commissioner of the port authority who was in charge of the redevelopment of the world trade center submitted his resignation. if that wasn't enough, three officials with the ethics commission accusing governor nor christie's office of, quote, unprecedented interference with an agency set up to be free of political influence. christie, they say, pushed the agency commissioner at a time when she was investigating a member of his staff and in so doing christie crossed a line no other governor had before. joining me now is sal rizzo who reported the story for the new jersey star ledger and josh barro, an msnbc contributor. josh, let's start with the memoranda, the impressions, the mental watercolors that have been painted for the viewing public. according to randy mastro's report, christie had no specific recollections of conversations with baroni and wildstein, especially on the 11th when he said he talked to chris christie about bridgegate. but he remembers other things, including this, which defies explanation. before the 9/11 memorial event began, the governor recalled that mrs. christie asked to use a bathroom and david wildstein directed her to a large white port authori

port authority deals the new york prosecutors are probing. a $1 billion development deal to rebuild a transit hub. taking over the new york city airport which benefited the commissionmissioner's private law firm. christie appointee david samson. the massive multibillion dollar rebuilding of the world trade center itself. he's a long standing client of samson's law firm. and then there's $1.8 billion in port authority funds that were diverted to other projects, which benefited christie political politically. the da is investigating if that deal legally bypassed law makers or violated securities or income tax laws. i want to go to representative wean berg. food for thought here. it does seem to be that samson, having worked for the governor, does benefit from some of these decisions made out of trenton. >> well, david samson was the former attorney general of the state of new jersey, so i'm assuming that as a very well educated attorney and the former attorney general he knows what the laws are of the state of new jersey, and those laws include not voting on something as the commissioner on the port authority that you or your clients might benefit from. and apparentl

port, waterway and coastal security. with that in mind, it would be appropriate to address those questions in homeland security. i noticed that this bill limits and reduces a number of commission officers, alters the mission of coast guard centers and did not come before our committee. . in a hearing on the oil spill in houston which has an impact on america's waterways, particularly around the gulf region, and has an impact on security, it was clear that the coast guard were the first responders, they were the first responders in terms of the potential rescue, they were the first responders in terms of being the cops of the waterway, to ensure that all of those who needed to use that waterway and the ports were able to do so. they were the ones that protected the individuals that were on cruise lines, that were left offshore. and they were of course taking care of commerce. this is clearly part of the responsibility of homeland security. as i indicated, we're very proud of the coast guard. i'm always reminded of the great service that they rendered during hurricane katrina, saving over 1,000 persons. and so i rise today to hope that we'll have an opportunity to address the qu
