Kwon you hear me Phil - Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah - Bridgegate picks up steam

Federal prosecutors have summoned or expressed interest in talking to up to a half-dozen current Port Authority officials as a grand jury investigation into the George Washington Bridge lane closures accelerates, sources familiar with the matter said.

The contact suggests the investigation into the lane closures by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey is entering a new phase.

“The pace of this appears to be picking up,” said another source familiar with the matter.

Among the Port Authority officials who federal prosecutors want to hear from is Phil Kwon, the Port Authority deputy general counsel. Kwon, who has received a subpoena to appear before a grand jury, prepared former deputy executive director Bill Baroni for testimony before the state legislature in November. Baroni told state lawmakers – while not under oath – that the lane closures were part of a traffic study.

Since then, the legitimacy of the traffic study has been largely undercut, dismissed as a cover story for politically-motivated lane closures that created a traffic jam in Fort Lee.

My preference is a slow, drawn out build up, ending with a massive climatic explosion.

That way we get the best possible return from this.
