I know this is ROL, but ROL says they have info about immunity

No point in trashing the source - fully aware a celebrity scoop site - although they do well at that. Take it or leave it, as you see fit.

Now, one source close to the probe has revealed to Radar: “The United States Attorney’s Office would be more than willing to offer some form of a deal to David Wildstein and/or Bridget Ann Kelly, in exchange for any information that could prove that Governor Christie was involved with the bridge closure.”

Christie, a Republican presidential hopeful, has insisted he knew nothing of the lane closings before they occurred.

“The information (from Wildstein or Kelly) would have to be iron-clad, for a deal to be done,” added the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.

“If Governor Christie was telling the truth at his press conference, he will have nothing to worry about. But there are major doubts in the prosecutor’s office because Christie is known as being a micro-manager. What are the odds one of his operatives would just go rogue and order a bridge closure?”

Said another source: “This inquiry is much further along (than people think). It would be fair to call it an investigation.”

Among those criminal charges Christie and his former staffers face are federal corruption, misuse of public resources/authority/resources and conspiracy, the insider added.

“There are many different angles being looked at,” said the source, who also asked not to be identified.

“The problem for Governor Christie is that he has made a lot of enemies in New Jersey and the GOP isn’t stepping up to support him.
