Absolutely correct that senator otoole is a member of christies inner circle. for his part the senator otoole said he doesnt recall that conversation with david wildstein, and if he had one, its not out of the norm for what he or officials in his office would do for members of the port authority. what he did remember is he definitely did not talk about the assemblies investigation into the bridgegate probe. so that clearly was good enough for the senate republican leader otherwise he wouldnt hav...
