Christie revved up for likely last year as U.S. Attorney

I can't complain about 125 for 125 but I'd be happier with 1500 for 3000.

First of all, CMDNBEER, many of the 125 are free and never spent a day in jail.  Let's not pretend that Christie was putting everyone in irons for 10 year stints of hard time. Most of his convictions were local officials who took a few grand here and a few grand there and got off with fines or turning other people in.  

And as for this article, did Christie pay for the ad or is it going to be on the ELEC report as an in-kind donation?

How many people have been charged by the NJ AG?  All the corruption in this state and the only person making cases Christie.  I think the real shame and partisanship is from the Democratic party.

With "149" full time attorneys on his prosecuting staff and probably a large number of investigative and support staff Christie brags about 125 convictions since 2002?!? That works out to less than one conviction per attorney per the whole six years!!!

That's not good enough!

I bet there are many hundreds of whistleblowers who have submitted evidence of ilegal actions who's information was never fully investigated or acted on over the last six years.

I suggest that Mr Christie spend a few hours chatting with some of these whistleblowers who have sufffered all manner of abuse and retaliation. Some of them have actually won civil lawsuits against their abusers.

The corruption in NJ, in BOTH parties, is systemic.

There is hardly any money spent, or contract closed, or hire that isn't in some way related to pay to play, or some kind of "connection" or sweetheart deal.......alot of this coruption is legalized and "business as usual"; but much of it could have been investigated and prosecuted,

Bill Brennan said it well up top...there could have been 1500 convictions without breaking a sweat. Especially given that in many cases, whole departments are being run by corrupt "old boys networks" that conspire to screw employees that dare to to their jobs right. Brennan was one who fought back; and he won in court.

The average New Jerseyan doesn't follow the details of the news or of policy as closely as some of the folks here; but I assure you...they know they are being screwed left and right! They know the
"fix is in" and that the system is corrupt.

Christie is trying to portray himself as this great crime fighter and reformer. What a load of complete bull. He works for an administration that is so dirty that it makes people like Joe Coniglio look like an accused jaywalker compared to seasoned armed robbers.

Coniglio took 5k a month from a hospital to, allegedly, influence some grants to them....so how is that all that different from the legalized sweetheart deal that Christie steered to his ex boss....to whom he is beholden? The quids and the quos may not be as clearly cut in the latter; but it's essentially the same old crap. Political influence translates into money.....and that's WRONG!!!

Christie is not part of the solution; he's part of the problem. As a partisan Democrat I say; bring him on....as a citizen of NJ I say to the Republican party; you can do better, and the people of this state deserve better.

Here's some video of the kind of man, and policies, Christie has been loyal to and supportive of over the last six years.

There are thousands of media pieces and books that expose the horrors of the Bush administration. If Chris Christie thinks he can just walk away clean from the dirtiest and most incompetent administration in modern history....he's mistaken.

I will give Christie for some good rhetoric: he says....

"Our unofficial state song if the song of cynicism," said the U.S. Attorney. "We get caught up in the sense that ‘someone else should fix the problem,’ and ‘wake me up when it’s over.’ I understand that in New Jersey we pride ourselves on having a hard edge. That’s ok. We’re stuck between New York and Philly. Maybe it’s inevitable. But we need to take our state back."

The message was simple: vote. Get involved Stay involved."

People like Chris Christie are who we have to take our state back FROM!!!

Unless scores of thousands of Republican AND Democratic grass roots activists take over and push their respective parties to change; there will be no real change. Just a lot of lip service and BS.

PS Beware of anonymous paid PR hacks/flaks who portray Christie as some kind of perfect hero. Do I really have to mention any "names"? LOL
