Christie Addresses The Investigation Of His Brother/ DPA Monitorship

On Monday April 6, Gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie held a press conference to address the then brewing storm over the 2005 investigation of his brother and the later appointment of David Kelly, the prosecutor who investigated Chris's brother to no avail,to a Deferred Prosecution Agreement monitorship of the orthopedic device industry.

The story was news last week when Congressmen Frank Pallone and Bill Pascrell, "Caddies for Corzine" as Christie calls them, announced that the were proposing reforms to how DPAs were awarded.

Apparently Christie addressed the issue to the main stream media's satisfaction during his press conference. It has not been main stream news this week.

However, some of Christie's opponents in the blogosphere are hoping to reignite the story. There is an anonymous website that calls Christie corrupt. Conservatives with Attitude has discussed the issue liberally as has Blue Jersey. Politickernj has been the conduit for the smear site to be passed around. One of the authors of the smear site tried to get me to run with it. I don't traffic in garbage.

As I wrote last Friday insiders on both sides of the isle have known that this issue would be raised for quite some time.

Some commenters on other web sites are insisting that Christie still has not answered these questions. He did when he sat with me on Monday afternoon. Here's the clip of that portion of the interview. If you read or hear anyone clamoring for Christie's answers, send them to this post.
