The NJ General Assembly committee investigating last September's lane closures on the George Washington Bridge revealed on Friday the individuals and organizations who were served with 13 of the 20 subpoenas it issued as part of the investigation.

Subpoenas were served to the office of Gov. Chris Christie (R) and his aides Christina Genovese and Evan Ridley, among others.

Assemblyman John Wisniewski (D), the committee's chairman, held a media availability after its first meeting Thursday in which he said subpoenas were issued to 17 people and three "organizations." He said he would not give further details until the subpoenas were served. Christie's office is the only organization among the thirteen subpoenas now confirmed by the Assembly.

The 12 individuals who received subpoenas are listed below:

1. No Kelly? Or not yet? nt

3. first thing I thought.

Where's Kelly? Maybe, not yet, but I won't hold my breath waiting.

5. The NJ Senate investigation has subpoenaed Bridget Kelly.

12. Kelly has been subpoenaed - this article is specifically about his office - she's no longer...

...working in his office. There's a link in the article that discussed all the other individuals, including her.

8. And Friday news dump 'aint over.

[AtheistCrusader]

10. True, but it's after working hours on that coast, so, any more fun will come in the form

of an arrest, if anything.

11. I thought subpoenas were opportunistic?

13. This wasn't a Friday news dump, most of that happened yesterday afternoon.

6. Michelle Brown is the one I'm hoping for

LONG time confidante (and rumored lover- ugh), very smart and credentialed, very important role in economic development ala Kornacki billion dollar Ft. Lee project financing theory.

7. Expect Charles McKenna to use his legal saavy to try to strike a deal early.

It's not like I haven't seen that before.

9. I don't get it. Why his "office? Is Christie himself getting subpoena'd?

I guess not, since we don't wanna do anything to damage his presidential ambitions. He said he knew nothing, let's trust him.

[George II]

15. Come on folks, let's all read the article(s) about this. It was noted several times....

...that he wouldn't be subpoenaed, yet. With the evidence they have, nothing shows that Christie was involved in the lane shutdown, so he wasn't included. The legislators don't want this to look like a fishing expedition.

If and when they find that he was involved, you can be sure he'll get one too.

16. By his office

that would mean they are looking to pull paper files, memos, emails, hard drives, cell phones, etc.

A LOT of incriminating info to be found there.

And, if they turn up missing files, shredded papers, erased or missing hard drives, THEN it becomes "obstruction of justice" which is way easier to prove, definitely illegal, and the crime that usually takes down politicians and their lackeys.

14. Maybe behind the senes there are negotiations with her council

17. K&R!
