mr. baroni in his capacity as an executive of the port authority. he's speaking in 2012 in this photo. and this is at a ceremony where, see what he's got his hands on there? he is presenting to the mayor of secaucus, new jersey, one of the pieces of steel from the world trade center ruins. that is an actual piece of the world trade center he's giving to the mayor of secaucus. why did that mayor get that piece of the world trade center towers? "the new york times" today reports that beyond this difficult worldwide how will you commemorate 9/11 application process, another way people got pieces of the actual steel from the wreckage of the world trade center from that terrorist attack was to be a new jersey mayor who the christie administration was wooing for an endorsement for governor chris christie's re-election. according to the "times," pieces of steel from the ruins of the world trade center were, "presented by the port authority of new york and new jersey to 20 carefully chosen new jersey mayors who sat atop a list of 100 whose endorsements governor christie hoped to win." if you f

mr. baroni.he times reported that is how the christie administration managed 9/11 wreckage for their own political gain. today the times reported that the christie administration has decided to stop doing that. at least the christie administration appointees have decided to stop doing that. the person who was chosen to replace bill baroni has decided she will give up the decision making authority over that 9/11 steel. the decision that bill baroni had ceded to his own office to use the ruins of 9/11 to help governor christie's re-election campaign. treating the relics like they were campaign buttons or swag bags at a campaign party. the person who has replaced bill baroni has decided to stop doing that, and allow the person who oversees all the other states to also oversee new jersey. it's weird timing, right? the same week that the new york times is reporting this cringe inducing story about political scheming by the christie administration involving one of the most sacred events in american his

. >> after bill baroni gave that testimony about the supposed traffic study being the explanation for what happened on the bridge, mriato, he was one of the only people who corroborated bill baroni's bogus story. when lawmakers were calling the explanation a fairy tale, it was paul nunziato who stuck up for him. he raised his hand, took credit for that supposed traffic study that lead to the lane closures, he was right, he was telling the truth, there really was a traffic study. he should know, since it was all his idea in the first place. when the port authority executive director criticized what happened on the bridge, it was paul who said that criticism was a load of garbage. paul also helped bill baroni along with the other part of the traffic study cover story, which is that not only was there no political motivation for shutting down the lanes on that bridge. it was really an innocent traffic study. it was an innocent traffic study that caused no harm, nothing like ambulances being delayed or police being delayed, nothing happened because of that traffic study. not only was it not a traffic study, ambulances w

well, bill baroni came to our committee when -- when it was called a traffic study that no one has ever seen the reports. mr. wildstein came before the committee as well. but as everyone is aware, he pled the fifth. ms. kelly has anyone spoken to directly? no, but we have been able to obtain subpoena documents. >> what about the governor, it doesn't quote him at all, including in the footnotes. has the governor talked to your committee? >> no, the governor has not come before our committee and we have not requested his presence before our committee. because we're doing our investigation as thorough as possible. and to do that, you need to get the documents first. review the documents and then question him on it. this particular report, quite honestly, everyone knew what was going to come out of it. what's appalling to me is that we have to foot this bill. that's appalling that the taxpayers of new jersey have to pay a million dollars for a report that says the governor did nothing. i'm not saying he did nothing, but were we expecting any other kind of an outcome? >> this report says it relied on 250,000 doc

bill baroni, who was sent out to do the cover-up which wasn't a very good cover-up. and let me say a little gratuitously, mr. mastro with his high hourly salary didn't do a very good report. he issues a report without knowing the motive, without being able to speak to many of the main people in this. and then throwing in the gratuitous remarks about this so-called personal relationship is really -- because they describe david wildstein as the man with the crazy ideas. that man with the crazy ideas was hired to be the governor's eyes and ears at the port authority. and then they depict -- how are they depicting bridget kelly here? that somehow she was a woman scorned and therefore kind of gone wild on herself? >> dodgy. not to be believed. >> that's the woman he hired in his office. >> and by the way, worked less than 100 feet across the office. let me go back to brian about this. here is the one i thought was interesting. wildstein has said he told the governor about this when it was happening. now this report that cost all this money, $600,000 bucks, whatever, doesn't even say whether the governor had a co

baroni. >> "the new york times" story this morning looks at how it could be substantiated. the times report that mrldstein told me he informed mr. christie at the memorial the lanes were closed. then this. several people with the governor that day or observed him said he and the people accompanying him, all three of whom have resigned from the port authority and the agency's police superintendent had ample opportunity to speak privately. there was a camper, a very hot day, an air-conditioned camper. all of them were in there together for an extended period of time. we have the pictures -- >> one shows the camper, too. >> they were in there for awhile. stk pictures are great and wonderful, good job in taking them, they don't prove anything. for all we know, they were talking about what they were having for lunch. >> true. >> even with respect to statements wildstein made to others that he conveyed to the governor that day about lane closures, there's been no allegation what so ever that anything was said about theal tier yor motive or this was done intentionally or that it's anything other than a tr
