re: #57 darthstar

The federal investigations were always going to be the 800 pound gorilla in the whole controversy. You had Kelly fired and several others resigned. All have taken the 5th or sought immunity at different points, and now it’s a race to see who gets to spill the beans in a deal before everyone else.

Prosecutors will be weighing what kind of information they’re going to get from Kelly, Samson, Wildstein, or others.

If any of these three cut a deal, they’re going to bring the others down, and they’re going to have to name names of others who knew, were involved, and fill in the blanks on what else was going on. Christie’s political operation could well be gutted, even if Christie himself isn’t directly implicated.
