The same documents. the legislature needs to get its act together and act as one. in many cases you might have people who are being defended with taxpayer money. they might make a complaint about that. we shouldnt be wasting taxpayer money on two duelling investigation. so theres some fear christie could buy time by the existence of two separate panels. the other piece that comes into it, is what is the u.s. attorney going to do. thats a democratic appointed u.s. attorney general. if you talk to...
