Funny that they released it on Super Bowl Sunday:
TRENTON, N.J. — A member of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s administration who has been subpoenaed in an alleged political payback investigation has resigned.
Christina Genovese Renna left the governor’s office Friday, the same day former Christie loyalist David Wildstein claimed to have evidence contradicting the governor’s account of a lane closing operation, apparently to create traffic chaos as a political vendetta.
Renna reported to Deputy Chief of Staff Bridget Kelly, who apparently set the lane closings in motion with an email to Wildstein.
Renna confirmed her resignation to The Associated Press through a statement Sunday from her lawyer, Henry Klingeman.
In it, Renna says she has been considering leaving since after the November election, which Christie won decisively.
Nothing burns hotter than a grease fire, so this flame out of a career should be spectacular.
I guess I have to eat crow now. I previously predicted that everyone would shut up to protect Gov Krusty Kreme and take their falls stoically, and he in turn would make sure they were all taken care of on wingnut welfare.
I especially love the part where he calls Wildstein a vaguely recalled acquaintance, after having a cushy job specially created for him so he could appoint his best buddy there.
Wildstein and that Bridgegate Kelly seems like especially nasty shits to me, so this one could turn out like 3 starving weasels in one burlap bag.
It almost seemed sad to see him lately, and I thought he seemed like someone who might kill himself. Then I just remember all the people he has ruthlessly destroyed, many of them perfectly innocent, and I pray that he won’t do it because I want him to suffer as long and as much as possible in his remaining years. Ditto for his Lt Gov. Hope they lock her up too. And whatever happens or to them, I hope it is super humiliating and causes them lots of anxiety and financial insecurity.
