This was reported by Rachel Maddow on MSNBC Friday night. It concerns Chris Christie and the Bridgate scandal that hovered over him as he was getting his presidential campaign started. Then one of his top aides and his man at the Port Authority got indicted, and things went quiet while the investigation of their cases went forth.
Friday was a critical day, because it was the deadline for revealing the identities of those other persons named as "unindicted co-cospirators" in those indictments. On Thursday night, an emergency petition for a delay was filed with the court, and the judge granted a three day delay. The petition was from "John Doe," who says he is on the list and claimed that if his name was revealed he "would suffer irreparable harm," and that the stigma "could never be removed."
That would certainly fit a sitting governor who has hopes (maybe even a promise) of being in the administration of a President Trump, in exchange for his early endorsement. This may be only coincidence, but the lawyer who filed the petition was an associate to Christie when he was the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. If it is Christie, it probably would do irreparable harm to his future political career, especially if he is guilty.
I'm just saying. The new deadline is Tuesday. Stay tuned.
