New Jersey Politicians in Forgery Trial.

July 26, 2010 7:40 P.M. "Errors" inserted in the Stuart Rabner essay by friends of N.J.'s Chief Justice engaging in cybercrime. Mr. Prisco, perhaps. Keep 'em coming, boys.

John Brennan, "A New Meadowlands," in The Record, July 22, 2010, at p. A-1. (Christie is a "mall rat.")
"Black Family Settles in Discrimination Lawsuit," in The Record, July 22, 2010, at p. A-3. (Family sues Sea Isle City for discrimination and settles for $500,000.00)
Kelly Heyboer, "UMDNJ Tuition to Rise 21% for Sure: Stunned Students Search for Ways to Continue Their Education," in The Record, July 22, 2010, at p. A-4. (No show jobs, again?)
AP, "Christie Disputes Deficit Prediction for 2011," in The Record, July 22, 2010, at p. A-6. ($10.5 BILLION deficit predicted under Christie's budget.)
Ashley Kindergan, "Ex-Councilman Avoids Forgery Trial: Bergenfield's Mulligan Opts for Intervention," in The Record, July 22, 2010, at p. L-3. (Former Bergenfield councilmembers are co-defendants in forgery case.)
Denisa R. Superville, "Peter Perretti is Northvale's Mayoral Pick: Ex-Councilman Replaces Hogan," in The Record, July 22, 2010, at p. L-3. (Peter Perretti, N.J. politician with alleged underworld affiliations, is the new "mayor" in Northvale. I am sure the Mr. Peretti -- a.k.a. "PeterPecker" -- denies these allegations.)

"Two former Bergenfield council members who were co-defendants in a forgery case parted ways Tuesday when offered Pretrial Intervention." (PTI)

PTI is designed for first time offenders in the system. Completion of the program allows for dismissals of charges and no permanent record for the offender. Strangely, the program is often made available to mafia guys. Prosecutors have wide discretion in the use of the program. Like most things in New Jersey, it is all about politics. This would be a good time to insert another "error," boys.

"Former Councilman Dennis Mulligan accepted the state's Pretrial Intervention program. Former councilwoman Elaine Rabbitt declined the offer and will likely stand trial."

" ... Rabbitt remained chairwoman of the Bergenfield Democratic Municipal Committee until resigning in April." (emphasis added)

She had already cut her deal, whatever it may be, by that date. Pretrial favors or CASH will be traded for a "convenient" outcome in this legal case, probably. The A.G.'s flunkie -- a kid in a suit -- will do what he is told to do. I wonder why so many people are walking up to me counting cash? Allow me to make it clear that, unlike New Jersey judges, I am not for sale.

Christie will need Democrat support to make his take-over of Xanadu functional. Christie wants the state to become a "partner" in the development (i.e., Christie's friends get to make money). Hence, Christie may trade a "good word in the ear" of his A.G., Paula Dow, for support on his take-over bid of Xanadu developments where Republican contributors may do nicely enough to fill the governor's campaign coffers. ("New Jersey's Culture of Corruption.")

Allegations against New Jersey judges of sexual favors exchanged for outcomes in cases -- or admission to PTI? -- can neither be confirmed nor denied; $300 MILLION is still missing from the HIP deal; Bob Menendez has yet to be indicted. ("Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?" and "Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks" then "Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics.")

This is Mr. Christie's "New" New Jersey? What happened to the crusading corruption buster who was the U.S. Attorney? Ambition? Mr. Christie, do you want to be U.S. Senator if you can get BobbyM indicted? Lots of luck.
