Closely, it asks for all documents, e-mails, text messages, voice mail recordings, notes, all correspondence related to this from september 1st to the present. and it specifically cites the authority in the resolution, which is they are investigating an abuse of government power or an attempt to conceal an abuse of government power. it is not just who gave the order of the shutdown orders, but also everything that happened after that. the traffic study, the senate committee said there was zero e...

Submitted questions to the port authority last month about the traffic mess. and he was pleased with the response. these are excerpts from his statement. quote, the port authoritys response provides zero evidence that the purpose of these closures was to conduct a legitimate traffic study. i am also disturbed by the evidence showing that the port authoritys professional and engineering staff raised serious concerns about the lane closure plan. they explained that the closures would cause signifi...

The traffic -- who caused the traffic jams and why is still obviously a mystery. we do know that david wildstein is a key figure in that and had those communications with bridget kelly back in august. but its the months that after that that the weeks and months after that that really is what is so politically perilous for governor christie here because -- >> what do you mean? what would be perilous about that time frame? >> well, because there is extensive e-mails and text messages showing that ...

Investigation. at the end of the day -- >> why would he risk calling cuomo up? >> because he probably thinks there is something at risk here. >> why would he risk telling a democrat he is afraid of an investigation? >> to me the most nixoniian moment was when chris christie said maybe there was a traffic study. >> the same way -- here he is using the same attack to the press. christie and nixon both took snarky attitudes. remember christie last month? >> i work the cones, actually. i was actuall...

Acting upon that lie. >> not only that. he, at the very least, didnt ask the right question. you have to wonder, why was this traffic study such a big deal? is there any merritt to his argument. what strikes me about the e-mails is that samson was most interested, not in what happened to the people of ft. lee and the other new jersey commuters, he was most interested in, we have to protect the governor and we are angry for putting the story out here. his primary interest was political damage con...

Lets get to the rockefeller. he said the port authority records he contained zero evidence that the purpose of the lane closures are in the traffic study. we have been choosing our words very, very carefully. we always do. but at what point can we go ahead and see once and for all this study that caused the crazy traffic jams was bogus. >> i think we can until we are proven otherwise. several other investigations are under way and see if any evidence comes forward to justify the traffic study. a...

Port authority to help them. in order for the truth to already be on the table, it has to be the case that samson is helping them push back against new york having been told a lie about the origin of the traffic jam, believing that lie and acting upon that lie. >> not only that. he, at the very least, didnt ask the right question. you have to wonder, why was this traffic study such a big deal? is there any merritt to his argument. what strikes me about the e-mails is that samson was most interes...

Mysterious traffic study. you know the that clogged them. the theory is it might have been some sort of pay back and it brought a lot of heat upon governor christie. he did acknowledge that once again today. >> all kinds of challenges as you know that come every day out of nowhere to test you. i want to assure the people of new jersey of one thing. i was born here. i was raised here. im raising my family here. this is where i intend to spend the rest of my life. whatever test they put in front o...

Traffic study and this was a legitimate study. its also a reminder that this is a u.s. senator who issued that statement. federal prosecutors are looking at this. two state assembly committees are looking at this. this could go on for months and longer. so far there is zero evidence to tie it to the governor, but it will be a distraction at a minimum. >> a bunch of people will get subpoenas today and that will include names we discussed. the former deputy chief of staff that sent that in august ...

Walstein who was involved in this traffic study. he took the fifth. >> over and over and over. >> right. the question is does everybody else do that? they plan to call bridgele kelly and other top aides. the person who travels and carries his bag because the committee has been told that the governor uses his body guide with his staff. did the governor ask for this and know anything about this? the governor said no. there was no evidence. it gets to everybody around the governor and again the res...
