Kevin Marino, refuted the panel’s assertion that Stepien was not in danger of self-incrimination and took direct aim at one of its co-chairmen, Assemblyman John Wisniewski (D-Middlesex).

“Having pre-determined the outcome of his committee’s investigation and successfully sparked a parallel grand jury probe, the chairman clearly hopes these investigations will lead to criminal charges,” Marino said. “Mr. Stepien is undeniably a subject, if not a target, of both inquiries.”

Marino said Stepien was contacted Jan. 17 by an FBI agent seeking to interview him about the September lane closings, which Democrats say was an act of political retribution aimed at the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee for not endorsing Christie’s re-election bid. Marino declined the request.

In the middle of February, according to court documents, two investigators visited Stepien’s home in Princeton when he was not there and “questioned his landlord about his conduct and character — was he married, was he a rowdy tenant, did he pay his rent on time — and left behind their calling cards, which prominently identified them as criminal investigators and left no doubt as to the nature of their investigation.”
