Some Democrats Tried to Stop Investigation Into Christie

Former New Jersey Gov. Richard Codey (D) said that some Democrats “tried to quash an investigation into the George Washington Bridge traffic scandal to protect Gov. Chris Christie (R),” the Newark Star Ledger reports.

Codey noted “that while the state Assembly was ramping up its investigation on the massive traffic jam — eventually finding that several people in Christie’s office were involved — there was ‘an intense campaign’ by some Democrats to stop it in its tracks.”

Said Codey: “People know that there was an effort by certain Democratic circles to have this thing not see the light of day.”
