on the investigation. Mr. Manzo seems to feel that Christie will be allowed to skate because of the courtesies for members of the U.S. Attorney's "club". For what it's worth I had heard a similar report from somebody who has friends who are members of that club, but their reasoning was because there were no wiretaps or informants and the U.S. Attorney doesn't like cases that aren't slam dunks.
U. S. Attorney Spokesperson on Bridgegate: Ignore Leaks of Our Intentions to Clear Christie
By Louis Manzo September 24, 2014
Governor Chris Christie gave the appearance of a cat who swallowed a canary as he chastised and taunted members of the legislative committee investigating him last Thursday [September 18, 2014]. Theyve been irresponsible, Christie charged. These are people who are addicted to MSNBC and the front pages of your newspapers, he further declared to a gallery full of media.
The Governors remarks mysteriously coincided with the song of another canary, this one chirping inside the offices of federal prosecutors in New Jersey, which later in the day let the cat out of the bag regarding information about the United States Attorneys Offices [USAO] supposedly surreptitious investigation of Bridgegate and other matters. The news that Christie would not be charged in the probe might be considered a sort of in-kind contribution to the Governors stealth presidential campaign from prosecutors in his former office.
Expect the scapegoats and the low-hanging fruit that Governor Christie served up to the media and prosecutors to suffer the consequences for creating the worlds most famous traffic jamthe event that seemingly everyone of importance in Christies office, with the exception of Christie, knew about

What a remarkable coincidence, huh? Press conference and the leak all in the same day. Who would have guessed.
