The following is an excerpt from the Auditor from star Ledger:
"Meeting across the Pond When he's not out locking up crooked pols or (not so quietly) running for governor, U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie is often found on his way to or from a Bruce Springsteen concert. And even though The Boss was thou sands of miles and an ocean away last week, that didn't deter the federal lawman.
The Auditor caught up with Christie in London a couple days ago, after the U.S. attorney and his family took in not one but two shows on the European leg of Springsteen's tour. Christie, his wife, Mary Pat, and their four children caught The Boss first in Paris and then in London, between taking in sights such as the Louvre.
"Bruce, in Paris, was amazing," said Christie, who's seen Springsteen in concert nearly 100 times. "The audience was pretty wild."
Springsteen said he scored the tickets courtesy of Springsteen drummer Max Weinberg, whose late father was an assistant U.S. attorney before Christie took over the office in 2002. Weinberg and Christie have become friends in recent years and, in light of the tour schedule, Christie said he was able to "plan the vacation in concert with the concerts."
Understanding how much trouble could be caused by junkets and those who pay for them, Christie had a message for The Auditor: "Your readers should not be concerned about who paid for the concerts or my vacation."

So how was this missed, who did pay for your trips Mr. Christie?
