the New Jersey Senates majority leader, Loretta Weinberg. What I can confirm is on the Senate side, that we will be subpoenaing documents from Mr. Samson, the chairperson of the Port Authority, from Commissioner Pat Schuber, a commissioner on the Port Authority, and from the governors new chief of staff [to be], Regina Egea, Weinberg told Salon Thursday afternoon.
Documents released Friday revealed that Samson, a giant of New Jersey politics, had accused Port Authority Executive Director Pat Foye of stirring up trouble after he objected to allegedly retaliatory George Washington Bridge land closures, and said Foye was playing in traffic, made a big mistake. The same document trove revealed that a dramatic September 9 e-mail from Foye, raising alarms over the lane closures, was forwarded the same day to Egea, then the director of Christies authorities unit.

to hide behind. I'm wondering how much we can or will actually get, that matters. "Fitzmas" once upon a time started out sounding great, too, and everybody clammed up and he couldn't get anything usable or prosecutable out of anybody, and all we got was a half-baked half-serving scooter libby who, I think, still hasn't seen the inside of a jail cell.

St. Bridget of the Bridge or that Wildstein guy?

She has the most to gain.

Rachel just happen to delve into a lot of Samson's stonewalling on the GWB.. last night. And, his big show of being so Vocal when there was only ONE Toll taker for the OUTER BRIDGE in 2011 around Easter Holiday. Which btw seems kind dumb of PA's management under Samson.
