(44,573 posts)58. Gloom, Despair, Agony: The Mastro Report is Gone
Last edited Thu Jun 1, 2023, 10:01 AM - Edit history (3)
NJ Spotlight.com: It seemed crazy to me to do what they did, Robert Del Tufo, a former New Jersey...and U.S. Attorney, said of Christies...internal investigation. They spent over a million dollars of taxpayer money. Its unusual in an internal investigation not to take down transcripts of what people said, and presumably they just summarized things so they could put a slant on what people said."
...Del Tufo...believed the interview memos implicitly would be public information paid for with public funds...I think investigators could get the memos with a subpoena.

I was going to add that to my previous post. But when I clicked on the article's link to the Gibson Dunn Bridge(t)Gate "Mastro" report at GDCreport.com, this is what came up:

It's gone -- the ENTIRE Mastro report is GONE from GDCreport.com! The cover letter Gibson sent to Christie -- GONE! The executive summary minus the recommendations -- GONE! The interviews with nearly six dozen of Christie's best friends that made this DU thread possible -- GONE! All 360 pages of the report itself -- GONE!
Well, I hope all you haters are happy -- maybe now you'll face the truth instead of believing all this nonsense about Gibson Dunn getting 7 million dollars of taxpayer money from Christie (minus what was "donated" to his Republican Governors Association). Apparently, the law firm of Gibson Dunn Cutcher is actually so broke they can't even afford keep their web URL names renewed. But what are we supposed to do now -- especially now that the report may become a key component in the trials of Kelly and Baroni that are tentatively scheduled for mid-November?
Since there was absolutely no reason to believe that the Mastro reports might unceremoniously disappear one day (especially since it was financed with taxpayer money), I guess there's nothing we can do...except regret that someone didn't have the foresight to download them first...and have a place where they could be uploaded, too!

Didn't Christie just fantasize about beating a woman and then serving her with a subpoena?
