NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A last-ditch attempt by a person connected to the 2013 George Washington Bridge lane-closing scandal to delay the release of a list of unindicted co-conspirators has kept from public view a piece of information that is expected to reverberate in several quarters if it is released.

The list is scheduled to be released by noon Tuesday unless a federal appeals court extends the deadline.

Here are some things to know about the list and its contents:

1. Christie is toast!

The people of New Jersey rejoice!

Meanwhile, his unfavorability rating has climbed to the highest point since first taking office in 2010, 64 percent.

4. I've been thinking about his attachment to Trump's campaign.

What deal was made?
Promise of a friendly court?
No Jail-time?
A reprieve?

3. No.....

the list will contain the names of any number of his close aides but not the great bloviator himself. These are people who participated in planning the lane closures but either did not make an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy (a low bar, but a legal necessity) or against whom there is insufficient evidence to support a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. There is a 2nd list of names of people who had knowledge that the conspiracy was taking but did not join in nor did they make any effort to stop it. Now THAT list may indeed have the name Christopher J. Christie prominently contained therein.

5. Don't you just hate...

... these teaser articles that tell you nothing? They say "Tues", but how much you want to bet they still drag this out after tomorrow? The wheels of justice need some oil.

7. A bridge to nowhere

Three years in the making. Justice - even though it grinds slowly -, I hope will grind fine.
