senator o toole also advanced that that line of reasoning in a press release that was sent out the same day of that testimony. is that something that all new jersey republicans were doing at that time and we shouldn t see it as unusual or did kevin o toole go out on a limb there? i don t think he went out on a limb. and remember the timing. at that point it was before we had the subpoena documents and knew what we now know today. i can t put thoughts? senator o toole s head or read his mind. he might have believed that there was in fact a traffic study. the terms of what happens next, the reams of documents. people s blackberries, the calendars, the call logs are all due a week from today in terms of people responding to the legislative subpoena. anybody who got federal grand subpoenas will have to response by two days later. do you know anything to help us anticipate whether or not the subpoenas are going to be complied with or whether or not anybody expects to fight them? wel
appreciate your time. my pleasure, rachel. any time. first, let me just ask you about this development actually with the state of the union and the ft. lee mayor mark sokolich being invited to the state of the union by a new jersey democratic congressman who has been a real critic of chris christie s. should we see that as a pure political message here? that s how i see it. congressman pascrell has been very outspoken against governor christie from the get-go, in fact. i m not surprised he would make some political aim this way at all. in terms of the investigation that s happening of this scandal at the legislature, i was perhaps naively surprised today when i saw that the republicans pick for state senator to be on that committee is kevin o toole. as far as i understand it, he s thought of as being as close an ally as the governor has in the legislature, and his name does turn up in the subpoenaed e-mails and text messages that have been released so far already by the invest

lanes. i sat in traffic before i was governor at the george washington bridge. and the fact that one town has three lanes dedicated to it, that kind of gets me sauced. so bill baroni is making the ft. lee wants special treatment argument, therefore covering up the story that disguises what they actually did to the bridge for some unknown political reason. governor christie is also making the ft. lee wants special treatment argument about the fake traffic cover story. and at the same time the line is also being advanced by a republican state senator in new jersey, a republican state senator named kevin o toole. he represents district 40, which represents essex, passaic and burgen counties. and senator o tool toole said i
