5. Here Is Something To Consider....

while your contemplating Mr. Christie's latest story. Who did he send out to "investigate"? Charlie & Kevin. What are their backgrounds:

Kevin O’Dowd, Chief of Staff

Prior to joining the Christie Administration, O’Dowd served as the Chief of the Securities and Healthcare Fraud Unit in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey. During the seven years he served as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office, O’Dowd prosecuted various crimes ranging from complex healthcare, securities and financial fraud matters to international child pornography distribution, cyber crimes and narcotics trafficking violations.

Charles B. McKenna, Chief Counsel

Mr. McKenna came to this position from the United States Attorney's Office, District of New Jersey, where he had served for 18 years. At the time of his appointment, he was the Chief of the Criminal Division, a position in which he directed attorneys responsible with prosecuting federal criminal violations since 2008. He also supervised investigations and interacted with heads of law enforcement-including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Agency, Internal Revenue Service and Department of Defense and was responsible for establishing and administering policy for the Criminal Division, the largest in the US Attorney's Office.

From 2002 until 2008, Mr. McKenna served as Executive Assistant US Attorney under then US Attorney Chris Christie. Here, he had executive oversight for all Criminal and Civil Division investigations as well as administrative responsibilities to ensure efficient operations in the office.


Yet, they didn't come up with anything! Experienced and accomplished U.S. Attorneys. Of course they have been part of Christie's crew since his days as the U.S. Attorney for NJ and are now his right hand henchmen. Couldn't find a thing. Because (if indeed they were dispatched to the Port Authority to investigate) they didn't want to find anything! The stories stink more and more every day!

Maybe he should have sent out these crack investigators:
