Via TPM:
David Wildstein, the former Port Authority of New York and New Jersey executive at the center of New Jersey bridge scandal, does not want to testify before state lawmakers on Thursday. And he's going to court to avoid it.
Seems his lawyers reasoning is a bit of a stretch:
Wildstein's lawsuit argues that the subpoena served to him is invalid for a number of reasons, according to the Record. The suit questions everything from Wisniewski's signature on the subpoena to Wisniewski's ability to issue a subpoena for investigative purposes.
The last thing Christie needs right now is Wildstein under oath tomorrow.
Should be fun.
