We've still got the on-going questions about whether NJ Gov candidate Chris Christie pushed political prosecutions as US Attorney to keep on Karl Rove's good side and pave the way for his run for governor.
Now comes word that the hold-over acting US Attorney who took for Christie (a Bush era appointee for the 'acting' slot) is himself now facing an internal investigation into whether he politicized a recent corruption investigation to aide Christie's campaign and hurt Gov. Corzine.Late Update: A further detail. According to the notification at the time of his appointment, Marra, the Acting US Attorney, is actually a registered Democrat. He was, however, Christie's top aide since 2002.
