The subpoena, received by the Port Authority on Friday, was withdrawn Monday afternoon, before reports surfaced in several media outlets regarding the subpoena, people familiar with the matter said. The exact reason was unclear, but the sources said that the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, who was already investigating the Port Authority's closure of access lanes to the George Washington Bridge, would likely take over any potential inquiry into Samson, who has come under scrutiny for apparent conflicts of interest.

Two sources with knowledge of the Mar. 7 subpoena from Preet Bahara's office said it dealt specifically with Samson's involvement in Port Authority actions. Samson, one of Governor Christie's closest advisers, is the founder of a powerful law firm, Wolff Samson. As scrutiny of him and other Christie allies at the Port Authority has intensified, a series of votes taken by Samson as a Port Authority commissioner have raised ethical questions because they appeared to benefit clients of his private law firm.

Representatives of the U.S. Attorney's Office in New Jersey and the southern district of Manhattan declined to comment. But some observers said it would have been unusual to have a second U.S. Attorney's Office conducting an investigation that overlaps with one already under way. Federal prosecutors from different districts do bump into each other during investigations that have not been made public. But in this case, U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman announced that he was reviewing the lane closures, and Samson is a central figure in the controversy.

It's not clear if the withdrawal was the result of a turf battle. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan declined to say whether federal prosecutors in New Jersey were notified before the Manhattan office issued its subpoena to the Port Authority. The New Jersey office already had issued a subpoena to the agency, but it did not deal specifically with Samson.

These assholes better not skate. This is so overwhelming criminal.

The closest I come to worship of a deity.
Can I hear an Amen?

apparently withdrew the subpoenas this evening. It looks like they're going to turn the portion of the investigation they initiated over to NJ. Makes sense. It would be unusual for there to be competing investigations.

Samson needs to go - amazing that he has not resigned from the Port Authority yet
