it's a global firm with something like 1,100 lawyers, among the partners, ted olson, who has led the supreme court in favor of gay marriage. you know, so it's a lot bigger than randy mastro, the lawyer associated with associates of christie, who did this report. that's really the point here. so the contribution doesn't look good, but the real problem with this report is that it was done by christie's lawyer. and it is in no sense an objective report, and, in fact, in doing the report, mastro and the gibson dunn investigators, didn't talk to any of the principles involved in the lane closings in the bridge because they wouldn't talk to them. so on the basis of no information, they declared christie innocent. that is really the scandal with the report. >> essentially because he said so and was very emotional when he said so. let's go back to you, john, the report isn't scoring points with new jersey voters either. only 36% in the latest polling think the report is legitimate. 56% think it's a whitewash. what are the odds even let's say christie escapes any legal action, that primary st
