Another Shoe

According to new reports, Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer told associates (including a city council member) last May of the threat by New Jersey Gov. Chris "Krispykreme" Christie to withhold Sandy funds from her city unless she supported a development project backed by Krispykreme.  That would give Federal prosecutors reason to lend additional weight to Mayor Zimmer's allegation, since contemporaneous accounts of the threat were given to others.   New Jersey Lt. Gov. and Krispykreme's underboss Kim Guadagno has denied Mayor Zimmer's charge that she relayed the Governor's threat in a parking lot outside the Hoboken city hall last May.  Federal prosecutors will be interviewing the associates next week to get their sworn statements.  In the face of this development, Guadagno will have to decide whether she will cooperate with the Feds, or try to stonewall.  For Krispykreme, neither option bodes well.

And that still leaves the separate, ongoing investigations of Bridgegate….
