Bridget Kelly's new lawyer

very interesting

http://www.northjersey.com/news/GWB_scandal_Lawyer-for-ex-Christie_aid_Bridget_Anne_Kelly_steps_down_citing_conflict.html

The Christie aide who wrote the now infamous message — "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee" — has hired a hard-charging and prominent defense attorney to represent her as several investigations move forward.

Michael Critchley confirmed Wednesday that he was representing Bridget Anne Kelly, of Ramsey, Christie's former deputy chief of staff, who was fired after her message surfaced, setting off a scandal over apparently vindictive access lane closures at the George Washington Bridge in September. Critchley, who has won several high-profile cases, said he wasn't ready to discuss Kelly's case just yet.

"But I will in the near future," he said

(Not Nicole Davidman Drewniak after all. I remember when we were trying to figure out who Nicole was in this thread : http://election.democraticunderground.com/10024307617
DU'r Laxman said:
Nicole is likely Nicole Crifo from the Authorities Unit. A liason to indenpendent authorities for the governor's office, likely assigned to the Port Authority at the time this happened.
He got it right )

"Trenton Feedback?" Baroni texted.
"Good," Wildstein responded.
"Just good?" Baroni wrote. "Shit."
"No. I have only texted brudget and Nicole and they were VERY happy,"
Wildstein responded.

ewww David Samson has a sex tape?

Did I read this correctly? How slimy are these people?


As Inquiry Widens, Port Authority Chief May Lose His Low Profile

Mr. Samson, who was born in Newark, was pulled into public view two decades ago, when the woman he was dating became the criminal obsession of her prior paramour, New York’s top judge, Sol Wachtler. Federal prosecutors charged Judge Wachtler with demanding a $20,000 blackmail payment in exchange for turning over compromising photographs and tapes of the woman, Joy Silverman, with Mr. Samson. He later pleaded guilty to threatening to kidnap her 14-year-old daughter.

N.J. judge denies Port Authority official's request to quash subpoena

http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/01/nj_judge_denies_port_authority_officials_request_to_quash_subpoena_in_gwb_bridge_case.html


TRENTON — A state judge denied a request from David Wildstein, a former Port Authority official who shut down lanes on the George Washington Bridge in September, who was asking the court to excuse him from testifying before the state Assembly today.

The court’s move gives the green light to what is expected to be a fiery hearing in the Assembly transportation committee later today.
