The subpoenas seek documents beginning on Sept 1, 2012 through today that could shed light on who was behind a plot to create massive traffic jams in Fort Lee, N.J. in September and whether it was done to settle a political score. The committee also is very specific in seeking any correspondence related to the lane closures including emails/texts on personal cell phones, tablets and laptops. 

The scandal threatens to upend Christie’s second term and derail any presidential ambitions.

Four members of his circle have lost their jobs.

The New Jersey Assembly investigation is just one of several inquiries into the lane closures.

Others looking into it :

New Jersey Senate Select Committee on Investigation

Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s Office of Inspector General

U.S. Attorney’s Office of New Jersey (Chris Christie once headed this office)
