David Wildstein Practically Begs for Immunity So He Can Spill the Beans in Bridgegate

Republican New Jersey Governor Chris Christie appointee David Wildstein, who would not be in the Port Authority if Christie hadn’t had them create a position for his “friend” , is practically begging for immunity and promising to share more information if he gets it, according to the Associated Press via the Morning Sentinel.

Wildstein’s lawyer Alan Zegas told The Associated Press on Friday that there has not been any offer of immunity from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which is reviewing the matter. “If he has immunity from the relevant entities, he’ll talk,” Zegas said.

Wildstein already turned over the smoking gun email in which Bridget Anne Kelly, a top Christie aide, wrote, “Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee”. He responded to that email, “Got it.” Wildstein is the person who directed the lane closures on the George Washington Bridge.

Wildstein has already given damning documents to investigating legislative bodies. He seems very eager to save his own skin.

This is exactly the sort of thing that Chris Christie needed not to happen. But first, Wildstein must be granted immunity and that will only happen if it looks like there is a bigger fish to fry.
