i want to bring in loretta wineburg, in the fort lee district. and the columnist who has covered this from the very start. let me talk to you first, loretta wineburg, this lays clear evidence that takes to the heart of chris christie's operation. >> well, i've been involved in this issue for four months, which the mayor knows. i represent fort lee, indeed i lived in fort lee for a couple of years. so i know this area quite well, i know the geography well. i have been to four -- port authority commission meetings in october, november, december, i have asked question after question. so let's look at this whole thing. i am really glad that the governor has finally, after four months, expressed outrage. let me point out that all of the new jersey commissioners are nominated by the governor. he is the one who appoints them. then we move ahead to his two top lieutenants at the port authority, the deputy executive director and mr. wildstein who was a childhood buddy of his. when those two people left and it was apparent that they were directly involved

he will co-chair the committee with loretta wineburg of whom christie once infamously said to the press, can you please take the bat out on her at once? and a guy who knows his way around. just ask former governor of illinois rod blagojevich. he's the former u.s. attorney who helped convict governor blagojevich back in 2011. bear in mind the 20 subpoenas already issued to christie's circle by the new jersey legislature investigation will require a response by february 3rd. meanwhile governor christie's spokesman said the governor will travel to six states. texas, georgia, utah, connecticut, massachusetts and the home state of rod blagojevich, illinois, to campaign for candidates in his capacity as chair of the republican governors association. everywhere he goes, he will be dogged by questions about time for traffic problems in ft. lee. about a mayor who says his administration held up federal funds for sandy relief in exchange for product development. and every other emerging example of alleged corruption were just bully politics. it's all going to trail as the press goes back to chris

that will be led by loretta wineburg the democrat senator representing ft.ing to be in the assembly committee. john who led the transportation committee, and that investigation leading that committee. that has brought on their own special council by reid with the firm genre and block. he was the former it's ant u.s. attorney in illinois. what's interesting about him, he was the lead investigator and prosecutor for both corruption cases that former illinois governor went under. as you know he is now in prison. both sides have lawyered up. chris christie's investigation brought on mastro also a former u.s. attorney from new york. he's assisting the internal review and also helping with the inquiry by the u.s. attorney of new jersey. got all that? a lot of lawyers here. very serious investigations on all ends carol. >> my head was starting to spin. thanks so much. erin mcpike. let's bring in the analyst who wrote a column about presidential hopes for cnn.com. i want to read folks the part you wrote. quote you don't get elected to any office in this country much
