Bloomberg:com: Christie Says He’s ‘Growing Tired’ of Bridge Investigation
Governor Chris Christie said he’s “growing tired” of the New Jersey legislature’s investigation into politically motivated traffic tie-ups at the George Washington Bridge a year ago.
Speaking today in Trenton...(he) said Assemblyman John Wisniewski...(and) Democrats who control the legislature and the panel probing the scandal are “addicted to MSNBC” and are leaking information for publicity...Christie decried the leaks, especially records of interviews his administration conducted with lawyers that were disseminated this month when he was traveling in Mexico.
“The fact is that they’ve been digging around for eight months now and have found absolutely nothing,” Christie, 52, told reporters in his State House office. “Wrap up your work. Do your job.”
The closings also are being investigated by U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman...

MSNBC.com, NBC New York: After 9 Months, Federal Probe of GWB Closure Finds No Link to Christie, Federal Sources Say
The U.S. Justice Department investigation into New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s role in “Bridgegate” has thus far uncovered no information he either knew in advance or directed the closure of traffic lanes on the George Washington Bridge, federal officials tell NBC 4 New York.
Federal officials caution that the investigation begun nine months ago is ongoing and that no final determination has been made but say that...authorities have uncovered no information Christie either knew in advance or ordered the closure of traffic lanes.
“My experience with federal law enforcement is that once you reach critical mass if you don’t have it within nine months or so you’re not likely to ever get it,” (said) former federal prosecutor Robert W. Ray...who had no involvement in any of the probes into the bridge closure...

In case you've forgotten, here's why Christie feels that MSNBC is picking on him:

Since the NBC network has been so mean about leaking stories unfavorable to Crew Christie, I suppose it's only fair that an anonymous "federal official" with favorable news to leak would beat a path to their door. We don't know who these federal officials are -- how far up the ladder are they? Are they connected to lead investigator Paul Fishman? Are they connected to the investigation at all? At least the second story admits that investigations have not ended, and there's more on Christie's plate (a metaphor, not a weight joke) than Bridge(t)-Gate. So why is this "news" at all?
Are these leaks coming out of the federal investigation real? Or is Christie just "working the refs" -- huffing and puffing in hopes of making critics (especially Rachel Maddow) back off? Come to think of it, HOW does Christie know that investigators have found nothing -- because they told him so, because he has spies in Fishman's camp, because he's innocent, or because HE KNOWS he's destroyed any evidence that points at him?
