not fishman, but the u.s.outhern district of new york and the manhattan district attorney, what it is you suspect they are looking at and what role they are going to play in all of this? >> well, they have chatted with fishman apparently and they are cooperating. so they have deferred sdny's to new jersey. if when new jersey is done they feel they have more to pursue, then they can under rule six, they can begin their investigation. >> do you think -- he deferred -- chose to defer to paul fishman. they advanced basically very similar information to what the office subpoenaed. do you suspect advance will be told to defer? >> it i think they have people in that office that i think there will be communication between fishman's office now that it's out there. i think vance will proceed and where it gets tricky is in turning over information and calling witnesses. and if there's a witness that fishman wants, fishman trumps vance's investigation so they will have to wait. but there's a distinct possibility that vanc

to him as patrick fishman before. thank you for the correction, mary. hunter, the ryan lizza piece today is one of a string of stories that have traced the roots of chris christie's political career. you've done reporting on this and talked about his behavior and aks in high school forward and what emerges from myriad sources, from the atlantic to your publication to the new yorker is a man who has wielded the cudgel of power unsparingly. and also does not have aai lee janss that last beyond their political expiration date. i thought one of the most damning apartments of ryan's story out today is former governor tom kean in in ways responsible for christie's emergence on the national political scene. kriszie visited him as a high schooler and was a longtime ally. ultimately, christie attempted to engineer a coup against his son for political expedience which lost him unsurprisingly the favor of his mentors who then says on the record in this piece today, christie doesn't always try to persuade you with reason. he make

attorney paul fishman in newark, new jersey." what's different now, what we're reporting tonight is new testimony that could indicate prosecutors are gathering new or addition kinds of information pursuant to this formal investigation. it could also mean the jury will hear from additional witnesses, indeed, it is not usual to only hear from one in an investigation like this. now, who is drewniak? how is a close aide and forecasted ally of governor christie. he was his longtime press secretary and interestingly, he previously worked for him at the u.s. attorney's office. of course, that's the very u.s. attorney's office where this federal investigation is proceeding. the reason his testimony today is potentially significant is because, remember, a grand jury is a pretty serious federal proceeding. witnesses must testify without a lawyer and they cannot plead the fifth in that setting. we could see many more developments growing out of today's news. joining us to help unpack it is former federal prosecutor, current criminal defense

>> i think at this point what paul fishman is looking for are criminal indictments.his job at this point, is to present to the grand jury the evidence that he believes may indicate that crimes were committed not just at bridgegate in fort lee, who knows where else this will lead. wildstein is perfectly positioned, and his lawyer's letter made it clear that wildstein can give up a whole lot of information. at least that was the implication. >> dan french, former u.s. attorney, guide us through this. scott's report says today that "esquire" has learned from sources close to the investigation that david wildstein, the former port authority operative who helped plan and execute the great fort lee situation, is now cooperating with paul fishman. dan, if true, what are the possible scenarios that are going on in the room between david wildstein and the u.s. attorney? >> you know, lawrence, first good evening. if david wildstein is looking for immunity and he's looking for immunity both from the federal government and the state government, the federal government can't confe

i'm very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with glenn fishman. taken this out of the mouse and hooked it up through the aorta to profuse it, to keep it happy. we can look at that both in normal conditions as well as in some of the genetically engineered mice that we've made without gap junctions or with other channel abnormalities and try to understand why they get arrhythmias, which is really the main question that's driving us here. if we understand the biology of the pacemaker cells, it's our hope that we can regenerate portions of the conduction system by re-implanting cells that take on this function from those that have degenerated in the patient. more broadly, in terms of the whole heart's electrical system, if we can understand the basis for many forms of lethal cardiac arrhythmias, we can go in and treat those sorts of diseases. cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in the united states, and sudden cardiac death from arrhythmias is the leading cause of death within the cardiovascular category. it's clearly relevant jus

is it being led by paul fishman? new jersey? is there any other corollary action that's going to move it along? >> right now we're looking at a serious development. you described it as an escalation. but suddenly there was a question, i think. if you look how it's proceeded so far, right now the legislative committee has been looking at the bridgegate stuff and the u.s. attorney has had dominion over the hoboken related allegations. now we see that those two elements are being brought together in this grand jury investigation. that's a serious -- that's a serious sign that, you know, there had been a question about whether or not a federal crime could have been committed with what happened at the gwb, and now it's clear that people in the u.s. attorney's office in newark think that there was. and that they have jurisdiction over that. and they're willing to bring in one of the most public supporters of the governor, one of the most public members of his staff to talk to them. that's a serious development. that's a big deal. >> l

you have the grand jury impaneled, all that fishman bringing witnesses.hen nobody knows exactly what to make of it. but according to this reporting, meeting with fishman's people for a couple days last week and you have bridget kelly's lawyer who made it explicitly clear that he would like a deal as well for his client. so this is high stakes stuff. and it, this u.s. attorney's office is very different than it was when chris christie was leaking it. we would know what they would want us to know. this won't play out as publicly as it would. this is a more opaque u.s. attorney's office but we are starting to find out what's happening there and there's action. >> i am somewhat surprised. i think the conventional wisdom was that kelly and stepien's defense invoking the fifth amendment was a little stretch given what critical roles they played, seemingly in all of this. but having said that, where a door closes, a window is still open. which is to say the randy mastro transcripts are now being demanded by john wisniewski who is chairing the investigation. he h

we do know there is some type of communication that exists between people in fishman's office and peoplenvolved with the legislative committee. >> so they don't step on each other. >> and mainly the civil legislative committee doesn't step on the u.s. attorney. i don't think anything that the legislative committee does in terms of calling witnesses ademanding documents they're not going to do something that doesn't have tacit approval from the u.s. attorneys office. >> let's go to the dawn zimmer angle. the question of whether or not the entries in her written diary are factual or fanciful. does the fact she waited so long to come forward, does it impact in a sense her credibility or is she another person who potentially could take this investigation into a still further and more troubling direction for christie? >> that's why this proposal from christie about make it a law that officials have to come forward right away. >> or what? >> i'm curious how that would work. it dovetails with the main line of attack, it's been two, one it took her eight months and also in those eight months she
