Former Gov. Brendan T. Byrne said today that if Sen. Barack Obama (D-Il.) wins the presidential election, he would like Obama to consider criminal defense attorney Joseph Hayden for U.S. Attorney in New Jersey.
“I think we’ve got to have a good us attorney, especially if Christie is going to be a candidate,” the former governor told PolitickerNJ.com, referring to current U.S. Attorney Chris Christie.
“Hayden’s got a nice personality, a sensational record and is well-respected,” said Byrne. “He’s also been very active in the Obama campaign. I want to suggest that they look at him.”
A partner with Walder, Hayden and Brogan, P.A., Hayden represents Bergen County Democratic Party Chairman Joseph Ferriero in the latter’s corruption case. Hayden served as deputy attorney general in the early 1970s, prosecuted the state’s first wiretap case and launched a grand jury probe of the Atlantic City police department.
The race for governor helped give PolitickerNJ.com our best month since the site launched on February 1, 2000.
