Christie blocks release of correspondence with Kushner Companies

[RandySF]

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) is using his personal attorney, formerly his administration's attorney general, to block the release of correspondence between his office and the company formerly managed by White House adviser Jared Kushner.

The nonprofit MapLight reports that Jeff Chiesa issued a letter by the former governor last week that declared all requests involving his office's records would be handled by Chiesa to deny requests for the correspondence.

Kushner Companies, a real estate firm now managed by Kushner's brother, benefited under Christie's administration, during which it was the recipient of a $33 million tax credit for the development of One Journal Square Project, a planned skyscraper in Jersey City.

Despite the fact that Chiesa's firm says it had "identified a limited number of responsive documents" between Christie's office and the Kushner Companies, Christie's attorney said the documents were privileged and would not be released.

2. People should step back to take in the nuttiness of this....

"Kushner Companies, a real estate firm now managed by Kushner's brother, benefited under Christie's administration"

The SAME Christie that put away Papa Senior
The SAME Christie that Jared blocked from taking part in the Administration.

This says to me that this correspondence might be legally troubling for Christie.

Throwing Christie into this mess is like icing on the cake. May he, like all the others, get everything he deserves.
