Christie's "Crew" Needs Nicknames

Every good organized crime enterprise gives its operatives nicknames. Now that the subpoenas are going out, it's high time to giver the players in Christie's administration their working titles. Mike "The Mouthpiece" Drewniak is a good place to start. Here's some inspiration from Goodfellas to come up with some more.

Wasn't he the only one who survived? He seems more like Joe Cabot to me. Or would that actually be David Samson?

Billy Baloney is right behind the State Trooper's head! I like the idea of the Photo Organization chart. Maybe someone could put one together for us.

I'm counting 11 of the 17 named here in the article.

A total of 17 people and three organizations must produce records to Assembly's investigative committee. They include Regina Egea, Christie's incoming chief of staff; Christie's communications Director Maria Comella; Port Authority Executive Director Patrick Foye; Deputy Director Bill Baroni; and GOP Party fundraiser Nicole Davidman Drewniak, who is married to Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak, according to the sources who requested anonymity because they were not permitted to release the information publicly.

On Thursday night, The Star-Ledger reported subpoenas were sent to Kevin O’Dowd, Christie’s pick to serve as the state’s new Attorney General; Bridget Anne Kelly, the former deputy chief of staff for the governor who has been one of the key names in the investigation; Bill Stepien, Christie’s former campaign manager; Charles McKenna, the governor’s former chief counsel; Michael Drewniak, Christie’s spokesman.

A GOP Party leader confirmed Matt Mowers, a former aide to the governor, had also been served, and predicted he would be exonerated
.

So we've got Mike The Mouthpiece, Billy Baloney, Charles "Big Mac" McKenna....

Need some money-go tap Nicole.

Regina "See No Evil" Egea. Bridgegate Kelly's boss. Never saw anything wrong going on.

Nicknamed him "Governor Soprano" years ago.

He's a Rove-and-Cheney salad with Don Corleone dressing.
