The committee spokesman confirmed that 907 pages of documents collected in response to the subpoena of former state official David Wildstein, an ally of Gov. Chris Christie, are expected to be posted online sometime mid-morning on Friday.

Even as the controversy over lane closures at the George Washington Bridge continues to roil the Trenton waters, one man who has so far not been implicated could find his future altered.
Kevin O'Dowd, who served as Gov. Chris Christie's chief of staff as so called 'bridgegate' unfolded last fall was nominated last month as the state's new attorney general. He is due to go before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.
The problem for O'Dowd is that Deputy Chief of Staff Bridget Kelly, who was implicated today as part of the investigation into the flap, worked for him. To date none of the emails that have surfaced implicate O'Dowd, even as several other administration members have found themselves caught up in the controversy.
But Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Nicholas Scutari said late last night he doesn't know what effect Kelly's role in the growing scandal will have on O'Dowd, adding that he'll wait to see what comes out of today's Assembly Transportation Committee hearing before deciding what's next.

It only makes sense that nothing would point directly to Governor Soprano if he masterminded the whole thing. And it's equally important that O'Dowd comes up clean, too, because he reports directly to Christie. His inner circle gets to hover -- pure, innocent, chaste -- above an underworld filthy with corruption and chicanery.
If they truly didn't know what was going on, they should have -- and well over a month ago.
