i'm steve kornacki in for chris hayes tonight. we begin with news about the man who was identified as a key independent eyewitness into the investigation of chris christie that we saw last week. period of months now these confident no doubt claims of certainty that obamacare would die. that obamacare would become nonviable in numerical terms because americans would refuse to sign up for health insurance under the new guidelines under the affordable care act. when obamacare, therefore, died in a death spiral, fox news has been saying over and over and over again health reform would go down in history as not just a great policy failure but as a towering act of political foley. democrats would spiral to their political deaths, alongside the policy, itself. republicans would laugh all the way to the ballot box. that's been the story. that is not only the way that republicans and conservatives have been talking with each other about this policy issue on fox news and on every other republican circle. it's also in some ways the sum total

. >> let me go to you, steve kornacki of our network, who's been all over this story, his analysis, which'm sure he's going to offer on the air, is basically the reason that the judge wouldn't come forward and support the subpoena is because the federal agents, they are investigating this at the federal level and they don't want to get in his way. >> yeah, i think what this actually shows is there's going to be a constant drip, drip, drip, which is really the problem politically for chris christie, right, while this was a small victory in terms of letting the criminal investigation actually, you know, take place, you done know when they are going to be letting out more information, so he can't really control that as much as he can say this was a political investigation. when you're looking at criminal charges or you don't know where that investigation might go, they can start asking other questions or people can offer up other things that aren't related directly to this, but are related to the chris christie administration. >> well, i guess the question, look at this poll now that shows b
