Authority as something that kind of professionalizes this process and these assets like the lincoln tunnel and the george washington bridge. but they don't take the politics out of it. the politics gets intensified in many ways. >> well, the other thing there we play christie -- we played baroni, both giving this sort of story they are concerned that ft. lee has dedicated ft. lee only lanes. and you know this and you can speak to this a little bit, the reality of the lanes and who uses the lanes is overwhelmingly not -- this is to ease traffic in north jersey to the george washington bridge. s...

Derail, devalue, destroy this $1 billion project? if it was, did it almost work? does the reason that it took extra time to line up financing for the hudson lights project have anything to do with the lane closures? there was, as we have found, a ft. lee borough council meeting where in closed session with no notes the contract with tucker development, the prime developer behind hudson lights, was discussed. this came just two days after the infamous time for some traffic in ft. lee e-mail was sent by bridgette kelly. was anything relevant to all of this discussed at the august 15 meeting? and...

E-mail. we know that meeting apparently happened because of text messages subpoenaed from david wildstein, told to turn over records that are relevant to the lane closure. so by turning over those texts, he is suggesting that the christie/samson meeting had something to do with the closures. again, there are far more questions than answers here. even if undermining sokolich's prize redevelopment program was part of the scheme, we don't know why he was targeted or if there was someone else, someone bigger at stake at the heart of this. weigh still don't know who would have been involved. docume...
