A member of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s administration who has been subpoenaed in an alleged political payback investigation has resigned.
Christina Genovese Renna left the governor’s office Friday, the same day former Christie loyalist David Wildstein claimed to have evidence contradicting the governor’s account of a lane closing operation, apparently to create traffic chaos as a political vendetta.
Renna reported to Deputy Chief of Staff Bridget Kelly, who apparently set the lane closings in motion with an email to Wildstein.
Renna confirmed her resignation to The Associated Press through a statement Sunday from her lawyer, Henry Klingeman.
In it, Renna says she has been considering leaving since after the November election, which Christie won decisively.
Renna is among 17 people close to Christie subpoenaed by a legislative panel.

Down with Christie the liberal. A real RINO.
In comparison to the scandals our gangster-in-chief has perpetrated with nsa, irs, etc this is small potatoes for chris crispy. But it is a bit hard to believe his entire staff knew about this and he had no clue. You can only throw so many people under the bus before you gotta walk the plank.
Jew Yorker, what does this scandal have to do with Obama. While no fan of Obama, it is clear your absurdiTEA comes from a far right obstructionist Tea Party influenced perspective.
Boro Pork–instead of using your pseudonym, why don’t you use your real name, joe scarborough?
