Christie's Chief Of Staff Is Attorney General Nominee - Begins Confirmation Process On Tuesday; UPDATE: Christie Nominees delayed.

Here’s an interesting sidebar. Christie’s Chief of Staff, Kevin O’Dowd, was spared in this scandal. He’s also Christie’s nominee for Attorney General. He’s scheduled to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. If he pleads the fifth in response to ‘bridgegate’ questions, he’s done. And so is Christie. If he doesn't plead the fifth, it will make for some interesting testimony.

Stay tuned.....

...Kevin O'Dowd, who served as Gov. Chris Christie's chief of staff as so called 'bridgegate' unfolded last fall was nominated last month as the state's new attorney general. He is due to go before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. 

The problem for O'Dowd is that Deputy Chief of Staff Bridget Kelly, who was implicated today as part of the investigation into the flap, worked for him. To date none of the emails that have surfaced implicate O'Dowd, even as several other administration members have found themselves caught up in the controversy. 

But Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Nicholas Scutari said late last night he doesn't know what effect Kelly's role in the growing scandal will have on O'Dowd, adding that he'll wait to see what comes out of today's Assembly Transportation Committee hearing before deciding what's next. 

"(O'Dowd's hearing) is still scheduled but we need to see what if anything more comes out (today) because all nominees have to swear in and testify," he said. "If it goes forward it certainly will be a lot longer and different than originally anticipated."...

Update:

I guess O'Dowd won't be testifying on Tuesday, afterall. DELAYED
