I think that's a safe bet. I think the Christie staff involved used private email accounts and texts thinking that those items would never see the light of day. Now that there is a paper trail, and from what I've heard today about an immunity deal for Wildstein, I think someone is going to talk. There are at least four people facing possible charges: Baroni, Kelly, Wildstein, Sampson. One of them is going to take a deal. And if the NJ USDA is going to take a swing at this one, he's going to swing hard. Careers get made on this kind of case.
