 noting that the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office investigated Brennan's allegations last year and chose not to charge Alvarez, who had served as director of Latino and Muslim outreach for Murphy's gubernatorial campaign.

Murphy's transition officials became aware last December that Alvarez had been investigated, although they were unaware that Brennan was the accuser, according to Cammarano's testimony. They ordered a background check. When it came back "clean,'' Alvarez was offered a job.

But a furious Brennan, a campaign volunteer who became chief of staff at the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage and Financing Agency, testified last month that she was not going to stay silent until Alvarez left his job and until the Murphy administration enacted hiring reforms.

Platkin, who is expected to testify early next year, was clearly aware of the political danger. Platkin told McKenna that if Alvarez resisted his suggestion to leave, McKenna was to warn Alvarez that "it could become ugly or embarrassing for the governor, McKenna testified.

McKenna said Christie would never have let an employee who had a cloud of sexual misconduct over his head remain on the payroll.

"There was certainly a bright line for the governor I worked for when it came to something like this," he testified.

Lawmakers struggled to conceal their frustration — and confusion.

“I don’t understand that level of dysfunction that takes six, seven months for it to come to a close,” Sen. Teresa Ruiz, D-Essex, told Cammarano, referring to Alvarez's drawn-out departure.

“It’s something that I look back on and try to figure out, you know, why did that happen, and I don’t have the answer to it,” Cammarano responded.

Now, the joint legislative panel will spend the next couple of months looking for that answer — and for answers to other thorny questions that might not go away so easily. Has Parked found the longest, documented weekly league streak in disc golf history?
